Page 14-15, rough sketch from the double page spread illustration from the book, Gopal's Brother, by Sri Chinmoy. Sri Krishna, his cows and Gopal's cow are behind the fence, looking down over the valley with the school and village. Gopal is on the other side of the fence. The text reads, "So Rakhal Raja met Gopal and they went together to the school. When they came near the school building, Rakhal Raja said to Gopal, "Now you go on. I will come to take you home when school is over."

  • Illuminated manuscript-style illustration showing a turning point in the story from the Sri Chinmoy book, Gopal's Brother. The text reads: 'After a few months, Gopal's schoolteacher lost his mother. In India, when somebody dies, a festival is held at the end of the month. Everybody comes and has a feast. You eat as much as you can, and if you don't want to eat, they force you. So a month after the schoolteacher's mother died, there was a feast for the schoolchildren. Naturally, all the students were bringing presents to the teacher.'
