In the sixteenth century, the saint and scholar Sri Caitanya set in
motion a wave of devotion to Krishna that began in eastern India
and has now found its way around the world. Caitanya taught that
the highest aim of life is to develop selfless love for God
Krishna, the blue-hued cowherd boy who spoke the Bhagavad Gita.
Although only a handful of poetry is attributed to Caitanya, his
devotional theology was expounded and systematized by his followers
in a vast array of poetical, philosophical, and ritual literature.
This book provides a thematic study of Caitanya Vaishnava
philosophy, introducing key thinkers and ideas in the early
tradition, using Sanskrit and Bengali sources that have seldom been
studied in English. The book addresses major areas of the
tradition, including epistemology, ontology, aesthetics, ethics,
and history, and every chapter includes relevant readings from
primary sources.
