Mathura Meets Vrindavan - Hardbound

A compendium of astonishing pastimes of Sri Krishna. The ecstatic love for Krishna possessed by the residents of Vrindavan far excels that found in any other place. When Krishna suddenly departed for Mathura he plunged the vrajavāsīs into an ocean of sorrow. What was Krishna’s purpose in leaving? What happened when his messenger Uddhava arrived in Vraja with a message of love? And, most of all, how is it that Krishna never leaves Vrindavan?

Topics include:

• Mother Yasoda, the personification of parental love
• The descent of bhakti
• Radha and Krishna’s meeting in Dwarka

 

Quote from the book:
     Uddhava was thinking, “The love possessed by Nanda Maharaja cannot be compared in unlimited universes. How can I tell Nanda Maharaja, "Don't cry?" If I say this then all of the śāstras will come and shut my mouth. The śāstras say that crying for Krishna is the ultimate goal of life. Rather, I should say to Nanda Maharaja, ‘Cry more, cry more, cry more! Cry yuga after yuga, millennium after millennium! Go on crying, go on crying! Shed more and more tears!’"

Hardbound, deluxe printing, 320 pages, 150 in full color, with over 100 original paintings.
