Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JAYADEVA: LIFE AND POEMS Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Jayadeva (circa 12oo AD.) was a Sanskrit poet and most known for his immortal composition, the epic poem/play Gita Govinda that depicts the divine love of Avatar Krishna and his consort, Radha. This poem is considered an important text in the Bhakti (Path of Love) movement of Hinduism. The work delineates the love of Krishna for Radha, the milkmaid, his faithlessness and subsequent return to her, and is taken as symbolical of the human soul's straying from its true allegiance but returning at length to the God that created it. It elaborates the eight moods of the heroine that over the years has been an inspiration for many paintings, compositions and choreographic works in Indian classical dances. It has been translated to many languages and is considered to be among the finest examples of Sanskrit poetry. Paul Smith has worked with Puran Singh's powerful & beautiful original free-form poetic version and brought it up to date. Introduction on Bhakti & Bhakti Poetry and Life & Poetry of Jayadeva.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jayadeva's dramatic lyrical poem Gitagovinda is a unique work in Indian literature and a source of inspiration in both medieval and contemporary Vaisnavism. It concentrates on Krsna's love with the Cowherdess Radha. Intense earthly passion is the example Jayadeva uses to express the complexities of divine and human love. It describes the loves of Krsna and Radha in twelve cantos containing twenty-four songs. The songs are sung by Krsna or Radha or Radha's maid and are connected by a brief narrative of descriptive passages. The appropriate musical mode and rhythm for each song are noted in the text. This poem is really a kind of drama, of the ragakavya type, since it is usually acted. Critical acclaim of the poem has been high, but its frank eroticism has led many Indian commentators to interpret the love between Radha and Krsna as an allegory of the human soul's love for God. Learned and popular audiences in India and elsewhere have continued to appreciate the emotional lyricism the poem expresses in its variations on the theme of separated lover's passion.

Book excerpt: This anthology is the expression of personal feelings and objective truths as experienced by the mystic poet himself in this ephemeral and transitory world. The poems deal with pertinent themes and are didactic in nature. Some poems are written in couplet form whereas some others have been written just in blank verse. These poems depict the grim reality of contemporary society in a lucid manner. Thinking about a thing is one thing, writing the thought in the paper is yet another thing, and penning them down in charming poetic form is yet another thing and that has been done in the book. People from all walks of life including children can easily fathom the pith and substance of almost all poems.

Book excerpt: Jayadeva’s Gitagovínda is a lyrical account of the illicit springtime love affair of Krishna and Radha, a god and goddess manifesting on earth as a cowherd and milkmaid for the sake of relishing the sweet miseries and rapturous delights of erotic love. The narrative framing their bucolic songs was composed under royal patronage in northeastern India in the twelfth century. It was to be performed for connoisseurs of poetry and the erotic arts, for aesthetes and voluptuaries who, while sensually engaged, were at the same time devoted to Krishna as Lord of the Universe. The text at once celebrates the vicissitudes of carnal love and the transports of religious devotion, merging and reconciling those realms of emotion and experience. Erotic and religious sensibilities serve, and are served by, the pleasures of poetry. In the centuries following its composition, the courtly text became a vastly popular inspirational hymnal. Jayadeva's songs continue to be sung throughout India in fervent devotional adoration of Krishna.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Paul Rodney Turner the "food yogi" takes you on a journey of rediscovering food and its importance in our spiritual evolution. FOOD YOGA not only offers practical guidance on how to live a healthy and happy life by reconnecting with nature, but also introduces the reader to the power of food as a uniter and a medium for expressing our love for the divine. Food yoga springs from the belief that the kind of food we eat affects our consciousness and subsequent behaviours. All the world's great spiritual traditions have elaborate food offering rituals carefully designed to expand consciousness and all use food as a means to represent or please the Divine and to expand the consciousness of their followers. Food yoga is, in essence, a discipline that honors all spiritual paths by embracing their core teaching - that food in its most pure form is divine and therefore an excellent medium for spiritual purification.

Book excerpt: Jayadeva Gosvāmī's main work is Gīta Govinda, depicting the love of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. The famous description of the ten avatāras is included in it at the beginning. Through this work, the ten avatāras became well known. Kṛṣṇa is not included as one of the ten avatāras, but is regarded by Jayadeva the source of all the avatāras. This thus supports the conclusion of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam as explained by the Gosvāmīs hundreds of years later. Caitanya Mahāprabhu during his stay in Puri would recite verses of Gīta Govinda in remembrance of the pastimes of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.Gīta Govinda became a major cultural influence in Orissa, and spread to Andhra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and had an influence upon the local dance forms of those states. As well Gīta Govinda became a popular subject of painting in Rajasthan around 1600 CE. William Jones published an English translation of the work in 1792 CE. It has since been translated in the major languages of the world. It is regarded as an example of the finest Sanskrit poetry.The various portions of the work are set to specific rāgas (selection of notes) and tālas (beats). However various editions of the work have different rāgas and tālas for a particular section. The renditions at the present time often use different rāgas and tālas.There are twelve chapters, each titled after Kṛṣṇa in his various moods. Each chapter is divided in several prabandhas, usually having eight verses with a chorus recited with each verse. There are twenty four prabandhas in the work.Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī has written a commentary on this work for the Gauḍīya sampradāya.
