radha dan krishna

yang tertinggal dari perjalanan di india lima tahun lalu: kisah cinta radha dan krishna. lukisan-lukisan mereka sangat indah. dan saya terkesan melihatnya.
saya bertanya: mengapa tubuh krishna diwarnai biru?
dijawab: sebab krishna lahir pada waktu bulan purnama.

sampai sekarang saya belum tahu apa kaitan bulan purnama dengan birunya kulit krishna.
namun yang jelas saya tahu, bulan purnama selalu membuat biru hatiku... feeling blue.

She looks at her lover
And blushes with a smile.
She murmurs softly
In all the many ways of love
Lost in its bliss.

Her body shudders and trembles.
Her passion blossoms
With sighs and eyes closing.
~ Gitagovinda (circa 12th century)

The Sanskrit classic, Gitagovinda (Songs of Govinda) was written by Jayadeva in the twelfth century AD. Apart from its intrinsic literary merit, which is of an exceptionally high order, the Gitagovinda is of special importance for its path-breaking deification of the love of Radha and Krishna.
