Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda: a poem about the agony and separation of Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha

Abstract

Love is not merely an emotion but a potent feeling everyone desires to experience. When someone falls in love, they lose control over their feelings. Some individuals love selflessly, even without any hope for reciprocation. We all wait for someone who makes us feel unique and adds extraordinary value to our lives. However, love also demands sacrifices; sometimes, our love becomes the reason for someone's pain. In love, one should not be selfish and should not expect reciprocation from the other person. Love is unconditional and knows no bounds. "If someone does not love you, you do not have to convince them to love you back. True love comes naturally when you truly care for someone. Only when someone who loves you disappears from your life do you realise their importance? In contemporary times, everyone desires to be loved and to love in return. We are all lonely people who crave love and care. No one can love someone like Radha loved Lord Krishna. “Their love is everlasting and serves as an example of true love for future generations. Their love, respect, and care for each other cannot be matched. This paper will analyse the theme of love by examining the story of Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha and their love and sacrifice for each other."
