101 Stories of Lord Krishna
Timeless Tales of Divine Love, Wisdom, Courage, Dharma, and the Lessons Krishna Still Teaches Us Today
From Krishna's birth in Mathura to the battlefield of Kurukshetra — 101 stories of divine love, friendship, courage and dharma.
101 Stories of Lord Krishna is a mythology collection by Indian author Parvind Kumar that follows Krishna's journey from his birth in Mathura and childhood in Vrindavan to the battlefield of Kurukshetra and the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. It travels through his playful childhood, his bond with Radha and the gopis, the lifting of Govardhan Hill, his friendship with Sudama, and his role as Arjuna's charioteer.
The collection presents Krishna as a genuinely multifaceted figure — mischievous child, devoted friend, strategic leader, and spiritual teacher — and asks what each story still offers today: courage in fear, humility in success, and faith when the path ahead is uncertain.
