Immerse your child in the divine atmosphere of Vrindavan with the Ashta-Sakhis Combo Set! In a world dominated by screens, offer your child a meaningful connection to their spiritual roots. This beautifully curated 2-book set by author Gourangi Gandharvika Devi Dasi is designed to educate and entertain children about the closest associates of Srimati Radharani.
“Sakhi” means “friend.” The Ashta-sakhis are Srimati Radharani’s eight closest friends, each with a special gift that makes her unique. Lalita is playful with magic tricks, Visakha is full of jokes, and Indulekha has a great sense of fashion. Chitra paints beautiful pictures, Rangadevi cares for the animals of the forest, and Sudevi can even change the weather in Braj! Champakalata loves cooking delicious meals, while Tungavidya fills her garden halls with music, dance, and drama to make Radha and Krishna happy.
The Ashta-Sakhis book introduces children to each sakhi’s wonderful qualities, their talents, and the loving ways they serve Radha-Madhava. Through simple stories and descriptions of their special gardens, young readers can feel close to the sakhis and be inspired to use their own talents in Krishna’s service.
What's Inside the Pack? 1. Ashta-Sakhis: The Closest Friends of Srimati Radharani (Guide Book): Who are Lalita, Vishakha, and the other eight principal gopis?
