The present paper examines the collective consciousness of the Indian populace regarding Krishna worship. It examines the contributions of Narsinh Mehta, Surdas, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and Purandara Dasa. Although these people are very different and diverse in their language and culture, and at first sight may appear quite different and even disparate to us, they share an intimate, intense, and rich love of Krishna. These are not only figures; they belong to different regions of India and speak various languages; they also possess diverse socio-cultural backgrounds. But when you read them, in the stories which they tell you of their love for Krishna, you hear an impromptu universalist music.
