I'm delighted to announce that my first book is now available in print version.
The journey of crafting and bringing this book to fruition, from A to Z, has been a labor of love and dedication. While numerous individuals have played a role in various capacities throughout this journey, particularly in responding to my inquiries, I owe a special debt of gratitude to Advaita Das ji and my wife, Lalitā Dāsī, for their invaluable contributions. Their assistance has been pivotal in shaping and compiling this project.
The first volume covers the first part of the nectar of the Sweetness of Braja.
We all know that Kṛṣṇa's līlā in Vṛndāvana is sweet, but do we truly understand the depth and extent of this sweetness, and the key factors that contribute to it? What exactly distinguishes Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa's līlā in Braja, the Vrajavāsīs, and Braja itself from all other pastimes and places of Kṛṣṇa? And what exactly makes The Sweetness of Braja so unique and special – is there a secret behind its unmatched sweetness?
This book offers for the first time, a comprehensive and accurate explanation of The Sweetness of Braja, in great detail and in a systematic order. It contains all the key verses of the Gauḍīya śāstras and the most important ṭīkās (purports) of the Ācāryas.
