NOTES

In his book RadhaKrsna Sunil Gangopadhyay did not treat Krsna and Radha as god and goddess. He described them as common ordinary human just like us. His description of the love between Radha and Krsna therefore had sensual connotations following the custom of many literary publications of the past like Jayadeva's 'Gitagovinda' and many Padabali Kirtanas. However, we have to remember that Krsna is the 'Param Brahma' that is the Supreme Spirit as defined in the Hindu Dharma Shastras. Shrimati Radha is his consort or his 'Shakti' that is power. The 'Prema' that is love between them is devotional and spiritual love. Krsna and Radha's devotional love plays are the 'Rasa Lila' of Bhagavan Shri Krsna and his 'Shakti' Radha
