ASHTAPADI - PASHYATHI DISHI DISHI

The 12th ashtapadi from Gitagovindam that talks about Radha’s state of mind , through her Sakhi who knows the pangs of her heart.The sakhi goes to The Lord, and explains Radha’s state of mind. Radha is in a state of hallucination where all she sees is Krishna. She decorates herself mindlessly in a way that she looks like krishna and addresses herself as The Lord. she steps out the bower and she sees the pitch-black cloudlike darkness, and thinking that Krishna drew her closer, she hugs and kisses that darkness. She slithers all her dignity and self respect as she calls out his name aloud. The 12th ashtapadi from Gitagovindam , Pashyathi dishi dishi, choreography by Smt. Bragha Bussell
