註釋
(Hinduism/Theology) It has been said that the subcontinent of India is inhabited not by Homo Sapiens Sapiens, but by Homo Sapiens Ludens, that is to say, not by humans who think but by humans who play. Vanamali's book gives us the mythic/religious context for such an idea; and for many who do not know the whole Krishna narrative, hers is a welcome text. Advent narratives are familiar to Western readers, but this adventure narrative the advent of Krishna some 5000 years ago moves what we may have seen as myth into Religious History. Krishna's biography is an exceptional introduction to the Indian worldview. This is going to become a classic text which opens many doors doors historical, cultural and spiritual.
