This beautiful Gaudiya Vaishnava classic, Sri Gauranga-Lilamrta, is an extremelyrare manuscript. The work is a result ofthe combined efforts of Srila VisvanathaChakravarti Thakura and his disciple, SrilKrishna Dasa. Srila Chakravartipada had composed the first eleven verses in Sanskrit, known as Sriman-Mahaprabhor-Ashta-Kaliya-Lila-Smarana-Mangala-Stotram, which are the seed verses or sütras that describe the eternal eightfold daily pastimes of the fair-complexioned Lord. His disciple, Sri Krishna Dasa, composed Bengali verses that expound on these elevenverses to give a fuller, more detailed picture of the Lord's daily schedule. This translation, by Dasaratha-Suta Dasa (ACBSP) brings this rare classic to the English audience in all its beauty-allowing us to follow a day in the life of the Golden Avatara.

Vallabhacharya, the founder of the Pushti Maarg was a poet, scholar and passionate lover of Lord Krishna. Madhurashtakam is one of the immemorial compositions of Vallabhacharya, the founder of Pusti marg. These set of eight verses talk of Shri Krishna's bewitching personality. His pastimes, and His pranks all of which make Him loving and lovable. The composition has become more popular because of its simplicity. Pujya Guruji's commentary on it gives us a sense of immediacy with highlights of episodes from the lives of recent saints. It also makes us introspect on our hypocrisies which prevent us from flowing with sweetness. It opens our eyes to the healing energies of the Divine, clothed in a name and form.
