Stavāvalī

Autor: Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī

"A Row of Hymns" — the poems and prayers Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī wrote in his long years at Rādhā-kuṇḍa. This book holds all of his Stavāvalī except the Vilāpa-kusumāñjali, published on its own: hymns to Śrī Caitanya, the Instruction to the Mind and the Ten Vows — the rules of his own life, praises of Rādhā and her friends, of Kṛṣṇa and the deities of Vraja, the dialogue of the Flower Game, the long Hymn to the Pastimes of Vraja that walks the whole holy land, and the last prayers. The voice is always that of a servant who asks for one thing: to live in Vraja and serve Rādhā.
