Never before has the complete life of Krishna been told in a way that is so engaging and understandable, yet so faithful to the ancient epics of India. Spiritual seekers of all traditions will find inspiration and revitalized faith in these pages.
Sri Krishna Lila describes the extraordinary manifestation of the Eternal in the realm of time that occurred in Krishna, the playful and enchantingly beautiful Deity who embodies the highest truths of India's spiritual wisdom.
While the usual Western image of God as father or monarch is represented in this story, readers will also find here much more -- a refreshing and powerful picture of God as child, playmate, lover, friend, and teacher. They will discover how India conceived the most intimate and joyous experience of God, using the seductive metaphor of the Divine Beloved. What is evoked here is not a religion of moral law and stern obligation, but a spirituality of joy and true desire, love and beauty, contemplation and inner awakening.
This life of Krishna expands our concept of divinity and raises our thoughts to a higher spiritual plane. What does it mean to conceive of God as warrior and king? What does it mean to relate to the Infinite as friend or husband? Such experiences are vividly portrayed in these pages. We are uplifted as we contemplate the unlimited joy of the Eternal, appearing to us in a form combining beauty, strength, and irrepressible playfulness.
Just as the music from Krishna's heavenly flute is irresistibly attractive, so this book will entrance its readers.
In this podcast Mataji Vanamali reads book 1, Bala Lila, of the three books of Sri Krishna Lila, and the first 10 of 33 chapters.

Sri Krishna Lila 8. Krishna Lifts The Mountain...
Vanamali Mataji Sings her original love poems...
ENGINE VARUM NEE
O Beloved Vanamali! How will you come to me?
Will you come on a raft or on a cloud or in the chariot of my mind?
How should I welcome the King of kings?
What can I offer the God of gods?
I have only my tears, caught in the cup of my heart
In the bridal hall of life, I have wandered far and wide
Holding the wedding garland in my hand,
Searching for a suitable groom,
Many births have I taken and many times died,
Countless are the garbs I have donned.
Searching desperately for my lover.
But never did I find the perfect person. (Uttama Purusha)
O Help of the Helpless!,
Sole support of the abandoned!
Wilt thou not accept my wedding garland?
Wilt thou not wed this jeevatma (embodied soul)
And place the garland round her neck.?
O beloved Vanamali!
How will you come to me?
ENGINE VARUM NEE
(Raga—Charukesi)
Engine varum nee, priya Vanamali,
Odathilo, carmekhathilo,
Athava en manorathathilo.
Vanamali….Vanamali…..
Athava en manorathathilo.
Rajathirajane engine sweekarikkum,
Devathidevane entu jaan kazhchavekkum
Kannunir maatram hridaya thalikayil.
Vanamali…Vanamali,
Kannunir maatram hridaya thalikayil
Jeevithamayoru swayamvara pandalil,
Varane thedi jaan vanamala kai pidichum,
Palavattam janichum, palavattam marichum,
Pala vesham dharichum thiranju nadannu jaan,
Uttama purushane kandethiyilla jaan,.
Uttama purushane kandethiyilla jaan,
Vanamali…Vanamali,
Uttama purushane kandethiyilla jaan,
Aashritha valsala, anaatha rakshaka,
Ivalude vanamala sweekarikille nee,
Jeevatmavine swayamvarikille nee,
Vanamali…Vanamali,
Ee jeevatmavine swayavarikille nee.
Vanamali…Vanamali
Engine varum nee?
