My favourite ashtapadi of all time.... “yahi Madhava, yahi Kesava” , it is the second ashtapadi I ever danced and choreographed. But I revisit it every few years to find so many new things. Radha is upset and hurt at krishna’s indiscretions, and she says “your heart is darker than your external body certainly, how is it that you thought to deceive me, who has surrendered to you, please go away.... “ This is a short bit, the ashtapadi is really long, I’ll post a longer bit on IGTV in a couple day
