Sri Garga Muni, a revered sage who lived during Krsna’s earthly incarnation, served as the family priest of the Yadu Dynasty. He conducted the naming ceremony for Krsna and Balarama and was highly respected for his expertise in astrology. Srila Sanatana Goswami regards the Garga Samhita as one of the rare texts that reveals the "confidential science of pure devotional service."
This volume presents the amusing story of gopi Prabhavati capturing the butter thief and her astonishment when she brings him to court. It also includes tales such as the liberation of Sakatasura and Trnavarta, the revelation of the universal form to Nanda’s wife, the marriage of Sri Radhika, the vision of the universal form, the breaking of the two Arjuna trees, Durvasa Muni’s vision of the Maya potency, and his prayers to Nanda’s son.
The book contains complete Devanagari script, Roman transliteration, word-for-word meanings, translations by HG Kusakratha Prabhu, elaborate purports by HH Danavir Goswami, full indexes and a glossary.
