Gaurav Kumar answered |
The article explains that by the sixteenth century, Vaishvanism in the cults of Rama and Krishna had become popular in many parts of western, northern and central India as part of the Bhakti movement. Krishna, in particular, had a special appeal as he was not only worshipped as God but also as an ideal lover. The notion of love was cherished as a religious theme, where a delightful synthesis of sensuousness and mysticism was perceived. The soul's devotion to the deity is pictured by Radha's self-abandonment to her beloved Krishna, which is epitomized in Gita Govinda paintings.
