Review: Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics
June 29th, 2020 | by Harmonist staff
What Maharaja does in this book, then, is to bring cow care into the 21st century by pairing it with modern animal ethics. Updating the way in which Vaishnavas think and speak about cow care has been long overdue
Book Review: Cowherd Boys Nectar: Sri Sri Preyo-Bhakti-Rasarnava

The book naturally highlights the mood of Krishna’s priya sakhas and will prove particularly useful to those sadhakas (practitioners) who aspire to follow that mood
Review: Wise Love: Bhakti and the Search for the Soul of Consciousness
September 27th, 2018 | by Harmonist staff
Wise Love may be particularly helpful to readers who have some exposure to bhakti thought and practice, especially to Caitanya vaisnavism, through having friends or family members engaged in Krishna bhakti. Those who have been exposed to bhakti through college or university courses on philosophy or religious studies may also find this book useful.

Book Review: Sacred Preface
June 26th, 2017 | by Harmonist staff
Sri Krsnadasa Kaviraja’s fourteen verse mangalacarana to his classic work Sri Caitanya Caritamrta serves as the seed conception containing all the central ideas of Gaudiya theology, metaphysics, and aesthetics that he intends to bring forth in the elaborated text. Exactly how this is so has been clearly, systematically and poetically illuminated by Swami B.V. Tripurari in his latest book, Sacred Preface
