By understanding the true nature of suddha-bhakti, one can relish the ultimate goal of all scriptures, the pure nectar of krsna-prema as exhibited and preached by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. In Stock
Raga Vartma Candrika Author: Srila Vishvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, with commentary by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja This book is a moonbeam to illuminate the path of spontaneous devotion wherein Srila Vishvanatha Cakravarti Thakura gives a detailed description of the path of raganuga-bhakti. The author states, “I am writing something for those persons who have greed for this raga but cannot find a way to enter and achieve it. This book will serve as a guide, like a candrika, or moonbeam, to shed light on raga vartma, the path of spontaneous loving devotion. Just as the moon diffuses some rays of light that illuminate a very narrow trail hidden in the shadows on a dark night, similarly this book is the candrika which casts light on the path of raga.” In stock |
