Radhakatha-Krishnakatha by Dilip Majumdar [Hardcover]

The love story of Radha and Krishna has permeated over a thousand years of Bengali literature, both in written works and in folk traditions. The proverb, "Kanu chhara geet nai" (There is no song without Kanai/Krishna), reflects the deep intertwining of love and devotion in this narrative. In this book, the essence of Krishna's and Radha's stories is presented alongside selections from ancient and medieval Bengali literature, including Jayadeva's Geetgovinda, Boro Chandidas’s Shreekrishnakirtan, Maladhar Basu’s Shrikrishnavijay, and the Vaishnav Padavali, which all beautifully capture the eternal love story of Radha and Krishna. The union of love and worship is seamlessly blended in these tales, offering a rich spiritual and literary journey through the ages.
