Ashtapadi

Ashtapadi:
Raaga- Shudda Saaranga
Tala- Misra Chappu
Composer- Jayadeva
Sakhi he keshi madana is the 6th Ashtapadi from the Gita Govindham. Radha is in a bower with a friend, tearfully telling her how much she loves Krishna. Radha recalls her first bashful meeting with Krishna, where he said a hundred reassuring words in her favor. With his gentle smile, he makes her feel very comfortable and asks her not to be afraid of anyone who might be watching them. Radha begs her friend to somehow recreate those magical times with Krishna, pleading her to bring him back so that she can spend more blissful nights with him.
