Love & War~ May 31

Radha & Krishna: Love

Radha, daughter of Vrishabhanu, was the mistress of Krishna during that period of his life when he lived among the cowherds of Vrindavan…So great was Radha’s love for Krishna that even today her name is uttered whenever Krishna is referred to, and Krishna worship is thought to be incomplete without the deification of Radha. ~ https://www.learnreligions.com/love-stories-from-hindu-literature-1770571

In many paintings (2003.178a), the divine couple is presented within a fertile, flowering landscape filled with pairs of birds. ~ https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/rajp/hd_rajp.htm
