think of God..

Many occasions..when hearing geethagovindam or Astapadi sung one by one with graphic enacting and the final union of Radha and Krishna...

the kalyaana ashtapadi in madhyamaavati..

radhaavadhana vilokana.राधावदन विलोकन .

I have felt and still feel the anklets of Radha and Madhava chiming in unison there..

After hearing that this mundane life is useless...

Any ashtapadi sung in devotion can send one into raptures...

priye charuseelee प्रिये चारुशीले,

rathisukhasaarey, रतिसुखसारे

sancharadhadhara सञ्चरदधर...

sritakamalakucha श्रितकमलाकुच...

saa virahee..साविरहे ..

Where else can you find anubhuthi.. of course when pithukuli murugadas sings Kandar anubhuthi..

aatum parivel..ஆடும் பரிவேல்.

varuvaay guhane..வருவாய் குகனே

there also one can get similar raptures..

If I had been swept off the earth by the beauty of my wife when I saw her for the first time almost three decade ago , I would have to put a wry face remembering that now...

Human beauty and love are ephemeral..

Nothing comes out of such love

except some children..

and many heartbreaks..
