Reading Notes: Shri Krishna of Dwarka, Part A

Shri Krishna of Dwarka

from Shri Krishna of Dwarka and Other Stories by C.A. Kincaid.

I decided to do more Krishna readings for two reasons. The first being I know different people write the same story in their own version so I wanted to see how this version would be. And secondly, I wanted to write a second part to my last Krishna story so I'm hoping I found some more adventures of Krishna that I can write and incorporate into my own story. 

In Chapter 2: The Childhood of Krishna, there is a part where Yashoda was taking care of Krishna who had just a toddler at that point. She briefly leaves Krishna to go attend to the pot of milk that was boiling over inside their house. Krishna being left alone outside was furious. He overturns he milk that she had been churning and then he crawls inside, climbs on a pot and starts to eat the butter that Yashoda had been. 

• I really liked this scene because in my last story about Krishna, I gave him the power of telekinesis. I feel like if I decide to write a part two to that story, I could have a flashback scene of this exact moment. Instead of him overturning the milk with his hands, I could have him do it with his mind but he wouldn't know that he's doing it. Same with him climbing on the pot and eating the butter. He could get the pot of butter to him instead of climbing on another pot to get to it.
