Beschreibungen
<span><span>Tucked away in ancient Sanskrit and Bengali texts is a secret teaching, a blissful devotional (</span><span>bhakti</span><span>) tradition that involves sacred congregational chanting (</span><span>kīrta</span><span>na</span><span>), mindfulness practices (</span><span>japa, smaraṇam</span><span>), and the deepening of one’s relationship with God (</span><span>rasa</span><span>). Brought to the world’s stage by </span><span>Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu (1486–1533), and fully documented by his immediate followers, the Six Goswāmīs of Vrindāvan, thes</span><span>e unprecedented teachings were passed down from master to student in </span><span>Gauḍīya</span><span> Vaishnava lineages. </span><span>The Golden Avatāra of Love: Śrī</span><span> Chaitanya’s Life and Teachings</span><span>, 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 </span><span>Śrī</span><span> Chaitanya’s method. Using the ancient texts themselves and the findings of contemporary academics, Rosen succeeds in summarizing and establishing </span><span>Śrī</span><span> Chaitanya’s life and doctrine for the modern world.</span></span>
<span><span>This book focuses on one of the greatest saint/avatāras of all time: Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu. This charismatic religious leader popularized song and dance as a yogic science and conveyed teachings as relevant today as they were in his native Bengal some five hundred years ago. This is the story of how his message spread throughout the world.</span></span>

<span><span>“As one might imagine, I was delighted to learn that Steven was interested in contributing a work to this series. And not just any work: it could well be argued that this volume is his </span><span>magnum opus</span><span>. While it is written with the clarity of his earlier work, there is scholarly depth here that makes this particular volume a substantial contribution to academic knowledge of the important, but under-studied figure of Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu.”</span></span>
<span><span>Steven J. Rosen</span><span> is author of 31 books, the founding editor of the </span><span>Journal of Vaishnava Studies,</span><span> and associate editor of </span><span>Back to Godhead</span><span> magazine.</span></span>
