Nava Leela

Nine stories of Shyam

The same Krishna the bhajans address — told as illustrated leelas from the Bhagavata. Birth, butter, the mountain, the dance, and Sudama’s handful of rice.

The midnight birth of Krishna

Leela I · जन्म

The Midnight Birth

A prison in Mathura, a river that parts, and a child raised as a cowherd.

Krishna lifting Govardhan

Leela VI · गोवर्धन

The Lifting of Govardhan

Seven days of rain. One small hand. The hill that feeds Vraja becomes an umbrella.

Sudama’s Handful of Rice

Bhakt

Meerabai and Raskhan

Two lives that faced the same Shyam — a Rathore princess who would not leave the sanctum, and a Pathan poet named on the Yamuna bank.

Sant Meerabai before Giridhar Gopal

Sant · Merta to Dwarka

Meerabai

The child shown a Krishna idol as her bridegroom. The widow who drank poison as amrit.

Krishna naming Raskhan

Syed Ibrahim · Vrindavan

Raskhan

Three days outside the temple. Then Krishna came and gave him a name.
