About this listen

 Who was Radha, and why has she captured the imagination of so many writers across centuries? No other goddess combines the elements of bhakti and shringara quite as exquisitely as the divine milkmaid. She spans a vivid rainbow of imagery-from the playfulness of the Ras Lila to the soulfulness of her undying love, from the mystic allure of her depictions in poetry, art and sculpture to her enduring legacy in Vrindavan. In a way that sets her apart from other female consorts, Radha is idealized and dreamed of in a way that is almost more elemental than mythical.

Namita Gokhale and Malashri Lal, who brought us In Search of Sita: Revisiting Mythology, now present an anthology on the mysterious Radha, the epitome of love, who defies all conventional codes yet transcends social prohibitions through the power of the spiritual and the sensual, the sacred and the erotic. Finding Radha is the first of its kind: a collection of poetry, prose and translation that enter the historical as well as the artistic dimensions of the eternal romance of Radha and Krishna.

the thesis on emergence and existence of Radha as a character of Indian Mythology is appreciable but the myopic view and non continuity of thought is not. no structuring in the composition. please observe deeply the great works that are the basis of this study. And try to stitch together the parts better.
moreover the blunt readings are full of mistakes and unashamed redo's which further leave a bad taste in mouth.
had to leave it midway

bad reading. zero editing. multiple mistakes.
