  12. “Accompanied by the gopis, Krishna approached the bank of the

    river. Its cool sand was swept by a wind bearing the scent of kumuda flowers and refreshing from its contact with the waves. Arousing Kama in the young women of Vraj with jokes, smiles and glances, playfully scratching their breasts, girdles, thighs, hair and hands with his nails, and embracing them with outstretched arms, he gave them pleasure.” ~BHAGAVATA PURANA, BOOK 10, CH. 29 Thursday, February 28, 13
  13. “The gopis, [uttering] these crazed words, became perplexed in their

    search for Krishna. With their hearts [dedicated] to him, each of them imitated the lila of Bhagavan.” ~BHAGAVATA PURANA, BOOK 10, CH. 30 Thursday, February 28, 13

  15. “The senses of the women of Vraj were alive with

  17. She bristles with pain, sucks in breath, Cries, shudders, gasps,

    Broods deep, reels stammers, Falls, raises herself, the faints. When fevers of passion rage so high, A frail girl may live by your charm. If you feel sympathy Krishna, Play godly healer! Or Death may taker her. Thursday, February 28, 13
  18. After struggling through the night, She seemed wasted by the

    arrows of love. She denounced her lover bitterly As he bowed before her, pleading forgiveness. Thursday, February 28, 13

    sea of existence. Be yielding to me forever, My heart fervently pleads! Radha, cherished love, Abandon your baseless pride! Love’s fire burns my heart— Bring wine in your lotus mouth! Thursday, February 28, 13
  20. Displaying her passion In loveplay as the battle began, She

    launched a bold offensive Above him And triumphed over her lover. Her hips were still, Her vine-like arm was slack, Her chest was heaving, Her eyes were closed. Why does a mood of manly force Succeed for women in love? Thursday, February 28, 13
