New Release from VIHE Publications! We are delighted to announce the release of the latest book by H.G. Bhurijana Prabhu: Toward His Smiling Face: A Detailed Overview of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Cantos 7-9. Toward His Smiling Face is the last in the Overview of Srimad-Bhagavatam series before we arrive at Canto 10. Cantos 7-9 continue the journey toward "the smiling face of Krşņa," revealed in Śukadeva Gosvāmī's pure-hearted account of Krşņa as the fullest expression of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Like the Bhagavatam's earlier cantos, these three cantos don't simply fill space until we arrive at Canto Ten. Just as each of Krsna's limbs has unique charm, so cantos 7-9 provide a rare glimpse into the hearts of exalted devotees and the Lord Himself - drawing us, like travelers coming home, to a face-to-face encounter with Śrī Kṛṣṇa, jewel of Vraja. -

BHĀGAVATA SUBODHINĪ unveils the exciting structure and flow of Srimad Bhagavatam Cantos by giving the connections between the chapters, sections, subsections and verses, in a concise and colorful manner. In this multivolume series, Gauranga Darshan Das attempts to simplify the apparent complexity in understanding the Bhagavatam, by uncovering and integrating the explanations of Srila Prabhupada and the previous acharyas, and thus caters to the taste and need of avid readers, scholars, and even newcomers to the Srimad Bhagavatam. The TENTH CANTO of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam represents the beautiful lotus face of Lord Kṛṣṇa and comprehensively describes the topic of āśraya, or the Supreme shelter Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Śukadeva Gosvāmī ecstatically describes in this longest canto, the appearance of Lord Kṛṣṇa and His pastimes in Vṛndāvana, Mathurā, Dvārakā, Hastināpura and other places. Lord Kṛṣṇa’s unlimited transcendental attributes, His amazing reciprocations with the love of His devotees, and His compassionate deliverance of those who were inimical to Him, as described in this canto, are the worthiest subject matters for one’s contemplation. They constitute the most precious gift for the devotees to absorb themselves in Lord Kṛṣṇa’s glories.

Designating these qualities as feminine does not mean they are reserved only for women. These seven feminine perfections are the qualities of virtuous women. Even a slight reflection of these qualities in women deserves praise. Krishna identifies these attributes as being non-different than Him. A woman who possesses them has been blessed by the Lord. -
