A Treasury of Devotional Poetry on Shri Radha Krishna
This renowned anthology of classical devotional poetry, published in two volumes and comprising 21 chapters, is a profound literary and spiritual work revealed by Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. It contains 1008 sublime devotional poems rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, and the writings of India’s great Rasika Saints. The divine, loving pastimes of Shri Radha Krishna form the foundation of these poems. When read or sung with sincerity, they are intended to awaken the appropriate sentiments of divine love, devotion, humility, and longing in the heart of the seeker.
The Vedas teach that humanity’s constant search for happiness in the material world is, ultimately, a misdirected search for divine happiness or bliss, that is, infinite, eternal, and ever-increasing. In fact, happiness is Shri Krishna Himself. Yet Shri Krishna, whose very nature is bliss and who is the embodiment of divine happiness, is Himself governed by His own intimate power, divine love or prema. These devotional songs are composed from the perspective of the seeker’s ultimate spiritual aspiration: the attainment of divine love.
This volume includes:

• The first 11 chapters of the anthology, offering a beautiful gateway to the heart of devotion.
• 522 sublime devotional poems.
• Detailed textual notes providing context and clarification for English readers.
• An illuminating introduction of the author.

This collection offers poetry to read, contemplate, and sing while entering more deeply into the eternal pastimes and divine love of Shri Radha Krishna.
