She wants to make the impossible possible. Though without a body consciousness, she does have a body and that body has its own limitations. It wants to see the formless in some form. That is because it can only perceive forms. It does not understand abstract things. p { color: #00000a; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin-top: 0.28cm; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; background: transparent }p.western { font-family: "Arial", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-US }p.cjk { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-IN }p.ctl { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 14pt; so-language: ar-SA }a:link { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline }

She did not care how the worldly people look at her. She discarded all identities, even the identity as a female! She went around naked without any hesitation or feeling of shame. p { color: #00000a; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin-top: 0.28cm; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; background: transparent }p.western { font-family: "Arial", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-US }p.cjk { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-IN }p.ctl { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 14pt; so-language: ar-SA }a:link { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline }

It was an assembly of great saints, all of whom had experienced God in their own way. There were men and women who had gathered together to share their individual experiences with each other. They had also come for a serious discussion about how the society can be reformed. p { color: #00000a; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin-top: 0.28cm; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; background: transparent }p.western { font-family: "Arial", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-US }p.cjk { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-IN }p.ctl { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 14pt; so-language: ar-SA }a:link { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline }

Goda is in love with God! And she has no hesitation to admit it openly. So, she sings expressing her love to God. She imagines herself to be one of the cowherd girls who lived with Krishna, when the God descended on earth in the human form of Krishna. p { color: #00000a; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin-top: 0.28cm; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; background: transparent }p.western { font-family: "Arial", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-US }p.cjk { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-IN }p.ctl { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 14pt; so-language: ar-SA }a:link { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline }

Romance with God?! Maybe it sounds blasphemous. But not in India among Hindus. There, it is perfectly alright to have a ‘love affair with God’. Well, only if you are a female. As a female devotee, it is perfectly all right to look upon God as your male companion, your beloved, your lover. p { color: #00000a; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin-top: 0.28cm; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; background: transparent }p.western { font-family: "Arial", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-US }p.cjk { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-IN }p.ctl { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 14pt; so-language: ar-SA }a:link { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline }
