The Shikchashtak
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
No matter what I write about The Shikchashtak, I could never do it justice. Anyone who sincerely wants to develop a closer relationship with God has to read this book...several times. When I first read it, I could appreciate it primarily from an intellectual perspective, and some of it on an emotional level. I had a strong desire to experience the love for God and the bliss of God that was described in it's chapters. After practicing the type of meditation and devotion that is outlined, I read The Shikchashtak again. To my delight, the power within the concepts and verses dawned in my heart and mind. With each subsequent reading, I achieve a deeper appreciation for what has actually been revealed in this book. In addition, I gain a better idea of how much spiritual progress I have made and in what areas I need continued focus. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Ji for revealing the Shikchashtak, and to His Divinity Swami Prakashanand Saraswati for explainng their deeper meanings in such an incredibly beautiful form.

A Treasure of Wisdom

An inspiring explanation of eight potent verses, the only writings left to us by Lord Chaitanya. Swamiji has made these beautiful words come alive. I found it difficult to put down, even when I knew I had to get to sleep! And rereading it later, I found even more value in it.
