» Feature Writer Harsh Nevatia - Your take on this

In response to Your take on this posted by shukla:
Incidentally Kanhaiyalal Munshi, the founder of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, has written a seven or eight volume work on the life of Krishna. He describes the incident of the Govardhan hill differently. He says that Krishna found a cave within the mountain into which he took the people of Vrindavan for shelter.

He makes an interesting point. He believes that Krishna lifted the Govardhan hill but he describes it differently in his book. Because he wants to project Krishna as more human and less divine. He wants to convey the message that one does not have to be a God to fight evil. We humans have that capacity and should use it.
