Kṛṣṇa Krīḍā – The Art of Engaging Children’s Playful Attitude in Devotion
Author: Bharath Chandra Dasa
Format: Hardbound | Illustrated | Devotional Parenting Guide
“Kṛṣṇa Krīḍā” explores one of the 64 traditional Indian arts—Bāla-krīḍanakāni, or the art of children’s play—and how it can become a powerful tool to cultivate devotional service from early childhood. Children naturally love to play, and Lord Kṛṣṇa’s own playful pastimes offer a spiritually potent foundation to redirect this instinct toward bhakti-yoga.
This unique book delves into:
🧠 The psychology of children across different age groups
📖 How sambandha (relationship), abhidheya (practice), and prayojana (goal) can be realized in childhood
🎲 Detailed descriptions of games Kṛṣṇa played with His cowherd friends
👑 Insights into how King Parīkṣit also played in divine remembrance of Kṛṣṇa
🌸 Strategies to raise children from playful engagement to ruci, āsakti, and ultimately prema (pure love for God)
With authentic references from ācāryas, Purāṇas, and smṛti texts, this book equips parents, teachers, and spiritual educators with practical guidance to nurture loving devotion through play, joy, and story-based interaction.
