Sri Sri Gandharvika- Giridhari,
the presiding Deities
at New Radhakund.
|
|
|
|
|
Korsnäs Gård is the only Radha-Krishna temple in Scandinavia. The Deities here were installed in 1980 and named Sri Sri Gandharvika-Giridhari. Although the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust was not located here at the time the Deities were installed, how could it be accidental that they accepted the same name as Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur's beloved Deities who oversaw his printing press in India?

Srila Prabhupada speaks out:
"Govinda, Krishna, is the original Personality of Godhead. Krsnas tu bhagavan svayam. Even Lord Maha-Visnu, who by His breathing creates many millions upon millions of universes, is Lord Krishna's kala-visesa, or plenary portion of a plenary portion."
(Srimad-Bhagavatam, 10.1.2, purport)

Sri Krsna-lila-stava
(English edition)
of Srila Sanatana Gosvami, translated from the original Sanskrit, with commentary, by Gopiparanadhana Dasa
Among the priceless books contributed by Srila Sanatana Goswami to the literary heritage of the Gaudiya Vaishnavas, his Sri Krishna-lila-stava is the shortest and simplest. An offering of praise in 432 verses, it gives a personal meditation of Krishna's Vrindavana pastimes as told by Shukadeva in Srimad-Bhagavatam.
In Sri Krishna-lila-stava, Sril Sanatana Goswami evokes remembrance of Krishna's childhood pastimes by summarizing Shukadeva's narration in simple verses. These verses give us a taste of Krishna's Vrindavana pastimes, one after another, thus immersing us in the nectar of the Bhagavatam.

Mahabharata
(for the first time in Finnish)
An exciting and profound story of life in ancient times, the Mahabharata is at once a fascinating epic and a compendium of ethical and spiritual teachings. Illuminating and deeply moving, it is the story of five heroic warriors, the Pandavas, who are robbed of their kingdom and exiled. We are taken with them on an extraordinary journey, meeting sages, kings, demons, and celestial beings. Culminating in an apocalyptic war, the Mahabharata is a masterpiece of adventure, intrigue, romance, and spiritual wisdom.
Krishna Dharma presents a compelling version of this most cherished of all Indian classics. The author himself is a Vaishnava in the disciplic line descending from Vyasa, the Mahabharata's original author, and has studied and taught
the ancient writings of India for over twenty years.

Bhagavad-gita As It Is
(the new English edition)
Bhagavad-gita As It Is is universally renowned as the jewel of
India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to His intimate devotee Arjuna, the Gita's 700 concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self-realization. Indeed, there is no work even comparable in its revelations of man's essential nature, his environment and, ultimately, his relationship with God.
