Live Journal FeedNotes
On Daeron: It says of Daeron in the Silmarillion that he fled into the East after the downfall of Doriath. Since both the Silmarillion and the Indian mythos pre-date history as we know it, I've twisted things infinitesmally to place him in India during this period.
On Krishna: If you're a religious Hindu...well, please don't be offended by this story. It doesn't in any way exhibit my religious beliefs; I am a Hindu and don't mean to insult the deities in any way. I'm merely presenting a viewpoint on how a legend can be created out of almost nothing; if this view offends you, I apologise.
On Radha: Radha, daughter of Vrishabhanu, was the mistress of the Hindu mythical figure Krishna during the period of his life when he lived among the cowherds of Vrindavan. Since childhood they were close to each other - they played, they danced, they fought, they grew up together and wanted to be together forever, but the world pulled them apart. He departed to safeguard the virtues of truth, and she waited for him. He vanquished his enemies, became the king, and came to be worshipped as a lord of the universe. She waited for him. He married Rukmini and Satyabhama, raised a family, fought the great war of Ayodhya, and she still waited. So great was Radha's love for Krishna that even today her name is uttered whenever Krishna is refered to, and Krishna worship is though to be incomplete without the deification of Radha.
On the poetic text at the beginning and end: This text is adapted from the Old English poem 'Deor', with obvious alterations and additions.
