Download or read book Sri Chaitanya s Life and Teachings written by Steven Rosen and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tucked away in ancient Sanskrit and Bengali texts is a secret teaching, a blissful devotional (bhakti) tradition that involves sacred congregational chanting (kīrtana), mindfulness practices (japa, smaraṇam), and the deepening of one’s relationship with God (rasa). Brought to the world’s stage by Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu (1486–1533), and fully documented by his immediate followers, the Six Goswāmīs of Vrindāvan, these unprecedented teachings were passed down from master to student in Gauḍīya Vaishnava lineages. The Golden Avatāra of Love: Śrī Chaitanya’s Life and Teachings, by contemporary scholar Steven J. Rosen, makes the profound truths of this confidential knowledge easily accessible for an English language audience. In his well-researched text, modern readers—spiritual practitioners, scholars, and seekers of knowledge alike—will encounter a treasure of hitherto unrevealed spiritual teachings, and be able to fathom sublime dimensions of Śrī Chaitanya’s method. Using the ancient texts themselves and the findings of contemporary academics, Rosen succeeds in summarizing and establishing Śrī Chaitanya’s life and doctrine for the modern world.

Book excerpt: Bhakti Sandarbha is the fifth Sandarbha of Jīva Gosvāmī. The first Sandarbha deals with pramāna, the Bhāgavatam. The second, third and fourth Sandarbhas deal with sambandha: defining the Lord in his aspects as Paramātmā, Bhagavān and Kṛṣṇa. The present Sandarbha deals with the abhideya (method), the sādhana of bhakti. This is the means to realize Kṛṣṇa. The same topic is covered in the second chapter of the Eastern Section of Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu of Rūpa Gosvāmī, but is expanded greatly. It discusses the spiritual nature of this process, the qualification of bhakti, the various actions of bhakti, vaidhi and rāgānuga types, mixed and pure forms of bhakti and various types of devotees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incarnations of the Lord, Krishna or Visnu, are as numerous as the waves of the ocean, a way to say that they are infinite. They keep coming and coming, performing so many different acts in order to please His devotees, destroy demons and establish the principles of spiritual life. For us, members of the Vaisnava Gaudiya tradition, there is no doubt that Sri Krishna and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are the most important among all divine incarnations. Sri Krishna appeared more than 5,100 years ago , Mahaprabhu more than 520 years ago . We have a vast literature telling us of these two divine descents and Their activities with Their friends. Since we know that Krishna returned on this Earth as Caitanya Mahaprabhu, is only natural that we want to know who among His associates in Goloka Vrindavana came and in which body.
