“Krishna – My Best Friend” is a new book written by Gourangi Gandharvika Devi Dasi and Acintyapriya Davi Dasi and published by the Congregational Development Ministry – Bhakti Kids. Their intention behind writing this book is to help children develop a personal connection with Krishna, viewing Him as their best friend rather than approaching Him only with awe and reverence.
At the heart of the Bhakti Kids project lies a grand vision—to create a comprehensive Krishna Consciousness curriculum that engages children between the ages of five and twelve. “Krishna- My Best Friend” is one of their endeavors that delves into fascinating details about Krishna, such as His pets, a glimpse into His daily life in Vrindavana, His friends, why He wears a peacock feather, and so much more to get to know Him. The captivating illustrations in the book appeal to children of all ages, and it includes a wide range of fun activities that cater to different interests, ensuring there’s something for every child.
We interviewed the co-author Gourangi who was happy to share some background to the book. During her own upbringing in Krishna consciousness, Gourangi was blessed with a beautiful childhood guided by her spiritual master, parents, and other devotees in her life. She said, “Since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to be a teacher, which led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in primary education. Now, equipped with these teachings and fueled by the inspiration derived from Krishna consciousness and the support and blessings of my spiritual master, teachers, parents, and Vaikuntha kids, my purpose in this life is to help children make a choice to be Krishna’s devotee and join the movement.”
