Charming Krishna: Madhurastakam by Sri Vallabhacharya

Charming Krishna pairs Sri Vallabhacharya’s Madhurastakam, a devotional hymn on Krishna’s sweetness, with paintings by Rozalia “Radhika Priya.” Her images draw on the Nathadvara painting tradition and portray devotional themes through color, setting and the figures of Krishna and Radha.

Published by B.R. Publishing Corporation, the volume includes an English version of the hymn, introductory essays and the artist’s commentaries on her paintings. It is an illustrated work of devotional art, not simply a pocket edition of the hymn.
