Book excerpt: This beautiful Gaudiya Vaishnava classic, Sri Gauranga-Lilamrta, is an extremelyrare manuscript. The work is a result ofthe combined efforts of Srila VisvanathaChakravarti Thakura and his disciple, SrilKrishna Dasa. Srila Chakravartipada had composed the first eleven verses in Sanskrit, known as Sriman-Mahaprabhor-Ashta-Kaliya-Lila-Smarana-Mangala-Stotram, which are the seed verses or sütras that describe the eternal eightfold daily pastimes of the fair-complexioned Lord. His disciple, Sri Krishna Dasa, composed Bengali verses that expound on these elevenverses to give a fuller, more detailed picture of the Lord's daily schedule. This translation, by Dasaratha-Suta Dasa (ACBSP) brings this rare classic to the English audience in all its beauty-allowing us to follow a day in the life of the Golden Avatara.
