Crush me with your hard breasts, entwine me in your vine like arms
bite me with your merciless teeth
inflict upon me, O beautiful one,
any punishment that you wish
and be happy.

----------------Gitagovinda (circa 12th century AD)

Krishna was physically irresistibly appealing. Ancient texts dwell at length on his exceptionally alluring countenance: a blue complexion soft like the monsoon cloud, shining locks of black hair framing a beautifully chiselled face, large lotus like eyes, wild -flower garlands around his neck, a yellow garment (pitambara) draped around his body, a crown of peacock feathers on his head, and a smile playing on his lips, it is in this manner that he is faithfully represented since the ancient times to the modern.

In the embrace of Krishna, Radha, maddened with desire, found refuge; in her love dalliance with him who was the master in all the sixty-four arts of love, she felt a thrill indescribable; and in making love with him in that climatic moment of release, in that one binding moment, she felt that joy and fulfilment which could not but be an aspect of the divine. Through her experience, thus, the erotic the carnal and the profane became but an aspect of the sublime, the spiritual and the divine. This cumulative myth sustained one basic point: for women, Krishna was a personal god, always accessible and unfailingly responsive. He was a god specially made for women. In the popular psyche, Krishna and Radha became the universal symbol for the lover and the beloved. Krishna was the ideal hero, and Radha the ideal heroine.
