Jaiva Dharma - By Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, HH Bhanu Swami

Jaiva-dharma is a timeless spiritual classic by Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, presenting the complete philosophy of Gaudiya Vaishnavism (Gaudiya Tattva) in the form of an engaging story.
 
Set in the period following the disappearance of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the book unfolds as a dialogue between seekers and spiritual teachers. Profound philosophical truths are explained through simple yet illuminating conversations, making complex tattvas easily understandable.
 
The narrative is divided into four sections:
 
1. Foundational Questions – introducing key concepts of faith and practice.
 
2. Dasa Mula Tattva – the ten root principles of Gaudiya theology.
 
3. Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu Summary – essence of devotion and rasa-tattva.
 
4. Ujjvala-nilamani Summary – the pinnacle of divine love in madhura-rasa.
 
 
This authoritative translation by HH Bhanu Swami preserves the depth and beauty of the original, offering both devotional inspiration and philosophical clarity.
