About the book
How often have you been advised to follow the teachings of Krishna but wondered what those teachings were? This book brings forth eleven of the most important lessons delivered by Krishna at critical junctures in the Mahabharata. These practical lessons are different from the spiritual wisdom imparted to Arjuna in the celebrated Bhagavad-Gita. Krishna’s role in the Mahabharata is not just as a knower of dharma (dharmajna) but also as its upholder and institutor (dharma-samsthapaka). Therefore, unlike other great works on niti, Krishna’s instructions are not theoretical but have an immediate relation to the situation at hand. In Krishna-Niti: Timeless Strategic Wisdom, the authors draw upon their extensive research into the Mahabharata to present a unique gem of nitishastra that is distilled from the quintessential Itihasa of India. They analyse Krishna’s practical wisdom through his interventions on numerous occasions. Rooted in the vision of the epic, the book paints the authentic picture of Krishna as a statesman—an enduring image that is deeply relevant to our times.
Book features
Compilation and English translation of 300 verses containing instructions on Niti by Krishna in the Mahabharata
Topics include conduct, practical life, morality, policy, governance, and law
Original verses presented in both Devanagari and IAST for ease of readers
