About the Book

Listen Radhika (Suno Radhika), a conversation between the eternal lovers Lord Krishna and Radha, transcends the traditional perspective and focuses upon modern-day problems and concerns like feminism, women’s issues, the political discourse etc. This long poem by Madhav Kaushik carries the profound message of Shri Krishna, that celebrates the all-encompassing force of love, imparts significant life-lessons, and raises vital questions about the status and identity of women. It compels the reader to ponder over various facets of spirituality and philosophy, bringing home the relevance of the Mahabharata in contemporary times, in fact at all times. A subject of research and a part of the curriculum at postgraduate level at many universities, this poem has been translated into different Indian languages. Deeply steeped in the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata, its history and mythology, Listen Radhika encapsulates the great social vision and original thought of Shri Krishna in its varied nuances.
