Madhurya Kadambini is one of the most cherished spiritual classics of the Gaudiya Vaiṣṇava sampradāya, composed by the illustrious Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura. This illuminating text offers a step-by-step analysis of the bhakti-mārga, elaborating on the famous verse adau śraddhā tataḥ sādhu-saṅga from Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī’s Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu.
In his unique poetic and heart-touching style, the author beautifully describes the devotee’s journey from the first awakening of faith (śraddhā) all the way to the sublime heights of divine love (prema). Every stage—anartha-nivṛtti, niṣṭhā, ruci, āsakti, and bhāva—is explored in detail, making the path clear and accessible for every sincere sādhaka.
This edition is adorned with the “Pīyūṣa Kāṇa” commentary by Paṇḍita Śrī Ananta Dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja, renowned as the mahanta of Rādhā-kuṇḍa and a foremost scholar of rāgānugā-bhakti in our times. His profound insights help open the doors to the rasa-laden atmosphere of Vṛndāvana, where the sādhaka may internally serve Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava.
