Abstract

The article The Languages of Love and Desire in the Gīta Govinda and the Song of Songs by Yudit Kornberg Greenberg presents a comparative study between Indian and Hebrew sacred erotics. Greenberg explores themes of divine intimacy, erotic metaphor, and mysticism in both texts, arguing for parallel mystical trajectories in the traditions of Jayadeva and the Song of Songs.
