Read Catfish Volumes 36-40 Storyline:

This anthology contains volumes 36-40 of my zine of book, audio, and other reviews.Commentary by Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana MaharajaEdited by Vicitri dasiSri Gita-govinda is the zenith of all literatures; the poet himself confidently tells his audience this fact at the beginning as well as at the end of his divine masterpiece. This great classic is an immaculate presentation of sacred amorous love, manifested in this world by a genuine Vrajavasi, a resident of the topmost spiritual realm. It was by the desire of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu that this intimate vision of madhura-rasa was revealed in this world, providing a means for Him to relish the moods of Sri Radha. It furthermore affords a view of the unimaginable, confidential reality of Goloka Vraja for the conditioned souls of Kali-yuga. This Gita-govinda and other Gosvami literatures, with their pristine descriptions of the erotic mellow, are indeed the very medicine to alleviate our had-roga, the disease of lust contaminating our hearts. Throughout his epic masterpiece, in the eighth verse of many of the anoapadis, Sri Jayadeva assures us that his words are just the remedy to counteract the foulness of Kali. Sri Gita-govinda is celebrated in the educated society as an exquisite poetic composition that exemplifies the amorous mellow, saigara-rasa. Its author, the revered Sri Jayadeva Gosvami, is also widely accepted as an exceptionally talented poet. However, Sri Gita-govinda is not merely a world-famous poem full of emotive literary ornaments arranged in proper meter. Furthermore, Jayadeva Gosvami is not merely a poet adept in tasteful expressions through the development of his innate abilities. Sri Gita-govinda is the very essence of all the Vedas and Sri Jayadeva Gosvami is the highest class of devotional practitioner and perfected spiritualist, with complete mastery of all Vedic wisdom.
