Camatkara Candrika


Book Description

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, one of the most important saints and teachers of the Gaudiya Vaisnava school, wrote the "Sri Camatkara Candrika" while residing in Radhakunda and is composed of four stories that took place over five thousand years ago between Yavata and Nandagrama, two villages a few kilometers away. At that time Radharani lived in Yavata and Krishna in Nandagrama. An important key to understanding Sri Camatkara Candrika is that these are not stories of flirtations between boys and girls, but they are stories that must be understood within the concept of transcendence. Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the creator of all that exists, and Srimati Radharani is His eternal companion. All others personalities playing a part in these stories are Their eternal companions.




Radha Krishna Ganoddesa Dipika


Book Description

Srila Rupa Goswami, one of the six Goswamis of Vrindavana, was an incarnation of Rupa Manjari, the most important of the eight confidential maidservants of Srimati Radharani in the eternal transcendental Vrindavana. It is said that without taking shelter of Rupa Gosvami one cannot enter into the pastimes of Lord Caitanya, and without taking shelter of Rupa Manjari one cannot enter into the confidential loving pastimes of Sri Sri Radha Krishna. Srila Rupa Gosvami's lineage can be traced back to Karnataka, South India where his Sarasvata brahmana descendants held influential positions. Rupa Gosvami's nephew, Jiva Gosvami has explained in his Laghu Toshani that Rupa's descendants were of the Bharadvaja gotra and were learned in the Yajur Veda.




Kṛṣṇa Bhāvanāmṛta


Book Description

Śrī Kṛṣṇa-bhāvanāmṛta is a work describing the daily pastimes of Rādhā and Kṛṣna extending over a full day from early morning to late night. This follows after Govinda-līlāmṛta of Kṛṣṇa dāsa Kavirāja, one of the first Gauḍīya works on this topic and covers many of the same pastimes. Since a devotee eventually enters into the pastimes of the Lord in the spiritual world, the devotee may be inquisitive to understand the activities there and how he could participate in those activities. Since the Gauḍīyas generally concentrate on realization of Rādhā and Kṛṣna, most works describing the daily pastimes are concerned with their pastimes.
