He has gone to another village and married another girl. He is not coming back here. Please, why don't You give up thinking of Him? At the time that They asked Her, Radhika was almost half dead in separation from Krsna. However, hearing Her sakhis say His name revived Her. She then picked up art materials close at hand and began to draw His picture. As She drew She sang this song, each part of His Body elicited a feeling in Her and She described it with Her portrait of Him and by Her singing. This is one of the sweetest songs in the entire world. As far as I know there are two versions of tunes: one very heavy in separation mode and one lighter and happier. This pastime was revealed in the heart of the composer who then recorded it so that we can be here on the internet today discussing it.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 The Madhurasthakam is composed by Vallabhacharya (1479-1531). He is one of the greatest sage- philosophers of India, who belonged to a Telugu Brahmin family. He was one of the foremost followers of Bhakthi Marga and established his philosophy of Pushti Marga in North India during the 16th century. This is a unique stotra which uses just one adjective, "madhuram", meaning sweet or beautiful, to describe the greatness and the attributes of lord Krishna.
