Srila Jiva Gosvami Ragatmika Vrajavasi & Tattva-siddhanta Acarya
Discover the extraordinary life of Srila Jiva Gosvami, the preeminent tattva-acarya of the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition. A direct disciple of Sri Rupa Gosvami, he preserved, systematized, and elaborated the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu through his unparalleled scholarship, devotion, and spiritual realization.
Residing in Vrndavana, Srila Jiva Gosvami composed twenty-five profound granthas, including the monumental Sat-sandarbhas, which clearly establish the soul’s eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord, the process of pure bhakti, and the ultimate goal of life — prema. From Harinamamrta-vyakarana to Gopalacampu and Madhava-mahotsava, his literary contributions remain unsurpassed treasures of Vaisnava philosophy and devotion.
Srila Jiva Gosvami not only manifested Sri Sri Radha-Damodara in Vrindavan but also bound the hearts of devotees eternally to the Divine Couple through his writings and example. This book is an essential read for every Gaudiya Vaisnava seeking a deeper understanding of bhakti-siddhanta, rasa-tattva, and the eternal pastimes of Sri Radha and Sri Krishna.
