"Bhakti-rāsāmṛta-sindhu," authored by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, originates from direct teachings received by him from Lord Caitanya. This work expounds on various dimensions of bhakti to Kṛṣṇa, encompassing the exploration of the bhakti path, diverse bhakti practices, progressive stages of bhakti, the culmination of bhakti yoga, the eventual manifestation of perfected devotion, the innate relationship between devotee and God, and multifaceted aspects within that connection. It is a technical manual, employing an array of specialized terminology that can often perplex devotees, making the learning process seem daunting. Nevertheless, armed with a clear overview of the text, navigating the work becomes significantly easier. The work is logical structured and adeptly organized making it easier to comprehend once we understand its outline. In this series of forthcoming seminars, my objective is to facilitate just that. I was able to learn this work due to the mercy of my spiritual master HH Bhanu Swami Maharaja, and I'll try my best to present it. I'm sure there will be mistakes stemming from my fallible memory and imperfect understanding, but my aspiration is to present this work with the desire to aid the devotees to appreciate and study this profound work.
The books can be purchased here -> Vol. 1, Vol. 2.
In this series of presentation, I read the original sanskrit of the work and explain it in english.
