(c. 1534-1619 AD), A Muslim-born, ecstatic Krishna follower, offers in verse a glimpse into God’s Playground, inspiring us to find our own path to that divine realm. The entrancing rhyme and alliteration of his village vernacular of Vrajabhasha-witty, elegant, and delightful just to hear, take us in just four lines to total grace-filled liberation! His poems are a testament to a love and a Beloved that know no limits. Rasakhan sees Krishna during the day, playing the flute and herding cows through the forest. At night, he envisions Him as the Gopis’ lover in the leafy bowers of Vrindavan. He leads us from Child Krishna’s adorable antics to Krishna’s ultimate union with the beautiful Radha. Join this poet-bhakta on a pilgrimage to the Treasure House of Love Shyamdas and Dr. David Haberman, above, enjoy a moment at Apsara Kund by the Govardhan Hill. Krishna Kinkari (shown below at Mansarovar, near Vrindavan) lives in London, from where she yearns for the sacred land of Vraja depicted in the poetry of Rasakhan.
