My second book on Krishna to not confuse it with the first is called Keshava: A Magnificent Obsession. Everyone who comes into contact with the deity, consciously or subconsciously- becomes consumed by him. He becomes the center of their universe. This happens with not just human beings but also other living creatures.

Everyone who comes into contact with Him believes that Lord Krishna loves them the most

Keshava: A Magnificent Obsession is the story of these special bindings, of eight breathing wonders of nature – the Peacock, the Flute, the Kadamba tree, the Lotus flower, the Tulsi plant, the Kamadhenu cow, the Conch and the Peepal tree.

Why and how are they associated with the deity and why do we continue to worship all of them over the centuries?
