With great beauty, clear expression and poetic sweetness, Bhavana Sara Sangraha presents the playful sports and blissful daily adventures of the Divine Couple. Just by reading this book, you will easily become absorbed in remembering the eternal pastimes (asta-kaliya-lila) of Radha and Krishna in Vrindavana

A honeybee continually drinks nectar by flying from one flower to another. In Bhāvanāsāra Sangraha, Šri Siddha Krsnadāsa delivers a continuous flow of divine nectar by quoting from one rasa-filled scripture after another to depict the allattractive, eternal pastimes of Rādhā-Govinda. Siddha Krsnadāsa has created a "zoom lens effect” by expertly connecting related verses from various śāstras to describe Krsna's sweet pastimes. Each successive verse brings the reader closer and closer to the extraordinary actions and feelings expressed within a given transcendental pastime of the Divine Couple.
