Govinda, Gopala. Many are the names of the blue god who descended upon Earth to live among humans and to guide them in their lives, as a charioteer, both metaphorically and physically. The Life and Times of Krishna: The Deity Who Lives As Man is book that tries to separate myth from historical fact, and yet again place the wielder of the Sudharshana Chakra in history. Summary of the Book J. B.
