INTRODUCTION

Our religious books play a vital role in the upliftment of our society and its cultural values. The Veda's. The Ram ayana, The Gita. The Puranas and The M ahabharata etc are all our holy scriptures, which have guided us in the evolution of our society since times immemorial. Only a religious minded person can stop himself from committing sins, because he knows that God is omni-present and He is always there to watch his acts. The above mentioned books make every reader religious minded. It doesn't mean that a religious person becom es a coward. He is only scared to do an anti-social and irrespectable deed. All the religious books mentioned above guide us in this direction.

We have tried to transform these big epics in a small and easy Quiz-format by which one can learn about our epics in a playful manner. This particular book contains the objective type questions on the life story of Shri Krishna.

This 'Hinduism Quiz Shri Krishna Leela' appeases the curiosity about the life of Shri Krishna in an interesting manner. To know the detailed answers of this Quiz series, please read ‘Shri Krishna Leela' published by Dreamland Publications. We would like to welcome any constructive suggestions in order to make the series more useful and more interesting to one and all.
