The shringara rasa of Krishna or the sensual and romantic love of Krishna finds a textual basis for the first time in the ninth century Bhagavata Purana. From then for a thousand years, poets and potters, chitrakars and sangeetkars, have celebrated this love in their artistic expressions. This book is a select compilation of these songs from the Bhagavata Purana, Narsinh Mehta, Vidyapati, Banmali Das, Rasa Khan, Nawab Wajid Ali Shah and Tagore. Each of these poets are touched by the sheer sensuality of the love of Krishna for the gopis and Radha and have expressed it in sonorous and mellifluous words. For the first time these poetic treasures have been transformed into gem like miniature paintings, so that one can resonate with the other. Krishna’s message of madhurya is both shravya and drishya (heard and seen) in this book.
