Gita Govinda

In this role he plays the Divine Beloved and she, the lover of God. Finally after this attraction, estrangement, longing, and help of reconciliation through a female confidant, in poetry that reaches perfection we are told of their Unification ­ her human love has because Divine and the divinity has spiritualized human love.

JAYADEVA was born in Bengal, India, late in the 12th Century A.D. to a poor Brahmin family and was orphaned at an early age, wandering in rags and singing songs to God. Soon he was having visions of Krishna which later led him to writing his greatest work, the GITA GOVINDA. He is considered a Master/Poet and Saint in India.

THE GITA GOVINDA


By JAYADEVA
Translated by Sir Edwin Arnold
 

The GITA GOVINDA is one of the world’s great mystical Love poems. In poetry, drama and song it tells the story of Krishna, the Divine Beloved, and his divine Consort Radha, and their love for each other. Both are depicted at various stages in the story as the Lover and the Beloved. Written in erotic/mystical language and imagery the GITA GOVINDA can be compared to the work of the Christian Mystics. In dramatic form the poem tells of the Love of Khrishna, the Divine cowherd, for his favourite among the gopis (wives and daughters of the cowherders).
