This celebrated Sanskrit classic of India reveals the purpose of human life and the nature of pure spiritual love. Its divine poetry was originally sung by the young gopīs (cowherd-maidens) of Vraja to their beloved Śrī Kṛṣṇa, God Himself, while searching for Him in the autumn moonlight on the banks of the sacred river Yamunā. Concealing Himself from their sight, He listened in adoration and wonder to their expressions of love for Him. Hardbound, 5.5" x 8.5", 285 pages, includes 2 fold out color plates and an audio CD
