Since ancient times, Hindus have expressed their love and devotion to their deities through beautiful ornamentation -- dressing and decorating the deities with elaborate clothing, jewelry, and flowers. In this pioneering study of temples in Vrindaban and Jaipur, India, Cynthia Packert takes readers across temple thresholds and into the god Krishna's sacred domain. She describes what devotees see when they behold gorgeously attired representations of the god and why these images look the way they do. She discusses new media as well as global forms of devotion popular in India and abroad. The Art of Loving Krishna opens a universe of meaning in which art, religious action, and devotion are dynamically intertwined.

The lives of Srila Prabhupada and his disciples are recounted, encouraging all to follow the devotional path of Bhakti, and be liberated in the eternally blissful spiritual realm. The Mission: Srila Prabhupada and His Divine Agents illustrates the life and teachings of a spiritual visionary, highlighting his enduring and inspiring legacy. The son and successor of the great Gaudiya Vaishnava acharya Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, Srila Prabhupada established the Gaudiya Math, a dynamic spiritual and educational mission with 64 branches in India and several international centers, which have spread the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu around the world. His noble life’s mission, powerful speeches and writings, and devoted disciples and followers continue his legacy of wisdom and divine love. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s philosophy is centered on the ideal that we should be soul conscious, rather than body conscious. The Mission: Srila Prabhupada and His Divine Agents explores and explains how to use this philosophy to deliver oneself from attachments to material existence and achieve the ultimate goal: chanting the Mahamantra with pure devotion.

The Pushtimarg, a Hindu sect established in India in the fifteenth century, possesses a unique culture--reaching back centuries and still vital today--in which art and devotion are deeply intertwined. This important volume, illustrated with more than one hundred vivid images, offers a new, in-depth look at the Pushtimarg and its rich aesthetic traditions, which are largely unknown outside of South Asia. Original essays by eminent scholars of Indian art focus on the style of worship, patterns of patronage, and artistic heritage that generated pichvais, large paintings on cloth designed to hang in temples, as well as other paintings for the Pushtimarg. In this expansive study, the authors deftly examine how pichvais were and still are used in the seasonal and daily veneration of Shrinathji, an aspect of Krishna as a child who is the chief deity of the temple town of Nathdwara in Rajasthan. Gates of the Lord introduces readers not only to the visual world of the Pushtimarg, but also to the spirit of Nathdwara.
