Written in 1532 CE, the same period as Martin Luther, and just prior to colonial rule in India, A Portrait of Lord Shree Krishna,(for which the Sanskrit is Vidagdha Madhava) is a romantic drama, retelling the youth-hood of Lord Shree Krishna, the favourite divinity of the Indian sub-continent, who lived in Uttar Pradesh c. 1000 BCE, or earlier.The dominant theme of the drama, whilst unorthodox, gives a clear vision of the dramatic power-play between fabulous blue-blackish Shree Krishna, and the fabulous cowherd girls of His village. The give and take is shared, but predisposes in favour of the cowherd girls. Krishna is a great hero, defending His kingdom against formidable antagonists, but He Himself is governed by the love of Shrimati Radharani. Radharani's epithet Madana-mohanamohini, lauds Her as the 'Enchantress of the enchanter of Cupid.' The narrative comprises a timeless exposition of power-sharing among genders.For more information, visit author's website: www.arjundasadhikari.com

LISTEN WITH YOUR EYES AND SPEAK WITH YOUR HEART,The caged Serpent must be disciplined for a lifetime,The proud Lion must be tamed from the ego. WE ARE ALL fires that must be lit,To enjoy what is, one must experience what is not.BE AND NOT SEEM .THAT IS THE QUESTION.

The modern-day Church history is plagued by countless men and women who arrived and then suddenly disappeared. They subtly substituted Jesus Christ, resulting in the world's patterns and opinions consuming them. From prophets, evangelists, revivalists, athletes, politicians to layman. Some rose in prominence becoming superstars, enigmas and one era wonders. These became obsessed with self, were inordinately ambitious, and were captivated by people's perceptions, promotions, plaudits, and praises. Others got intimidated, became disillusioned, and then turned to seclusion and solitude, leaving no footprints. As a result of this mutation in the early Church DNA, confusion, chaos, a lack of identity, and diminished power, have become inherent and widespread within the Church. Today, we draw a line!The Church - God's beacon on earth, is supposed to grow, to mature, to flourish and occupy until Jesus Christ returns [Luke 18: 8b]. With Jesus at the very core, the Church must grow generationally and build eternally. Every successive generation is supposed grow from faith to faith; to remain humble, love more, be wiser, stronger, and more acquainted with the Holy Spirit. A paradigm shift is essential. Now think continuity, legacy, and inheritance, and then trigger an eternal domino effect. About the author.Born again in September 1996, Thabani Nyoni continues to faithfully serve in God's House. He is a Spirit filled believer with a passion for teaching God's Word. Thabani desires to see the Church mature and be fully formed into the image of Jesus Christ.
