While reading this book (Sri Vidagdh Madhav), one should always keep in mind that this transcendental pastime is absolutely distinct from the mundane pastimes of so-called love engaged in by the conditioned souls of this world. Our pastimes of so-called love are mere perverted reflections of these original, spiritual pastimes, and are enacted on the material, bodily platform of lust. There is an absolute distinction, as there is a distinction between gold and iron, and so one should never try to drag these loving exchanges down to the platform of lusty affairs between men and women in this material world.

The Lalita Cult has figured and still figures prominently among the countless cults of ancient India. Lalita is looked upon by the Hindus as a divine manifestation of the goddess Durga. The cult of Lalita is intimately associated with the Sakti cult or the worship of the Divine as Energy in the feminine form. The present book studies the cult of Lalita from a historical point of view. Though this study is mainly based on the Lalitopakhayana section of the Brahmanda Purana, an endeavour is made to review other phases of the Sakti cult and its place in Vedic literature, and particularly to examine its philosophical basis. The study also aims to remove certain misconceptions and improved theories which have obscured the true import and value of the Sakti cult.

Lalita Mādhava is praised by Rāmānanda Rāya and Caitanya Mahāprabhu for its excellent verses depicting the emotions of the highest rasa. It begins in Vṛndāvana with separation from Kṛṣṇa and ends in Dvārakā when the gopīs reunite with Kṛṣṇa as his queens, while maintaining their previous identities. Thus separation resolves into union and marriage in Dvārakā. The story included details different from the pastimes described in Bhāgavatam. Thus Viśvanātha Cakravartī explains that details of the drama were enacted in a different kalpa of Brahmā.

This work concerning Kṛṣṇa, friend of the gopīs, is permeated with ornaments in the form of conversations. The land within Vṛndāvana has become the arena for the performance of the drama. The spring season in which the moon has become newly red in response has become the suitable time.

This (Dana Keli Kaumudi) is a divine play/drama, written by Srila Rupa Goswami, with commentaries of Srila Visvanath Cakravarti Thakur. In the Caitanya-caritamrta (Antya 4.226) there is a verse that describes the writings of Sril Rupa Gosvami: Srila Rupa Gosvami compiled 100,000 verses, beginning with the book Dana-Keli-Kaumudi. In all these scriptures, he elaborately explained the transcendental mellows of the activities of Vrndavna. This one-act drama describes the very celebrated pastime of Krsna’s efforts to extract a toll from Radha and her companions as they carried butter for the performance of a sacrifice being performed in the forest of Vrndavana. Of course, it cannot be emphasized enough that such pastimes are only to be relished by devotees who have thoroughly understood Lord Krsna’s position as the Supreme Personality of Godhead by carefully studying the first nine cantos of the Srimad-Bhagavatam.”

This is the story of Madhavanala and Kamakandala. Madhav, a handsome and accomplished young man, is asked to leave his city of Pushpavati: his looks and singing so distract women that they neglect their work, and cityfolk create an uproar about it. Exiled, Madhav reaches the court of King Kama Sena, the ruler of Kamavati, where he meets the bewitching courtesan Kama. The two fall in love but royal ire ensures that the lovers part. A heartbroken Madhav takes shelter in a temple at Ujjain, the city of King Vikramaditya. What can the great ruler do to assuage Madhav’s pain? Can he reunite the lovers? This lively and colourful tale has startling metaphors, a candid narration of love and an ending that matches its evocative language. In circulation since the twelfth century AD, Madhav and Kama has been translated from the original Sanskrit text for readers in English for the first time.

There are many great saints in history, both in the Eastern and Western traditions. The unique distinction of Saint Jayananda is that he was born in the Western world, yet he is virtually the first Western-born servant of God to have attained sainthood status within an Eastern spiritual discipline, namely the ancient tradition of bhakti or devotion to Lord Sri Krishna. And Jayananda’s sainthood has been clearly established by Krishna Conscious authorities.
