KRISHNA: A Journey Within Paperback – December 18, 2012

I purchased this book because I liked some of the artwork I saw from excerpts. It did not disappoint. Singh’s illustrations could be blown up and framed as art pieces. And the story is well written also - a hauntingly spiritual journey through Krishna’s life. We experience not only his power and splendor, but also his pain and sadness. Well worth the purchase.

I bought this book because it looked interesting on the surface. Boy I'm glad I did. This is one fantastic graphic novel, if only for the art. The artist is extremely talented, and his style is a cross between Indian painting and 1980's Disney Animation (Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin). But this book isn't just all art. The story of Krishna, the 8th Avatar of Vishnu, is extremely well told and easy to follow. It is done in a way that is grand and mythological, yet also respectful of the Hindu religion. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in art, animation, or just a well told story.

This book by Singh is one of the most beautiful works I have ever seen. Telling the story of Krishna through the eyes of the deity himself at the end of his life, each page is a unique and beautiful illustration. The story is easy to follow, and the art lends itself to the telling of the tale. The book has a sad ending, but it is poignant if you know anything about the myth of Krishna. I would recommend this for everyone except for children under the age of 13, as there is some violence and subject matter that may be difficult for young children to understand.

Purchased this as a gift for a dear mentor and casually opened it upon arrival. Proceeded to sit down for some hours and read the entire thing, while my soul savored every bit! It is BEAUTIFUL. Exquisite. A fresh and accessible (but not simplified) exploration of an ancient deity and the universal truths that his experiences with humanity are meant to represent. I was exhausted when I returned home and started reading this and now I feel energized. Buy this for yourself and as a gift for special people because the act of giving something so lovely to another is powerful and surely won't be forgotten! The art is all it seems to be and much more, the writing poetic. That what accomplishes saying much with few words is the highest feat. A treasure.

Undoubted, This is a master piece from Abhishek Singh. His ingenuity and creativity is at its best in the book. Each page is priceless,I like his work of art, which fuses between traditional mythological art to modern day illustration. Simply amazing.I strongly recommend this work of art deserves to be printed in a much larger size format.

I was not sure what to expect with this book. Once I started reading it, the story was told beautifully with words and graphic depictions. Very pretty and easy to read.

Great way to keep kids engaged with story. I love the comic book aspect of it. The illustration is awesome.

Beautiful artwork, durable pages, and a great story to boot! Quickly becoming one of my favorite books on my bookshelf.

Stunning book! Very creative

Es un libro/comic, hecho de buen material y con buenos dibujos.Me ha parecido original en tanto a los dibujos, pues tienen un estilo propio muy característico del dibujante.Es flexible y resistente.Destaca su colorido.

Simply Incredible. The most beautiful visionary journey with Krishna. The artwork is breathtaking.

サンプル画像のイメージのまま、美麗なカートゥーン漫画です。クリシュナ出生から、カンサ王討伐、マハーバーラタ、そしてクリシュナの死までをフルに描いています。電子で購入したのですが、あまりに絵柄が綺麗なので、冊子も購入しました♪

What an amazing epic, visual feast to delight the eye. It's not able to explain every single part of Krishna's life but what it does do is stimulate an interest in knowing more about the lord in his eighth avatar as Krishna. Beautiful for anyone who loves God and anyone who loves the graphic novel.
