Madhurya Kadambini
Study of Madhurya Kadambini (Cloud Bank of Nectar) by Srila Visvanath Cakravarti Thakur, translated by Dina Bandhu Prabhu

From October 26 to November 1, 2011, a study of Madhurya Kadambini will be taught in VIHE by Her Grace Siddhi-Lalasa Devi Dasi.

Visvanath Cakravarti Thakur, crown jewel of rasika-acaryas, is expert in relishing the science of mellows. A long cloud bank is called kadambini, and madhurya is the most exquisite sweetness. This book releases showers of nectar from that cloud bank, including attainment of taste, enchantment of the heart, flowing of supreme bliss, and fulfillment of the heart's desire, as the author takes us from the initial steps of Krsna consciousness up to Prema-bhakti.
