This book describes the glories of Sri Navadvipa-dhama. Lord Sri Nityananda Prabhu explains on tour to Sri Jiva Gosvami all the different places of pilgramage in the holy land of Sri Navadvipa.

This book is a compilation of lectures by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja on Ratha-yatra, or the Cart Festival of Lord Jagannatha, the world's most ancient annual religious festival.

Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu is a book written by rasikacarya Srila Rupa Gosvami in an elaborate way about the science of devotional service, and by reading this book one can understand the meaning of devotional service. But to elaborately explain madhura-rasa, which is not dealt in great depth in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, he wrote Sri Ujjvala-nilamani. It deals with every aspect of madhura-rasa. This book is the only definitive guide to madhura-rasa and ragamayi-bhakti.

Caution: This book will not be comprehensible unless one dives into the deep ocean of bhakti, i.e. Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. Only after attaining proficiency in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu should one dare to search for this blue emerald, Ujjvala-nilmani, found deep within the ocean of bhakti, otherwise one may get lost. We should very carefully understand the exalted position of this book and also appreciate the qualification that are required for hearing it.

About the transcendental holy name of the Lord.
"When a qualified person chants harinama, this light diffuses, thus keeping the darkness of illusion away from the soul."

Sri Vraja-mandala parikrama, originally inaugurated by Sriman Mahaprabhu Himself, has been conducted for over fifty years under the supervision and guidance of Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja. This book is a beautiful exposition of the confidential places of Sri Krsna's sweet pastimes in Vraja. The sincere devotee who has a deep thirst to enter into the sweetness of the land of Vraja will find ambrosial nectar flowing through these pages.

"Blessed is the land of Vraja, where the creator of the universe, Lord Brahma, dwells in the form of a mountain range in Varsana, to have the dust of the Divine Couple Sri Sri Radha-Krsna's lotus feet on the head; where the maintainer, Lord Visnu, has assumed the forms of Govardhana and Visnu-parvata; where the moon-crested Lord Siva has taken up residence as Nandisvara Hill in Nandagrama; and where Sri Uddhava, the best of Hari's servants, lives as a blade of grass, a small shrub or a creeper on the bank of Kusuma-sarovara."

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, the highly exalted preceptor and crown jewel of Sri Gaudiya Vaisnava acaryas, has masterfully crafted this incomparable narrative poem, Sri Prema-samputa, in a language that is simple, yet replete with deep meaning.

Once, Sri Krsna, disguised in the attire of a heavenly damsel, came to Srimati Radhika and stood before Her completely silent. The sight of this incredibly beautiful celestial damsel filled Srimati Radhika with bliss and She became most eager to befriend Her. Srimati Radhika asked Her several questions, but the girl offered no reply...

This book by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura presents in eleven chapters the essential teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu (i.e. dasa-mula siksa) regarding the nature of pramana (proof); the relationship (sambandha) between Krsna, the jiva and maya which is ascertained in the Vedas; the means to attain the goal (sadhana) and the goal itself (sadhya).

Composed originally in Bengali by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, Bhakti-tattva-viveka is a collection of four essays. By understanding the true nature of suddha-bhakti (pure bhakti), one can relish the ultimate goal of all scriptures, the pure nectar of krsna-prema as exhibited and preached by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Srila Sanatana Gosvami's Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta occupies a special place in the realm of Vaisnava literature. It is unparalleled in its delineation of siddhanta, rasa, bhava and lila. Its glories are limitless, and it is without question one of the most beneficial books for the progressive sadhaka. It is divided into two parts, and both parts tell the story of parivrajaka; that is, one who refuses the comforts of a permanent residence and constantly wanders in search of the essence of life.

Scriptural evidences of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu being Krsna Himself, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Evidences from a complete range of the storehouse of Vedic literature are provided to show that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krsna Himself. This book is a must for those who want to know where and how in our scripture Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s avatar is foretold.

Sri Narayana, pleased by Lord Brahma's penance, tells him in four verses (found in the ninth chapter of the Second Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam) the entire essence of Srimad-Bhagavatam, profound with deep meaning subject to different interpretation by different sampradayas.

This edition is unique in that it has commentaries and their translations done by prominent acaryas of four different Vaisnava sampradayas. It is especially filled with a rasamayi interpretation of these four verses as done by acaryas of the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya.

"Sri Damodarastakam is eternal; therefore we should study it, sing it out loud, and discuss it, not just during the month of Kartika, but every day throughout Caturmasya. It is so important that it is worth reading every month and indeeed every day of the year. If this Sri Damodarastakam is glorified in a sublimely pure way, Sri Damodara will become pleased. It is with this intention that with great effort we have compiled this book."
