Sri Krishna's exile to Brindavan is a landmark in the history of Indian religion, considering that the episodes connected with that exile have given birth to the practice and yoga of divine love which takes us to the depths and intimacies of human emotions turned to the Divine and the Divine response that uplifts various layers of human consciousness, even the vital and sensuous to their divine counterparts. Sri Krishna's sweetness and the alluring charm of His flute surpass even the oceans of Ananda and capture the human soul into the most intimate secrecy of the human relationship with the Divine. The Rasa Lila of Sri Krishna with the Gopis and the love of Sri Krishna with Radha and of Radha with Sri Krishna have become for all spiritual seekers a symbol of the Divine Harmony that can be established on the earth as also of the creative power of Divine Love.

This book is an anthology of episodes taken from various literary works that depict the episodes connected with Sri Krishna's exile to Brindavan as also of some of the significant poems, comments and essays that aim at clarifying and illumining the secrets of Sri Krishna as an Avatara and the impact that Sri Krishna has made on the human hearts that have turned to the intimacies of Divine Love. A few extracts from Sri Chaitanya and Sri Ramakrishna, as also from Sri Aurobindo and The Mother's "Radha's Prayer" indicate the living testimony of the reality of Sri Krishna and the work that He continues to do for the evolution of consciousness on the earth.

The aim of this anthology is to introduce to the reader some significant passages and poems that will provide illuminating impressions of some of the relevant original works, and it is hoped that the reader will feel invited to turn to the original works in an ever continuing pilgrimage to the sanctuary of Sri Krishna.
