Rasa: Love Relationships in Transcendence

A beautiful text written from the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition perspective, it explores the various religious conceptions of God found in other world traditions, juxtaposing those with the transcendental personal nature of Radhe-Krishna. The book explores the emotional needs for relationship that humans experience, and why these (most often) are unsatisfactory and ultimately the source of pain and disappointment. It then outlines how one may cultivate true satisfaction through our compulsion to love and serve those we love by taking a more transcendental approach. Swami B.V. Tripurari has a wonderful gift of communicating in a clear and uncomplicated way, that helps the reader to truly grasp the perspectives he is presenting.
