Tava Kathāmṛta

tava kathāmṛtaṁ tapta-jīvanaṁ
kavibhir īḍitaṁ kalmaṣāpaham
śravaṇa-maṅgalaṁ śrīmad ātataṁ
bhuvi gṛṇanti ye bhūri-dā janāḥ

These immortal words of the gopīs, spoken in the Thirty-first Chapter of the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, encapsulate the essence of Kṛṣṇa consciousness:

"The nectar of your words and the descriptions of your activities are the life and soul of those suffering in this material world."

Indeed, what greater wealth do we possess than the narrations of Kṛṣṇa—his names, forms, qualities, and pastimes? To hear about him is to drink the very nectar that soothes the burning miseries of material existence.

Tava Kathāmṛta is a treasury of enchanting pastimes, drawn from the sacred writings of our ācāryas, that will melt the heart and make it dance with joy, simultaneously. Each page is a gateway into the divine land of Vṛndāvana, where every word, every exchange, and every līlā of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa pulses with transcendental bliss.

These mesmerising narratives do not merely recount history; they transport the reader to that eternal realm where devotion reigns supreme, grabbing the heart and mind to desire to be there in truth. The more we become immersed in the boundless ocean of Kṛṣṇa-kathā, the more our hearts awaken to the sweetness of bhakti, the wonders of Vraja, and the more we yearn for Kṛṣṇa, over and above all else.

This book was written by Mahārāja over 20 years ago, but lost, and recently found. You can learn more of the fascinating tale, and the depth of meditation that went into the book, in the Preface.

Tava Kathāmṛta is open for pre-order now, expect delivery by May-end.
