Jayadeva
Jayadeva (; born ), also spelt Jaideva, was a Sanskrit poet during the 12th century. He is most known for his epic poem ''Gita Govinda'' which concentrates on Krishna's love with the ''gopi'', Radha, in a rite of spring. This poem, which presents the view that Radha is greater than Krishna, is considered an important text in the Bhakti movement of Hinduism. Little is known of his life, except that he was a loner poet and a Hindu mendicant celebrated for his poetic genius in eastern India. Jayadeva is the earliest dated author of hymns that are included in the Guru Granth Sahib, the primary scripture of Sikhism – a religion founded in the Indian subcontinent centuries after his death. Biography He was born in a Brahmin family but the date and place of Jayadeva's birth is uncertain. The ''Gitagovinda'' suggests that he was born in the "Kindubilva" village. Scholars have variously identified this place with a present-day village in their own region, including Kenduli Sasan nea ...

Jayadeva Birth Controversy
The birthplace of the twelfth-century Sanskrit poet Jayadeva, author of the Gita Govinda, Gitagovinda, has been disputed, with the neighboring states of Odisha, West Bengal and the region of Mithila (region), Mithila in the state of Bihar staking a claim. This had led to a bitter feud between people on both sides that lasted for over a century. The issue is still debated by scholars. Bengali view A few earlier accounts by Bengali writers had linked Jayadeva to the famous king of Bengal Lakshman Sen, Lakshmana Sena, the fourth ruler of the Sena dynasty and the last Hindu ruler of unified Bengal. These views originated from a single Bengali book, ''Jayadeva Charita'' authored by ''Banamali Das'', then subsequently disseminated by Bengali historians. The book was written in 1803 when little was known about the poet's life. Since this was the only published source of information then, it eventually came to be accepted that Jayadeva may have been born in Bengal. This idea was further p ...

Gita Govinda
The ''Gita Govinda'' (; IAST: ''gītagovindam'') is a work composed by the 12th-century Hindu poet, Jayadeva. It describes the relationship between Krishna, Radha and ''gopis'' (female cow herders) of Vrindavan. The ''Gita Govinda'' is organized into twelve chapters. Each chapter is further sub-divided into one or more divisions called p''rabandha''s, totalling twenty-four in all. The prabandhas contain couplets grouped into eights, called '' ashtapadis''. The text also elaborates the eight moods of Heroine, the '' Ashta Nayika'', which has been an inspiration for many compositions and choreographic works in Indian classical dances. Every night in the Jagannatha temple, the ''Gitagovinda'' of Jayadeva is sung in the style of Odissi music, a tradition that has continued unbroken since the time of Jayadeva himself. Musicians of Kerala have adapted the ''ashtapadis'' into a musical form performed in temples called ''sopana sangeetham.'' Jayadeva's hymns are also included in the Gu ...
