Vignesh Kumar –
A truly unparalleled collaboration between two gifted artists Keshav and Smitha. Her explanations transform each painting into a living scripture. The detailing of birds, animals, symbolism, dance postures, and puranic characters shows immense depth. The way she weaves Sanskrit, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu literature into her writing is stunning.
Prashant –
The Universal Charmer stands as a divine bridge between ancient puranic tradition and thoughtful modern interpretation. The storytelling, the references to Bhagavata Mahapurana, the insights on Krishna’s leelas, and the artistic symbolism make this book something to cherish. It truly captures Krishna Anubhavam in a way that feels fresh, authentic, and transformative.

This book is a nectar filled journey into Krishna’s life, from Devaki’s midnight labour to Bala Leela, Gajendra Moksham, Rukmini Haranam, Tiruppavai, and Gitopadesha. Smitha’s ability to interpret Keshav’s paintings with shlokas, sahitya, and puranic references makes every page a deep dive into bhakti. A must-have for dancers, musicians, and spiritual seekers.

A rare fusion of scholarship, devotion, and artistic brilliance. The author’s deep understanding of Bhagavatam, combined with Keshav’s enchanting paintings, creates an experience that elevates the reader to bhakti and paramarthika perspectives. The references to saints, composers, and Acharyas make it a treasure for any student of Sanatana Dharma.
