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 Nerur S.
