Sanatana Dharma
Study on orthodox Hinduism from the point of view of the Gaudiya Vaishnavite tradition.
Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta
The hero’s quest for the extraordinary – an ever-recurring theme in literature – reflects the urge of every heart at its noblest to discover the full possibilities of life. Anyone dissatisfied with the scant potential of mundane existence is naturally stimulated by the prospect of finding, even vicariously, a world of greater liberty.

He finds the answer in the brilliant hagiographical exercise in Sanskrit and Bengali titled the Caitanya Caritamrita (CC) of Krishnadasa Kaviraja.

There is a celestial violinist playing to us; we need only listen to catch the tune and break free of the cage of ecclesiastical creeds and dogmas. In Fiddler in the Zoo author and theologian Chrysostom Arangaden reminds us that knowledge is our destiny and that its dissemination offers no barrier. He invites us to explore the traditional beliefs that bind us, as he inspires us to be reborn into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Arangadens work follows the words of Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore in GitanjaliWhere the mind is without fear and where knowledge is free as the charter for humans everywhere. In the chapter Bible through the Looking Glass he journeys beyond the Scriptu...
