| Glories of Sri Radha Compiled by Swami Gaurangapada |
Srimati Radharani is the eternal consort of Lord Krishna. "On a half-moon night in the month
of Bhadra, King Vrishabhanu came to the Jamuna to bathe and found himself engulfed in a
golden aura, the golden aura of pure love. It was emanating from a lotus, which had a baby
girl standing on its whorl. When the king returned to the palace with the baby, Queen
Kirtida was delighted. She was also shocked that the girl was blind…

| Glories of Sri Krishna Compiled by Swami Gaurangapada |
In the transcendental abode of the Lord there is no need of sun, moon, or stars for
illumination, nor is there any need of electricity, what to speak of lamps. All of them get their
power of illumination from the Lord's effulgence alone. Krishna, who is known as Govinda, is
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He has a transcendental form of eternal bliss and
knowledge. He is the origin of all and the cause of all causes.

| Biography of Lord Nityananda by Steven J. Rosen |
May Sri Nityananda Rama be the object of my constant remembrance. Sankarsana,
Mahavisnu, Garbhodaksayi Visnu, and Ksirodaksayi Visnu, as well as Sesa are His
expansions and the expansions of His expansions. Simply by talking of Nityananda Prabhu
one awakens his love for Krsna. Thus all his bodily limbs are agitated by ecstasy, and tears
flow from his eyes like the waters of the Ganges.

| Bhagavad Gita As It Is by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada |
The Bhagavad-Gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken
by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the
Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self
realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound
way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.

The depth of Shrila Vishvanatha Chakravarti's commentary on the Gita cannot be described
in words. It can be stated without hesitation that without reading Shrila Vishvanatha
Chakravarti's Sarartha Varshini commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, any study of the
Bhagavad Gita is incomplete, because the factual penetration into the deep esoteric
mysteries of the Bhagavad Gita is almost impossible without reading this commentary.

| Nityananda Charitamrita by Shrila Vrindavana Dasa Thakura |
Nityananda does not directly instruct in the confidential service of Krishna. Srimati Radhika is
the guru of the inner circle of the servants of Krishna. Srimati Radhika however accepts the
offer of service of only those souls who are specially favored by Nityananda and are deemed
by Him to be fit for Her service. There is, therefore, a most intimate relationship between the
function of Nityananda and that of Srimati Radhika.

| Shri Chaitanya Mandala by Shrila Lochana Dasa Thakura |
In private, Damodara Pandita asked: Why did Lord Gauranga descend to this world? My
heart is filled with bliss to hear that answer. Why did the Lord turn away from His dark color
and accept a fair-colored form? Why, when the Holy Names are sung, does He roll on the
ground and allow His limbs to be covered with dust? Why did He weep, calling out, "Radha!
Radha! Govinda!'? Even a fool who hears the answers to these questions will be delivered.

| Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmya by Shrila Saccidananda Bhaktivinode Thakura |
Navadvipa is the crest jewel of all holy places. Offenders are the object of punishment at
other holy pilgrimage places, but in Navadvipa-dhama they are purified. The example is the
two brothers Jagai and Madhai, who committed great offenses yet still received Nitai and
Gaura. For this reason the sages endlessly praise Navadvipa of Gaura-mandala.

| Sri Karnananda by Shrila Yadunandana Dasa |
Every single devotee of Shrila Shrinivasa Acarya Thakura used to chant 100,000 names
daily. If they did not finish chanting in the daytime, then they would chant at night. They
would tie up their shikhas to poles to ensure that they don't fall asleep. Because of this
they were the life and soul of their spiritual master and Shrila Shrinivasa was the life and
soul for them. Thus Shrila Acarya would never leave this place and always reside there."
