Reflections on Sacred Teachings, Volume 2 (Madhurya - Kadambini)

The Bhakti Trilogy is one of the great works of Visvanatha Cakravarti and his first presentation is the the Madhurya-Kadambini. The word kandambini means a long bank of clouds that are showering madhurya, the sweetness of devotion.These clouds manifest over the environment to shower the madhurya and extinguish the blazing forest fire of material attraction and attachments.His Holiness Bhakti-Tirtha Swami explores these verses as a way of reminding the reader how such mentors and their teachings, although ancient, are as relevant now as they were in the past.Let the madhurya, the sweetness of devotion, shower us all as we take shelter of Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura's unlimited mercy.
