Tucked away in ancient Sanskrit and Bengali texts is a secret teaching, a blissful devotional (bhakti) tradition that involves sacred congregational chanting (kirtana), mindfulness practices (japa, smara?am), and the deepening of one’s relationship with God (rasa). Brought to the world’s stage by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1486–1533), and fully documented by his immediate followers, the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan, these unprecedented teachings were passed down from master to student in Gau?iya Vaishnava lineages. The Golden Avatara of Love: Sri Chaitanya’s Life and Teachings, 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 Sri Chaitanya’s method. Using the ancient texts themselves and the findings of contemporary academics, Rosen succeeds in summarizing and establishing Sri Chaitanya’s life and doctrine for the modern world.
Steven J. Rosen is author of 31 books, the founding editor of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies, and associate editor of Back to Godhead magazine.
