“In the Waves of Love”
120×85 cm – Oil on canvas – 2019
The painting “In the Waves of Love” is inspired by my japa in Radhakunda. The meditation I had on the Divine Couple spending time together in Radhakunda and Shyamakunda. Behind Them are two manjaris, hiding nearby the lotuses, always ready to be of assistance to Radha and Krishna.
It was a very sweet revelation once near my dear Guru Maharaja, H.H. Jayapataka Swami, that the manjaris are hiding in the water, near Radha Krishna.
