The book "Krishna-Seva: Traditional Ritual in the Practice of Bhakti Yoga", has just been republished in India by the respected academic publisher, Dev Publishers.

We wish to express our hearty gratitude to the Bhaktivedanta Research Centre, Kolkata, for initiating the cooperation with Dev Publishers to bring about the republishing of this book, making it available to a much wider public.

About the book:

In today’s cultural atmosphere of competing spiritualism jostling with vague scepticism and strident “new atheism,” we do well to listen carefully to thoughtfully articulated wisdom of bygone ages. An important voice for finding existential meaning in daily devotional practices (bhakti-yoga) can be heard in the sixteenth-century Caitanya (Gauḍīya) Vaiṣṇava tradition. In this brief but carefully crafted work, the author takes readers step-by-step through the deep reasoning behind these practices with special focus on sevā–conscientious attending–to sacred temple images, concluding with a cogent explanation of why this practice is not to be mistaken for “idolatry”.
