The Silent Flute

'The Silent Flute', a collection of poems in English, is the third transcreation by the author himself from his original Odia poetry collection 'Nishabda Banshiswana'. The title of this collection is after its first long poem that depicts the divine love betweenKrishna, the eighth incarnation of god Vishnu and Radha, the goddess of love, compassion and devotion and the internal potency (hladin shakti) of Krishna; and the reason behindbreaking the flute by Krishna himself. The other poems of this collection, which also includes some poems on Corona, are of varied tastes and thoughts that may touch the hearts of poetry-lovers.
