It was Janmashtaami yesterday and thought of a book that my late brother had recommended to me called 'Krishna nu jeevan sangeet'. I wondered who had written it and did an internet search and discovered this blog and that his favourite author wrote the book. Unlike my brother, my Gujarati is not fantastic and wondered if I can read the English translation. Is there an English version of this book and if so where would I get it from. Chandrika Joshi
