About this listen

Krishna and His Hill explores the essence of dharma through the lens of inquiry, inspired by the ancient Vedic tradition. This book delves into the profound question, "Kim Phalam"—"What is the purpose? What is to be gained?"—a query posed by a young Krishna to His father, Nanda Maharaja, regarding a traditional yajna. This seemingly simple question becomes a powerful tool for decoding the complexities of dharma, challenging conventional interpretations and guiding readers toward a deeper, more authentic understanding of their spiritual path.

Inspired by the dialogue between Krishna and Nanda, Krishna and His Hill encourages readers to question the motivations behind their actions and beliefs, especially those rooted in tradition. Just as Krishna's inquiry led to the revolutionary Govardhana Puja, this book invites a re-evaluation of established practices, urging readers to seek the true purpose behind rituals and customs.

Krishna and His Hill further explores:

  • The significance of intention and consequence in action, drawing from the principles of karma and "phalam".
  • How to move beyond general awareness and cultivate genuine devotion, or bhakti, as exemplified by the story of Govardhana Puja.
  • The challenges of understanding and communicating the path of bhakti to others.
  • Practical applications of the "Kim Phalam" question in various aspects of life, including religious activities and daily routines.
  • Insights into Krishna's role as Giridhari, the lifter of Govardhana Hill, and the director of true worship.
  • Reasons why individuals might resist questioning tradition, and how to overcome these obstacles.
  • The importance of surrendering to a higher power and recognizing the limitations of human effort.
  • How even seemingly simple acts of devotion can lead to profound spiritual experiences.

Ultimately, Krishna and His Hill challenges readers to embrace the spirit of inquiry, question the status quo, and embark on a transformative journey toward discovering their true purpose and aligning their lives with the eternal principles of dharma.
