Reading Notes- Epified: Krishna, Part B

I missed the Part B reading during the week so I'm making it up by finishing it and using it as extra credit.

I continued watching the videos for Part B and right off the bat I could tell the illustrator for these videos was someone else. The drawings were much for intense and in-depth which is great. I think that adds great detail to the story.

The one video I found very interesting was the The Savior of Dharma. This is the part of Krishna's story where he finds out who he really is from the family priest, Garg Acharya. Garg Acharya tells him that he can't marry Radha because his destiny was something else. Krishna finds out he is the savior of dharma in this world. He even finds out his birth parents are Yashoda and Nand. This made him so sad. He thought so much about his destiny and finally decided to accept it.

Another video I really liked was Krishna's Farewell. This is when Krishna and his brother Balram set out on their journey to fulfill Krishna's destiny. The people of Vindravan are initially really sad and try to convince him to stay back but he tells him that he can't stay back because he has a destiny that he cannot just ignore.

I really like that both of the videos had emotional moments in them. I've gotten really good at writing stories that have inner thoughts portrayed or a lot of dialogue so I think I could use one of these two parts as reference for a story.
