Shreekrishna Kirtana Kabya (শ্রীকৃষ্ণকীর্তন কাব্য) or Sri Krishna Kirtana Kabya is a pastoral Vaishnava drama in verse composed by Boru Chandidas. It is considered to be the most significant work after Charyapada in the history of Bengali literature . These verses are believed to be written in the pre-Chaitanya era of the later half of 14th century CE. Sri Krishna Kirtana consists of 417 Bengali padas (verses) and 133 (total 161, 28 shlokas are repeated twice) Sanskrit shlokas, which were also probably composed by the poet.


The Krishna-Radha love story is legendary. Radha feels jealous of all the other gopis of Vrindavan to whom Krishna pays attention. But Krishna tells her: "Radhe, do you not know that you are the love of my life? My flute only vibrates to your sweet name. No other sound comes out from my flute. Only, Radhe, Radhe..." Radhakrishna represents the unique union of the Goddess-gopi Radha and her beloved Krishna, two highly revered deities in the Hindu Vaishnavite tradition. Radhakrishna is not any romantic relationship or simply the combination of the feminine and the masculine: it symbolizes the soul seeking the Divine Love. All legends in India have a deep spiritual significance: the war of Kurukshetra symbolizes the inner battle against our dark side; The same applies to the relationship between Radha and Krishna, which can not be reduced to a romantic relationship between a man and a woman:Radhakrishna relationship is considered the highest form of love, the divine love. Also, the relationship between Krishna and the gopis is not a sexual one but the feeling of the highest love. Krishna was not a ‘playboy’ but the incarnation of Pure Love. The devotion and unconditional love of Radha for Krishna can be seen as the symbol of the soul longing from the divine and merging with it; it is the unique relationship between man and God. It is said that Krishna (the divine) can only be reached through Radha (devotion and love). Radha and Krishna do not exist one without the other, they are only one: Radhakrishna.
