Reviews

“As a life long seeker myself, open to both East­ern and West­ern reli­gious ideas, I con­sider this book a por­tal to enlight­en­ment. Bohlert leads the reader up a spi­ral stair­case to the light, wind­ing through the Chris­t­ian and Hindu faiths as we ascend.…Bohlert asks the reader to throw off con­ven­tion, and sim­ply embrace the love ema­nat­ing from Radha and Krishna. If more peo­ple read this book, the world will be a bet­ter place.”  Nori Muster, author of Betrayal of the Spirit

Dr. M. Valle, who teaches phi­los­o­phy of reli­gion at Scotts­dale Com­mu­nity Col­lege (AZ) says, “Steve Bohlert’s approach to spir­i­tu­al­ity merges West­ern and East­ern thought by de-emphasizing cul­tural trap­pings and lit­er­al­ism, while main­tain­ing a pas­sion­ate emo­tional bond with the Supreme Being in this espe­cially effec­tive form of the Divine Cou­ple, Radha-Krishna.”

“Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism is a spir­i­tual jour­ney and a mod­ern syn­the­sis like you have sel­dom seen before, and never in this unique con­text. It’s a bridge between the East and West, past and present, old and new. Con­tin­u­ing in the tra­di­tion of pro­gres­sive, pro­lific west­ern thinkers like John Shelby Spong, Mar­cus Borg, Joseph Camp­bell, Paul Tillich, and sci­ence vision­ar­ies like David Bohm, together with India’s own lumi­nar­ies like Kedar­nath Bhak­tivin­ode Thakur, Steve Bohlert adds new acts in an ever unfold­ing play of human self-discovery and its rela­tion­ship to the divine.” Zvon­imir Tosic, Artist/Philosopher

Book Descrip­tion

Steve Bohlert (Subal Das Goswami) rede­fines Radha-Krishna devo­tion and makes it acces­si­ble to West­ern seek­ers. He revises Radha-Krishna devo­tional yoga and adapts it to people’s needs today. His Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism: A Spir­i­tu­al­ity of Lib­erty, Truth, and Love presents a com­plete philo­soph­i­cal sys­tem along with spir­i­tual prac­tices that read­ers can incor­po­rate into their daily lives to develop devo­tion to God-dess–Radha Krishna, the Divine Couple–and enter into their play.

Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism offers–A prac­ti­cal spir­i­tu­al­ity that read­ers may har­mo­niously prac­tice in their cur­rent life sit­u­a­tion. A vision of eter­nal spir­i­tual life as an inti­mate asso­ciate of Radha-Krishna as well as the means to actu­al­ize it. An affir­ma­tion of God-dess’ lov­ing pres­ence per­me­at­ing this life with good­ness and grace. A philo­soph­i­cal basis and prac­ti­cal tech­niques that allow the reader to begin the path of lov­ing devo­tion. A dynamic, cre­ative faith, free of unten­able dogma, which encour­ages lib­erty of thought and practice.

Real­iz­ing “the self” related to God-dess and the world through divine love leads to a sense of inter­con­nect­ed­ness with all existence–both mate­r­ial and spir­i­tual. A height­ened sense of free­dom, ful­fill­ment, and enjoy­ment of life nat­u­rally devel­ops from this awareness.
