what better love can the world experience than the love among the divine manifestation of the almighty as lord Krishna and the love of the milkmaids of vrindavan? the supreme soul sings and dances and plays his divine flute, hypnotizing the hard working rural ladies to sing and dance to his amorous, yet efficiently elegant and subtle tunes...the cows, the birds, the cowherds and the milkmaids...no one had respite, and none wanted it either. the following pictures depict my version of the ethereal play, rendered still, yet blissful, on a chart paper, drawn as usual, with a pattachitra (palm leaf painting) style of indigenous art :)
