Divine Love’ is a phrase commonly used by both religious and spiritual people. Upon hearing it, the first thing which comes to mind is that it is about people who are in love with the Divine. We visualise images of Sufi saints dancing and singing in praise of the Divine. They have renounced the world and are living in a different realm. They have forgotten their hunger and all materialistic needs and are just whirling and perceiving things from a different dimension. We can visualise the image of Hanumanji who tore open his chest and showed the picture of Lord Rama inside his heart. The love was so prominent that the image of the beloved was very much seen in the physical heart.
Krishna devotees may think about Meera, who was no less than a Sufi saint. She called the name of her beloved and danced on the streets like a madwoman. Her poetry is still alive and awakens love in the hearts of listeners even today. If we go through the scriptures, we get the most mesmerising details of divine love with Lord Krishna enchanting Radha and all the gopis (cowherd women). They were merged in the highest love during the Maharaas (divine dance) where the Lord had taken numerous forms to be individually with all the gopis. All the gods and goddesses had appeared in the sky to watch this grand love ritual. Some of us believe this story, while others consider it fictional, but it is the greatest love story mentioned in our scriptures. Till today, artists perform in different forms to depicts this eternal love and none of us can deny that we do not feel good while listening about it.
