A Portrait of Lord Shree Krishna

<p>Written in 1532 CE the same period as Martin Luther and just prior to colonial rule in India <em>A Portrait of Lord Shree</em> <em>Krishna</em>(for which the Sanskrit is <em>Vidagdha Madhava</em>) is a romantic drama retelling the youth-hood of Lord Shree Krishna the favourite divinity of the Indian sub-continent who lived in Uttar Pradesh c. 1000 BCE or earlier.</p><p><br></p><p>The dominant theme of the drama whilst unorthodox gives a clear vision of the dramatic power-play between fabulous blue-blackish Shree Krishna and the fabulous cowherd girls of His village. The give and take is shared but predisposes in favour of the cowherd girls. Krishna is a great hero defending His kingdom against formidable antagonists but He Himself is governed by the love of Shrimati Radharani. Radharani's epithet Madana-mohanamohini lauds Her as the 'Enchantress of the enchanter of Cupid.' The narrative comprises a timeless exposition of power-sharing among genders.</p><p><br></p><p>For more information visit author's website: www.arjundasadhikari.com</p>
