The Hidden Treasure of Manjari Bhava: Manjari Svarupa Nirupana
By Srila Kunjabihari Das Babaji
A rare and essential text for advanced rāgānugā-bhakti practitioners, this profound work reveals the inner meaning and method of mañjarī-bhāva-sādhana—the devotional mood of a maidservant of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.
🔹 “Raganuga-bhakti means līla-smarana.”
This statement forms the foundation of this book. One cannot properly practice rāgānugā-bhakti without asta-kaliya-lila-smarana—meditating on the eightfold daily pastimes of Radha-Krsna while chanting harinama in the mentally conceived spiritual form (siddha-deha) given by one’s guru.
The importance of siddha-pranali in the Gaudiya tradition
The concept of spiritual identity (svarupa) in kanta- or manjari-bhava
The intimate path of internal service to Sri Radha through smaraṇa
The transformative practice of becoming who you truly are: a servant in the nitya-līlā
Written by Śrīla Ananta Dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja’s guru, this book is a spiritual treasure for any sādhaka aspiring for the deep moods of Vraja.
✨ A must-read for sincere devotees seeking entry into the inner world of Radha-dasyam.
