In that same year it was sent to universities around the world as it was the first comprehensive english [or european language] book to ever leave the borders of India containing the Divine Teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Serving as both a life sketch and a easily understandable philosophical presentation, the book is an ideal first exposure to the venerable eastern savior of Nadia, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His Divine Mission, the gist and impact of which is still largely unknown to the world. read more!   Your Heart Will Ask You Srila Govinda Maharaj Srila Govinda Maharaj explains that as we progress in our mood of loving devotional service our attitude we will come to transcend the restrictive and proscriptive orders of the scriptures.

Love gives independence to the servitor when it is mixed with free spiritual love." read more!
