by Chandru - Jul 3, 2021 02:35 AM Krishna with gopikas Snapshot Mahabharata is the most authentic literature to understand Krishna since its major portions were written by Krishna's contemporaries. What we see is that Mahabharata's Krishna is not a playboy. He is a statesman, philosopher, yoga master, moral compass, philanthropist, and social worker. But adultery is hard to find. In the recent Shiva Shankar Baba related developments in Tamil Nadu, one of the troubling facets is the accused's alleged attempt to exploit the females by projecting himself as Lord Krishna and turning the victims into Gopikas. For context, Shiva Shankar Baba is in judicial custody for his reported sexual advances against multiple women. A similar narrative was found during the alleged misconduct of the besmirched guru, Nityananda.
