Here is a pre­view of the dust jacket for my soon to be released Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism: The Way of Nat­ural Devo­tion; A Practitioner’s Hand­book. Thanks to Zvon­imir Tosic for his excel­lent design work. The book will be case­bound with a dust jacket for dura­bil­ity in prac­ti­tion­ers regular use.

With the upcom­ing pub­li­ca­tion of my new book, peo­ple have been ask­ing how I plan to insti­tu­tion­al­ize my teach­ings. Will I start a com­mu­nity, a church, a tem­ple, … ? No, I am not going to. Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism is an indi­vid­ual path that appeals to peo­ple who belong to the grow­ing seg­ment of the American […]

Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism: The Way of Nat­ural Devo­tion; A Practitioner’s Hand­book is the full title of my forth­com­ing book. Let me break it down. It is:

uni­ver­sal­ist in the sense of being non­sec­tar­ian, plu­ral­is­tic, and rel­a­tivis­tic rather than exclu­sivist. It sees cul­ti­va­tion of divine love as the essence of spir­i­tu­al­ity. Since God-dess rec­i­p­ro­cates in the man­ner peo­ple approach […]

Uni­ver­sal­ist Radha-Krishnaism: The Way of Nat­ural Devo­tion; A Practitioner’s Hand­book clearly and con­cisely reveals the eso­teric med­i­ta­tive process of par­tic­i­pat­ing in Radha-Krishna’s tran­scen­den­tal world. It includes solid historical […]

What I thought was a final edit of my next book turned into a major rewrite that I just com­pleted thanks to Nori Muster’s gen­er­ous edi­to­r­ial guid­ance.  I fine tuned and reor­ga­nized the book to present my com­plete teach­ings that empower prac­ti­tion­ers to prac­tice nat­ural devo­tion (raganuga bhakti) as one of Radha’s girl­friends. I sent […]

I’ve been quite busy man­ag­ing var­i­ous stages of con­struct­ing my home, and it’s com­ing together even bet­ter than I imagined–thanks to my wife’s imag­i­na­tion. Our vision of how we want to spend our elder years is man­i­fest­ing, and I feel more opti­mistic, hope­ful, and at home than ever before. At this tra­di­tional time of thanksgiving, […]

The Place of the Hid­den Moon: Erotic Mys­ti­cism in the Vaishnava-sahajiya Cult of Ben­gal, by Edward C. Dimock, Jr.
SOME EXCERPTS AND COMMENTS
In her 1989 fore­word, Wendy Doniger says:
This is the most reli­able and indeed alto­gether the best book I know on all of the many Indo­log­i­cal sub­jects with which it deals, some of them major […]

Often­times I’ve been asked to describe what a nat­ural devo­tion is com­pared to prac­tice found in insti­tu­tion­alised forms of Chai­tanya Vaish­nav­ism and their branches. In other words, I needed a good story peo­ple can imag­ine, take roles and iden­tify with. I finally got one, and that was — through karate.
