Written by crucible on November 6, 2017
Fever FM, has pioneered the niche of radio dramas ever since the mega production of ‘Fever prastuti Ramayana’, gradually progressing to Gandhi and then Bose. The sound of music and creativity again came together to paint a picture of Lord Krishna as a kid in Fever FM’s radio drama ‘Baal Gopal’.
Krishna, also known as Bal Gopal, was fearless even as a child. His childhood has a number of stories that prove him to be very brave and also reveal his spiritual and divine powers. Most important among them are killing of the demoness Putana, sent by Kansa to kill infant Krishna by feeding him poisoned milk, Slaying of Kaliya Nag, the dreaded serpent etc.
Baal Gopal is known by many other names according to the characteristics he had and the feats he accomplished. He is known as “Makhan Chor” as he was fond of makhan (butter) and used to steal it with his friends. The incident of lifting Govardhan Mountain to save the people from rain made him famous as Girdhari, also known as Banwari – the one staying in the groves of Vrindavan.
Starting from Lord Krishna’s baal leela to Lord Krishna’s trivial stunts or leelayein.
Discovering the life of Baal Gopal, revealing his life’s magical moments, intelligent situations, his love of playing the flute, a kid who was naughty, cute, brave and lovable came to life only on Fever FM, as listeners grew closer to the famous godly-human ‘Baal Gopal’.
