Gopala Campu

 

Gopala Campu by Srila Jiva Gosvami

A new edition of Srila Jiva Goswami's Gopala-champu, translated from the original Sanskrit by Bhanu Swami,

Gopala-champu is a truly special book for several reasons. For one, it narrates Krishna’s pastimes as found in the Srimad-bhagavatam, with the addition of rasa (emotions, or moods). For another, it is a very useful tool in one’s loving worship of God. Jiva Goswami himself suggests, “Among the pastimes [in this book], each person should choose some according to his inclination and use those for worship.” And finally, it is “a work composed of the bliss of Radha and Krishna.

The book certainly isn’t for newcomers to the Vaishnava tradition, delving deep into the esoteric pastimes of Krishna—from his appearance until his return to Vraja, his home town. “Though Kavikarnapura has written Ananda-vrindavana Champu on the same topic,” Bhanu Swami writes, “The unique feature of this champu is that the whole story has been arranged to lead to Krishna’s final union in marriage to the gopis .”
