Secret Truths of the Bhagavatam
From the discourses of Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja in Badger, California 1999.
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the spotless Purāṇa, the prema of Vraja permeating its every śloka. It is therefore natural to conclude that by hearing the Bhāgavatam from a person whose heart is similarly spotless, being suffused with that same prema, one will receive its true message and one’s own heart will be transformed. It is with this purpose that we humbly present the series of classes given in Badger, 1999, on the secret truths of the Bhāgavatam – from the First Canto to the Tenth – culminating in the significance of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes in Vṛndāvana.

Raga-vartma-chandrika
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura
A Moonbeam to Illuminate the Path of Spontaneous Devotion
The pristine glory of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s loving pastimes with His most exalted and spotlessly pure servitors, the damsels of Vraja, remains a mystery to those who do not take to heart the revelations of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava ācāryas, of whom Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura is prominent.
This book, originally penned in eloquent Sanskrit prose, is like a moon ray (candrikā) for those with a deep thirst (rāga) to follow the path (vartmā) to this love. The commentator, Śrīla Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja, declares that few people even realize that such a path exists, let alone follow it.

Prema-pradipa
Written in Bengali in 1886, at a time when the people of India were turning away from their own spiritual heritage to embrace divergent philosophies, this book enchanted its readers and inspired them to again cherish genuine spiritual life. Prema-pradīpa contains extensive references to a religious movement known as Brāhmoism. The movement’s philosophy was steeped in rationalism and a modern scientific approach. Brāhmoist philosophy asserts that worship of the Supreme Lord’s form equates to idolatry, that the Vedic scriptures are unworthy of faith, and that one should not place faith in the avatāras of Bhagavān (the Supreme Lord). According to the Vedas and those who have perfectly imbibed Vedic thought, such thinking prevents a person from ever relishing the bliss inherent in the soul and from tasting full freedom. It was with grave concern for the spiritual well-being of all that Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura penned this great literature, which is both delightful and profound and which illuminates the means of attaining the true and ultimate goal of yoga in accordance with the Vedic version.
