Author Description

Language: English Pages: 258 (12 colored Illustrations) Preface Today I am very delighted because I am able to present this second edition of "Divine Intoxication" which reveals at least a portion of the life of the exlusive mahabhagavata devotee known as Sri Krsna Dasa Babaji Maharaja to the public. This edition has a significant increase in content as well as pictures. I hope you will find as much joy in reading this biographical work as I did in writing it! At first, my appreciation for this dear most contemporary of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was sparked by hearing just a few anecdotes about him, which were being commonly circulated throughout ISKCON and the greater body of the S17 Gaudiya Math. Age with most young devotees, I heard these pastimes with interest, but at the time I did not emotionally attach myself to them in any way or even slightly realize their deep import. However, as time went on in my devotional life, became increasingly interested in hearing all about the inspirational acaryas and saints of the gaudiyavaisnava parampara (guru-disciple lineage). I began to relish reading about the life of my own dear-most paramgurudey, Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and some of his more prominently known god brothers such as $17 Srimad Bhakti Rakshaka Sridhardev Goswami, Sri Srimad Bhakti Prajnana Keshava Goswami, Sri Srimad Bhakti Promote Puri Goswami, and Sri Stimad Bhakti Vaibhava Purj Goswami. I also read as much as | could about Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada, Srila Gaura Kishore Dasa Babaji, Sri Vamsi Dasa Babaji, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, and Srila Jagannatha Dasa Babaji.
