Menon's take on the Bhagavata Purana is brilliantly condensed and organized in Blue God: A Life of Krishna so that the reader enjoys a Yoga-like experience as the story flips back and forth between Cosmic Krishna delivering the Bhagavad-Gita, and playful Krishna in his exuberant youth. By the end, the two timelines align into one singular expression fulfilling a satisfying depiction of stabilized Cosmic Consciousness.
Wildly entertaining, humorous, sensual, at times shocking and brutal, Blue God delivers a clear and relatable introduction to the Bhagavad-Gita while offering keen insight into the life of Krishna which becomes enormously helpful when one finds themselves inspired to take on The Mahabharata.
