For those who are already so informed, many details of Krishna and his worship are unveiled for the first time (at least in the English language), and this is especially so for the much beloved icons explored in these pages, whose full story may be hard to find, even in Sanskrit and Bengali literature. Just as Krishna’s form and its many variants are central to Gauḍīya Vaishnava thought, the entire philosophy of Indian spirituality, including yoga and meditation, can be understood through these forms in both direct and indirect ways. Steven J. Rosen, well known in the field as founding editor of the Journal of Vaishnava Studies, brings his vast learning to bear, as readers are brought into the esoteric world of Vaishnavism.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Steven RosenContributor: Kenneth Valpey (Foreword by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Explorations in Indic Traditions: Theological, Ethical, and PhilosophicalItem Weight: 454gItem Width: 22mmRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
