Sri Camatkara Candrika- English

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has cleverly crafted this poem with simple yet profound language, in such a way that the charming transcendental sentiments of these four pastimes will astound and infatuate the hearts of all devotees who are expert in tasting transcendental sentiments. These pastimes are filled with the transcendental mellow of laughter (hasya-rasa), which will submerge all readers in an ocean of blissful delight. The scriptures on rhetoric say, “rase saraù camatkaraù – the essence of rasa is astonishment.” This book is the very essence of rasa, and thus it derives its name, Sri Camatkara-candrika – a moonbeam of complete astonishment.
