A great painstaking effort Ma'am by you to uplift the heritage of our country. Your poetic skill adds to the beauty and body of the poem. A huge 10+++ for it. Regards. Subhas
Subhas, , so nice to see you on this page after quite a while. Thank you so much for reading the poem and your generous comment. Stay blessed.
This expression is more beautiful than the lotus stems and more pure like rose and soft like lotus. Murari wins his Gopis with his ardent love is great. Devotion and love flow simultaneously. Beautifully and excellently penned poem is shared here is interesting epic poem based on perception of Jayadeva's Geeta Govinda...10
