“Krishna is one of the most beloved and interesting Gods in the Hindu pantheon. Literature,

Architecture, Dance, Music, Poetry, Sculpture...visions of Krishna everywhere! Can one make Krishna

into a belief or a concept? Can one hold Krishna as something fixed and static? Can Krishna be of any gender, class or faith? To me Krishna is the ever flowing river, the unquenchable flame, LIFE itself.”

- Aditi Mangaldas

Krishna, Achyuta, Manohar, Muralidhar, Vasudev, Anant!

Krishna, can you be all this and more? Who thought of you, Krishna? Whose imagination are you? Is

imagination greater than you?

Chakradhari, Giridhari, Achal, Anirudha, Keshava, Gopinath!

You are immeasurable, greater than any man, woman or even God!

Parabramha, Parathasarathi, Achal, Vishwakarma, Niranjan!

You are breath, always be at the edge of my being!

You are the journey, lead me through the vagaries of time!

You are passion and abandon, let me partake of all that you offer! You are LIFE, engulf me!”

Part 1: The inspiration is from the 108 names of Krishna. How can any man, woman or even God be

all this and more? Krishna, you can only be all this if you are ‘life’ itself.

Part 2: You are ‘life’ Krishna. You are the ‘breath’ that governs ‘life’, so always be near me or at least

at the edge of my being. Losing sight of you is like losing my ability to breathe, losing ‘life’ itself.

Part 3: Krishna, you are omnipresent, just like ‘life’ you surround me. You are the journey, take me

through the vagaries of time.

Seeking The Beloved: (Extract)

Through the poetry of Sant Kabir...

Ah, the fragility of life, this finely woven delicate tapestry of life!

Oh Lord, what thread have you used to weave this complex and intricate tapestry? That is drenched

and immersed in you and that I return as is!

Music Composition: Drishtikon repertory
