Gopikas
of Brindavan
40
x 30", acrylic on silk
"It
is said that the Gopikas of Brindavan were so full of bhakti
(devotion) that all they could think and see was Krishna. No matter
where they were, the sound of the cowherd's flute followed them and
the peacock feathers that adorned his crown seemed to float in the
air around them. So devoted they were to Krishna that they
completely identified with him and experienced the presence of the
Lord in everything. The Oriya poet Jayadeva immortalized their
divine love in his collection of poems called the 'GeethaGovindam'."
