Sankalpa-kaumudi: “A Moonbeam on Determination”
Inspired by Srila Sanatana Gosvami’s Brhad-bhagavatamrta and the tireless effort of its central character, Gopa-kumara, to perfect his devotional service, Samkalpa-kaumudi, “A Moonbeam on Determination,” casts a unique light on four aspects of sadhana-bhakti that arise from the pages of Brhad-bhagavatamrta: sankalpa, the determination that enables progress through the stages of devotional service; ekagrata, the careful attention needed for each successful sankalpa; bhava-seva, the underlying mood of a sankalpa corresponding to the mood of vraja-bhakti; and krpa, the divine grace by which practice finally transforms to ecstasy. Sankalpa-kaumudi is an attempt to elaborate on these four themes.
Extracting the philosophical essence from the writings of Srila Prabhupada and the previous acaryas, Sivarama Swami brings together their teachings with a unique analysis of bhakti in a most practical and digestible style that everyone—from aspiring sadhakas to pure devotees—will find inspiring, revealing, and life-changing.
