Aesthetic Vedanta

The Sacred Path of Passionate Love

Published by Mandala Publishing
Distributed by Simon & Schuster

About The Book

Swami B.V. Tripurari's Aesthetic Vedanta illuminates the classic Sanskrit poem rasa-lila — the sacred love affair of the Hindu deities Radha and Krishna. Interspersed with original poetry and renderings of medieval verse of several Hindu mystics, this book reveals the means to access the spiritual reality of India's erotic mysticism. Aesthetic Vedanta illuminates a tradition that is practical and profoundly beautiful, replete with visualization, ritual, song, and dance, both affirming and spiritualizing the erotic principle that lies within our souls.
