Jayadeva's Geeta Govinda - A Love Song 11 Comments

Hi Geeta, This song from Geeta Govinda conveys the intense passion of Krishna _(RadheShyam) for his beloved. You have captured the eagerness of Krishna to be united with Radha, his passion for her and her's for him too. Great work.. Translation is a very difficult job; especially when it is Geeta Govinda.. But you have done it well..

Your tinkling anklets betrays your presence, Remove them and hold it in your hands, Lest your enemies watch you, Disguise yourself in dark clothes, And walk silently in the dense forest.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Such a heart-pounding romantic image... the poem shimmers with them and makes us feel attractive and desirable and yearning- - - ] Oh lotus-eyed Radhe, loosen your pretty garments And prepare yourself for love's intense play, Krishna is starved of your intoxicating passion.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - GULP! ! ! ! Beautiful! ! ! ! !

Krishna with attractive dress waits his beloved Radha in previous rendezvous sending message to Sakhi. What does Sakhi say? Let it be quoted.. .. . The Sakhi says, Oh Radhe, Krishna is love sick and he madly desires your embrace. Krishna dressed most attractively, Having mastered the art of love, Even better than Kama-the God of love, Awaits you with intense passion! Says Sakhi to Radha: Go to the forest near Kalindhi river, Where Krishna with his tender hands, Spectacular with a garland of forest flowers, Awaits you in eagerness and great expectation! Most pleasant expression from sanskrit to engilish language, you have made, dear Dr. Geeta madam, on love. Interesting to read. Thanks for sharing.
