In a ground-breaking initiative to promote and celebrate Vaishnava research and literature, Mandala Publishing and the Bhaktivedanta Research Center (BRC) have collaborated to co-publish “The Vaishnava Studies Series,” a unique endeavour with a multi-dimensional approach aiming to showcase the most recent and impactful research on Vaishnavism. The publishers are thrilled to announce the latest addition to this ongoing series—a 172-page book entitled “Madan Mohan: An Enchanting Saga.”
Released in both Sri Jagannatha Puri Dhama and Sri Vrindavana Dhama during the auspicious month of Kartika, this volume is an absorbing blend of heartfelt devotion and rigorous scholarship. The author, Sushant Bharti, is a devout follower of Gaudiya Vaishnavism initiated into the Radha-Ramana parivar in Vrindavana and possesses an academic background in architectural conservation. This combination uniquely positions him to illuminate the built heritage of Braja. Having a long-held desire to contribute to the scholarship concerning the Braja region, his passion received a concrete shape upon meeting H.G. Gauranga Dasa, the Director of the Govardhan Eco Village (GEV). Gauranga Prabhu encouraged the author to write a document expounding the religious and historical significance of the Madan Mohan temple in Vrindavana. The result is this masterpiece that takes readers on a devotional odyssey to the Madan Mohan temple.
Speaking at the book launch in Jagannatha Puri, H.G. Braja Vilasa Prabhu reminded devotees of Srila Prabhupada’s constant emphasis, “If you want to please me, print books; distribute books.” Commending BRC for its service, he said that Srila Prabhupada was surely immensely pleased with this book. He urged everyone to make this book “viral,” declaring that “Every hand should have this book!”
