There is so much character shown in these women's faces Charles!
A sad tale to be sure but faith has brought them together! If I remember my history of India correctly, did not Lord Krishna die before his wife?
Well done and reverant!

Thanks, Dan. I think Lord Krishna had many wives, some of which survived his death. Although Rukmini, Lord Krishna's spouse, killed herself by jumping into his pyre. Many of the stories about Lord Krishna are meant as metaphors for one's spiritual journey. I am not sure how literally they should be taken.

Thanks for the expanded explanation Chearles.
I have found in my college history studies that many religions have underlying metaphors for the "afterlife". It is the "journey" that is meant to be an awakening! A path for the person to be chosen!
Thanks!
