Śrī-Śrī Śikṣāṣṭakam is the only written composition directly revealed by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, composed during His final years in Jagannātha Purī. These eight sacred verses overflow with divine emotions and form the very heart of Mahāprabhu’s teachings.
Each verse expresses a step along the path of pure devotional love (prema-bhakti)—from humility and surrender, to deep longing, transcendental joy, and divine separation. Together, they depict the full spectrum of spiritual emotions that culminate in the intense mahābhāva experienced by Śrīman Mahāprabhu.
The detailed and heartfelt commentary by Paṇḍita Śrī Ananta Dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja, one of the foremost exponents of the Gaudiya tradition in modern times, brings forth the essence of these verses as taught by Śrī Rūpa, Sanātana, and the Six Gosvāmīs of Vṛndāvana.
Highlights:
The essence of Gaudiya Vaiṣṇava siddhānta in just eight verses
Unprecedented insight into the inner mood of Śrī Caitanya
Lucid, scripturally grounded explanations by Bābājī Mahārāja
A timeless treasure for all serious sādhakas
