Description:
(Poet)
Jayadeva was a distinguished Sanskrit poet renowned for his epic poem Gita Govinda, which centers on Krishna's affection for Radha. He played a significant role in the Bhakti movement of Hinduism, advocating Radha's superiority over Krishna. Revered as a skilled poet and ascetic in eastern India, little is known about his life. Jayadeva's hymns are featured in the Guru Granth Sahib, the primary scripture of Sikhism, despite his existence predating the religion's establishment.
