"So tell me about this Krishna character," he said.
"Krishna is also known as Krsna or Hari Krishna. Krishna is a major Hindu god and considered the eighth incarnation of Vishnu. He is perhaps the most popular of all the heroes of Hindu mythology. Krishna's adventures are recounted in the mahabharata, the Bhagavad. Gita, the Harivamsa, and the sacred collection of known as the Puranas where Krishna is described as the Supreme Being and creator of the universe. The most ancient tales of Krishna involve his adventures with the Pandava princes whilst later, the stories accumulated over the centuries which describe his youth, when Krishna used his proficient weapons skills to good effect to defeat a host of fearsome enemies, demons and monsters. According to tradition Krishna belonged to the Yadava, a pastoral race. and the god's birth is picturesquely described in the Mahabharata. One day Vishnu, the great Hindu god pulled two hairs from his own head, one white and one black. The black hair was planted into the womb of Devaki, a princess of the city of Mathura, and so Krishna was born into the Pandava family, his earthly father being Vasudeva. Unfortunately for Krishna his mother's brother, Kamsa, had been warned that Devaki's eighth child would kill him, and so Kamsa determined to murder the eighth child, a crime he had already carried out seven times before Krishna was born. Fortunately, Vasudeva took the precaution of hiding Krishna in the remote village of Vrindavana where the boy was brought up as a simple cowherd in this guise he can be referred to as Govinda. There he spent an idyllic childhood and stirred the hearts of many gopis or herd women with his dark good looks, playful charm, and mastery of music and dance. Krishna is both a god disguised as a mortal and a prince disguised as a commoner. The myths contain many metaphors of disguise, such as a spark within a pile of ashes or a mighty sword in its scabbard, and these hint at Krishna's dual purpose as the punisher of human deeds but also as a bringer of enlightenment.
Krishna's foster parents at Vrindavana were Nanda and Yashoda, his sister is Subhadra, and his brother Balarama. Krishna's favourite wife was Radha, with whom he had a son Pradyumna and daughter Carumati, but tradition has it that the god actually acquired 16,108 wives and fathered 180,000 sons. Queen Rukmini, an earthly form of the goddess Lakshmi, is considered Krishna's second most favoured wife after Radha. Krishna was involved in many escapades in his adventurous youth. Notable amongst these are his various killings and thrashings of prominent enemies such as the ogress Putana, the giant bull danava, the giant snake Kaliya, and the king of the Hayas horses. Also swiftly dealt with was the scheming tyrant Kamsa after whose beheading Krishna established himself as king of Mathura. Krishna slew many demons: Muru and his 7,000 sons, Pralamba who Krishna beat up using only his fists, Naraka son of the Earth and who had accumulated a harem of 16,000 captured women..." Interrupted.
"Damn," he said.
"Yeah, and the sea-demon Pancajana who looked like a conch shell and who lost his magic shell to Krishna which the hero carried thereafter and used as a trumpet. Krishna also found time to lift the mountain Govardhana to foil a terrible deluge sent by Indra, to conquer Saubha, the floating city of the Titans daityas, got the better of the sea-god Varuna, and even managed to steal the divine discuss possessed by the fire-god Agni. Against mere mortals Krishna also wreaked havoc amongst the Gandharas, Bhojas, and Kalingas, amongst others. Krishna acted as the warrior-prince Arjuna's charioteer in the Great War, the Battle of Kurukshetra, between the Pandavas whom Krishna supported and the Kauravas. It was on the eve of this battle that Krishna recounted the sacred song of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna. Within, Lord Krishna highlights that the self is quite separate from the body and continues throughout time: 'Never was there a time I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future, shall any of us cease to exist' Bhagavad Gita. It is in the Bhagavad Gita that Krishna also states that 'All this universe has been created by me; all things exist in me. Arjuna, in the same work, tells us that Krishna is 'divine, prior to the gods, unborn, omnipresent.
In other adventures Krishna built the great fortress city of Dvaraka in Gujarat, known as the city of Gates. Seven days after Krishna was accidentally killed by a hunter's arrow striking his heel, Dvaraka was submerged beneath the ocean. Krishna had also stolen the sacred Parijata tree from Indra, defeating the god in the process. Krishna planted the tree at Dvaraka, but upon his death it was returned to Indra."
"Damn babe, how do you know so much?" He asked.
"I read a lot, I can read all day," she said.
"My babe is smart and sexy on top of that," he said.
"Watch it babe, don't go there," she said.
"Why not? You're sexy, you the most sexiest Indian chick I know," he said.
"Chris, there isn't any other Indian chicks that go to your school or in the neighborhood except for me and my family, we are still new here, and I still feel new," she said.
Chris is really getting aroused by her smartness, intellect, and beauty. Since this year is their first year actually hanging out together and exploring. This is the quality time Chris always wanted to have with Mala. It is like Chris is falling in love all over again, and he is really trying to look past his sexual urges towards Mala, but it is quite challenging because most American boys are always exposed to sexual activities and Chris was exposed to it at a young age. Part of him sometimes feels like maybe Mala deserves someone of her own race. Like a much more charming Indian boy who is willing to wait to have sexual interactions until marriage. He feels like he is not the type of guy who just waits to perform. He has a sexual history of being with other girls, but Mala is really stimulating his sexual urges of undressing her with his eyes. He will try his best to keep it cool, or maybe he could pray his sexual urges away. Maybe Ganesha could take his urges away, he thinks. He do not want to ever get into rape mode ever again, and as far as he come to understand about rape, it is against the law to rape girls and women, and he do not want to spend his life in a prison cell. He wants to always just think the positive like Mala said.
"It's time for me get back home now," she said.
"Okay, let's go."
