Sri Krishna is the Supreme Lord of Vaishnava devotion, the cowherd of Vrindavan and the charioteer of Arjuna. What does it feel like to stand in a prison cell at midnight and know God is about to be born?

The descent of the Avatar begins in the dark, with chains on Vasudeva's wrists and guards asleep in Mathura. The cosmic drama unfolds through intensely personal acts of divine play as the infant Lord crosses a flooding Yamuna under the canopy of the serpent Shesha. In Gokul and Vrindavan, the Supreme Person allows himself to be raised by Yashoda, who glimpses the entire universe inside his mouth and then forgets it out of maternal love. The narrative follows his joyful childhood pastimes, from lifting Govardhan Hill on one finger to shelter his community from Indra's rains, to dancing the sacred Rasa Lila under the autumn moon. The volume leaves the reader on the banks of the Yamuna, where the forest forever holds the memory of his lotus feet.
