At last! A guidebook for Vaishnavas who are ready to immerse themselves in the practice of raganuga bhakti. Uttamasloka prabhu has painstakingly studied all the relevant books and commentaries of our Gaudiya Vaishnava acharyas and presents everything in a summary study. Moreover, he explains the entire subject point by point with references to what each acharya says about every specific topic. If this is not enough he has placed many of the most esoteric concepts into flow charts so that everyone can follow the step by step progression to the ultimate goal - krsna prema. This book clarified for me the various steps and development of loving service that can uncover not only your rasa in the spiritual realm but more importantly, your identity in that rasa. All misconceptions are cleared away so the path back to home becomes clear and straightforward. All we have to do is dedicate and commit ourselves to the process to achieve the ultimate purpose of spiritual life – prema prayojana. After years of studying and compiling this knowledge, one would think Uttamasloka prabhu would charge a fortune for his book. I mean it is definitely worth a fortune, but no, he wants to give it away for Free! He says it’s his service to the Vaishnavas, Srila Prabhupada, and Lord Caitanya. Awesome!

Very nice review, Vaiyasaki prabhu, but it should be posted on FB and Dandavats and other more public places, because everyone on this forum is already reading or has read this book. I think all devotees would benefit from its timely message. It has cleared up so many misconceptions for me, personally, regarding raganuga bhakti. I am amazed how much I believed that was totally wrong- concepts assumed to be true in ISKCON. This is vitally important subject matter- how to reach Krsna. You can't get more important than that, for a devotee!
