U.Ve. Swami Vasudevan:
Excellent presentation. I thought Jayadeva, OVK,
Narayanatheertha, and Meera are the ones that had
vision of Lord Krishna. The more I read your e-mail, I
feel that you are completely dissolved in Krishna
Bakthi.
I got your e-mail attaching a lengthy narrative
inclluding other Narayanatheertha keerthana
"Govardhana Giri Dhaara, Gokula". I have gone thro two
times but I don't think you explained that keerthana
as you did in the unermentioned krithi. Could you
check whether I missed your vyakyanam. Otherwise you
can include that in your continuation posting. Thank
you once again.
Adiyaen
