Radha was five years elder to Krishna. That's why she could not marry him, they say. Another reason was that he was a prince and she felt that she was just a cowherd, though Krishna never felt like that. One more reason was that she witnessed some of his miracles right before her eyes and she considered him as a God. She worshipped him in her mind, so she could not develop mundane love. Nevertheless, their love was beyond these limitations, they were soul mates in many of their previous life times like Sita Rama or Lakshmi Narayana. Krishna left Vrindavan to Kill Kamsa at Mathura, when he was just ten, never to return again. Radha married Ayan alias Abhimanyu, gave birth to a son called Shon...

Through the lenses of art and asana, this book presents stories and images from the Ramayana, the epic narrative of the life of Rama, one of the most beloved aspects of the divine in all of Indian history. As a parable of the spiritual journey, the Ramayana is a story about the division between distracted consciousness and the Self, and a guide to what we must do to reunite with our own inner Self. Each of us has our individual path to the divine, and an inner Ramayana unfolds in each of us. In the hands of Zo Newell, an accomplished practitioner and religious scholar, the story of Rama and his abducted wife, Sita, reveals elements of the human psyche; and with images and selected asanas, we are invited to experience the age-old journey to wholeness. "It is my hope that the stories and practices in this book will speak to you through your body and your senses as well as your mind, and allow you a glimpse of their reality."
Radha and Krishna have been worshipped as a couple for so many ages. Despite this, why is Rãdhã not listed as one of Krishna’s 16,000 wives? There are many unasked and unanswered questions about the relationship of Rãdhã and Krishna. Due to many myths and folklore, the divine relationship is mistaken as unethical.

Plant diseases play an important role on our daily lives. Most of plant diseases are visible and are caused by biotic and/or abiotic factors. Symptoms are usually the results of a morphological change, alteration or damage to plant tissue and/or cells due to an interference of the plant’s metabolism. All basic structures of vascular plants are subject to attack by pathogens. The failure in accurate disease diagnosis and management may lead to huge losses in plant production and related commodities, which causes nutritional food scarcity. Typically, the appearance of a biotic symptom will indicate the relatively late stage of an infection and/or colonization of a pathogen. Expert detection, accurate diagnosis, and timely management play a significant role in keeping plants free from pathogens. In this book expert scholars share their research knowledge and key literature which are vital toward the diagnosis of plant diseases across the globe, addressing traditional plant pathology techniques, as well as advanced molecular diagnostic approach.

Who was Radha, and why has she captured the imagination of so many writers across centuries? No other goddess combines the elements of bhakti and shringara quite as exquisitely as the divine milkmaid. She spans a vivid rainbow of imagery-from the playfulness of the Ras Lila to the soulfulness of her undying love, from the mystic allure of her depictions in poetry, art and sculpture to her enduring legacy in Vrindavan. In a way that sets her apart from other female consorts, Radha is idealized and dreamed of in a way that is almost more elemental than mythical. Namita Gokhale and Malashri Lal, who brought us In Search of Sita: Revisiting Mythology, now present an anthology on the mysterious Radha, the epitome of love, who defies all conventional codes yet transcends social prohibitions through the power of the spiritual and the sensual, the sacred and the erotic. Finding Radha is the first of its kind: a collection of poetry, prose and translation that enter the historical as well as the artistic dimensions of the eternal romance of Radha and Krishna.
