Jayadev Offering Obeisances to Krsna
Dec 05, USA (SUN) — This month-long series explores text and manuscript illustrations from Gita-Govinda
Throughout the Gita-Govinda, Jayadev repeatedly glorifies Lord Krsna's transcendental pastimes. He shows Radha meditating upon Krsna's activities and telling her sakhis about them, in anticipation of seeing him again.
Many of Krsna's most famous Vrindavan lila exploits are mentioned in Gita-Govinda, along with pastimes of Visnu and Lord Shiva.
Below, we see a collection of these images from the Mukherjee Phad scroll.
