Translations:Krishna/30/en
Krishna’s life suggests the freedom of the divine. As a child, Krishna behaves with utter spontaneity. He scrambles around the cowherd village with his elder brother, plays with his own shadow, rolls in the dust, dances to make his bangles jingle, eats dirt despite his mother’s warning against it, laughs to himself or sits quietly absorbed in his own imaginings. Krishna passes his time in play, following every whim, acting without calculation, delighting the entire cowherd settlement.[1]
