| Such is the charisma of the love-lore of Radha and Krishna...and such is its brilliance, that the name of their love...has become a sanctifying force for all contact between the sexes, sometimes also a cover for human prurience... The expression of Mira's love is very intimate in nature... Making use of erotic imagery...she is able to describe her pining for him, her quest for union with him... the devotion of Mirabai and Radha for Krishna show the oneness of eroticism and renunciation, and finally, the convergence of both into the omnipresent soul of Krishna in the form of single-minded love and devotion... |
