Sri Krishna Kathamrita: Putana — False Gurus, Institutions, and the Holy Name

Sri Krishna Kathamrita: Pūtanā — False Gurus, Institutions, and the Holy Name presents a profound exploration of the symbolic meaning behind the demoness Pūtanā’s pastime in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Edited by Madhavananda Das, this edition reveals how the story of Pūtanā offers timeless lessons about hypocrisy in spiritual life and the danger of false representation of devotion.
Drawing on the insights of Gaudiya Vaiṣṇava ācāryas, this book exposes the subtle influence of deceitful teachers and institutions that misuse the Holy Name, contrasting them with the pure devotees who truly serve with sincerity and humility.
A thought-provoking and heart-purifying read, it inspires readers to approach the Holy Name and guru-tattva with genuine faith, honesty, and surrender — the essence of true bhakti.
