Rasakhan, Rasa Ki Khan By Krishnaakinkari [English] Hardcover
This elegant hardback introduces readers to Rasakhan, the celebrated Vraja poet–saint and devoted disciple of Śrī Gusāīnjī, whose inspiring life is narrated in the 252 Vaiṣṇavon kī Vārtā. True to his name—Rasa kī Khān (a mine of rasa)—Rasakhan’s poetry overflows with sweetness, depth, and intimate insight into the divine pastimes of Vraja.
A prolific composer of dohās, savaiyyās, and padas, Rasakhan’s unique and deeply emotive style captures the essence of bhakti infused with rasa. This volume is especially valuable as it presents material previously untranslated into English, including the beautiful “Yugal Dhyān” and the evocative “Buttermilk Poems.”
All compositions are provided with clear transliteration, alongside English translation, allowing readers to relish both the sound and meaning of Rasakhan’s poetry—even without prior knowledge of Vraja Bhāṣā.
Ideal for:
Lovers of Vraja poetry and bhakti literature
Readers of Puṣṭi Mārga and Vaiṣṇava traditions
Rasika devotees seeking untranslated gems
Collectors of finely produced devotional books
A slim yet rich volume, this book is a true offering from the heart of Vraja, revealing Rasakhan as a timeless master of devotional rasa.
