These topmost, incomparable and transcendental aspirations can then quickly be fulfilled. Thus, the name of this book, Sri Sankalpa-kalpadrumah, is appropriate, because it makes one's desires bear fruit. The sadhaka's life attains success only when the impetus to obtain these trancendental aspirations appear in the heart by the causeless mercy of the guru and Vaisnavas.

Journey of The Soul (Jiva Tattva)

We trust various persons of authority to infrom us about material subject matters, but whom shall we trust in regard to transcendental subject matters and the transcendental world? We cannot experience transcendence with any of our material senses. How then, can we have an idea of that pure reality? We can see the body, but not the soul. How can we verify that there is a soul beyond matter? Though God is everywhere, we don’t see Him. How then, can we determine who is God? Although it is evident that we cannot control the world, how can we trust that there is a God from whom this creation has come, and how can we be confident that it is He who controls it? Millions of people are born daily, and millions also die. Who controls this overwhelming tide of birth and death? Sea waves come on schedule, the sun appears on schedule, and new days come with continuous regularity. We do not control those rhythms, yet somehow, everything is maintained.

Gopi-gita

Gopi-gita is part of rasa-panca-adhyayi, the five chapters of Srimand Bhagavatam that relate rasa-lila. The body has five kinds of life-airs (panca-prana) residing in the heart, and among these five, one is most vital. The twelve cantos of Srimad-Bhägavatam are likened to twelve parts of a body. The tenth canto is the heart of that body. Within that heart, the five chapters that constitute räsa-panca-adhyäyi are its five life-airs, and among them, Gopi-gita is the foremost. We begin our discussion of Gopi-gita by remembering the chapter in Srimad- Bhägavatam that describes the gopis' worship of the goddess Kätyäyani-devi to attain Krsna as their husband...
