Written in 1886, this was the first instance where the character of
Krishna is studied from a pragmatic and questioning perspective.
Like his novel Ananda Math, Krishna Charitra originates from Bankim
Chandra's passionate feeling of patriotism. He wanted to uphold Sri
Krishna as not just a mythological figure, but an ideal Indian
character, whom other Indians could look up to. Sri Aurobindo says,
Bankim Chandra poured over the Bhagavad Gita and the Vedas striving
to catch the deeper and sacred sense of those profound writings. To
give that to his countrymen was the strenuous aim of Krishna
Charitra.A" In this translation of Krishna Charitra, several
passages of Bankim's academic discussions have been omitted, so as
to make it easier for the common reader. Also deleted are the
criticisms on the European people that Bankim Chandra includes in
his book from time to time. Otherwise, the text strictly follows
the structure and the content of the original dissertation.
