Gaudiya Vedanta Publications

The very concept that the all-powerful Supreme Person is unaware of His Godhood, fears His mother, and plays mischievously with His friends is universally delightful. This book presents a number of the childhood pastimes of God, Krsna, who, by the act of His own spiritual potency, forgets that He is God and plays like an ordinary child. These pastimes are described in India's ancient scriptures, which state that although God is infinite, unlimited, and inconceivable, He is ultimately a person. He manifests in many forms and is mostly worshiped with great reverence. In His original and topmost feature, however, He inspires such intimate, sweet affection in the heart of his dear devotees that, although He enacts astonishing pastimes, both He and they remain unaware of His Godhood.

The ancient Vedic texts describe Her as the Sureme Goddess, the eternal, divine counterpart of the Supreme Personality, Sri Krsna. She is the embodiment of His sakti, or transcendental potency, specifically the potency of bliss.

Moreover, they want us to experience that rapture.She is filled with love and kindness for all living entities, and is ever ready to bless any sincere spiritual seeker.

Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja

Language: English Pages: 436 (40 B/W Illustrations) About the Book The life of Srimad Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja exemplified the lofty principles he taught, and thus he is known as acarya. Just as a lion (kesari) is gentle with her cubs and ferocious with those who may harm them, he was affectionate with those who sincerely aspired for Truth and roared like a lion when erroneous philosophy threatened their safe passage to the spiritual world. This biography not only describes his glorious life, spotless character and courageous preaching but it also details his lucid and penetrating delivery of Gaudiya philosophy. It depicts the qualities of a true acarya, who with his every breath demonstrated the pinnacle of loyalty to guru and who resolutely protected the tenets of his disciplic lineage for the benefit of the souls of this world. About the Author The sole measure of spiritual advancement is wholesale dedication to one's bona fide guru. Nothing else. Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja was the perfect embodiment of such devotion. From the time of his first meeting with his gurudeva in 1946, he rendered him personal service and took responsibility for his mission. Moreover, he fully imbibed his guru's teachings on the Absolute Truth and meticulously practised them in every aspect of his life. His spiritual potency was acknowledged by Gaudiya Vaisnavas the world over, and he is revered as an ideal servant of guru who can in turn

Acarya Kesari His Life and Teachings (Sri Srimad Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami)

Language: Roman Text with English TranslationPages: 235 (3 B/W Illustrations)ForewordThe title of this book, Arcana-dipika, means "the lamp that illuminates arcana." The term arcana signifies honor or worship. It is one of the nine processes of devotional service, and refers to worshiping the Deity form of the Lord. Arcana- dipika teaches us exactly how this service is performed and how to please the Lord through this process of worship. By the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Six Gosvamis and other contemporary followers of Sriman Mahaprabhu, and more recently, Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja, the process of Deity worship, which is the authentic method of approaching Sri Bhagavan, has been successfully introduced to the entire world. Arcana-dipika was originally presented in Bengali by Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Gosvami Maharaja and then translated into Hindi by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja. Those versions were written for a readership already familiar with some of the methods and procedures of arcana. In this translation, the English edition, we have included supplementary explanations for the understanding of those who are unfamiliar with the Vedic culture and the traditional methodology used in the process of arcana. Additionally, because the Vedic system is orthodox and may appear extremely rigid from the perspective of people of other backgrounds, as far as possible we have tried to organize and simplify the procedures while preserving the original method.Here, we must include a word of caution. Although Arcana- dipika teaches the process of worshiping the Deity, arcana cannot be practiced by merely following this book. In order to practice arcana in its pure form, in such a way that it awakens bhakti, one needs to be initiated by a bona fide spiritual master. It is by t
