Rupa Vilasa Dasa has dedicated his life to preserving and disseminating the rich heritage of our Vaishnava acharyas through his devotional biographies. Recently, he spoke with ISKCON News about his latest offering.
At the heart of Rupa Vilasa’s service lies a deep reverence for the Vaishnava acharyas, whose timeless wisdom continues to guide and illuminate the path of Krishna consciousness for millions. Through his extensive research and insightful writing, he has meticulously chronicled the lives and teachings of these illustrious personalities, offering devotees a glimpse into their spirituality and devotion.
Speaking of this unique service, born out of his personal journey marked by spiritual seeking and introspection, Rupa Vilasa said, “I think it’s a wonderful experience to be able to associate with these great personalities. They present their timeless messages for our benefit, and to have their company is a wonderful experience.”
His upcoming book on Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura: The Seventh Goswami will be published later this year by the BBT. It promises to offer readers a comprehensive exploration of his life and teachings, drawing from extensive research and inspiration. Reflecting on the significance of this forthcoming publication, Rupa Vilasa stated, “This book is a compilation of everything that I’ve been able to find out during my years of research and study about this great acharya.”
However, Rupa Vilasa’s literary contributions extend far beyond a single volume. His recently published volume, Babaji Maharaja, has been expanded with new insights and previously unrevealed information, offering readers a deeper understanding of the lives and legacies of Srila Gaura Kishore Dasa Babaji and Srila Jagannatha Dasa Babaji Maharajas. Through research and historical story-telling, Rupa Vilasa brings to light previously unrevealed facets of the two babajis’ lives, teachings, and contributions to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s sankirtan movement.
