Dandavats. All glories to the Vaisnavas.

Can someone tell me who published this book and where it can be purchased.

I believe it's published by Sarasvati Jayasri Classics, like most of Kapoor's other works. Your best bet is Rasbihari Lal at Loi Bazaar or the ISKCON Vrindavan shop next to the STD; both are selling his books. I don't know of any international outlets. They once had a website, but that seems to be long gone.

The publisher was Badri Narayan Bhagavat Bhushan, who was/is a follower of BR Sridhar Maharaja, one of the most vociferous babaji-opponents (and thus supporter of the 'Dark-age vada'). biggrin.gif

Dear Advaita das,

Dandavats. All glories to the Vaisnavas.

Do I sense sarcasm? tongue.gif

That may actually work out well as Prangovinda is in Vrindavan and is getting ready to send me some books and cd's of your Guruji so I have asked him to try to get me a copy of this book while he is there. Thanks!

I read The Philosophy and Religion of Sri Caitanya some years ago which I remember being a bit difficult to read much at a time due to the writing style. However it was very informative. I also read a good portion of The Saints of Vraja. However I have never owned copies so maybe I will put them on my Christmas list. The way I look at it even if I have been naughty Santa might want me reading these books! biggrin.gif

I'll trade you my copy of "Saints of Bengal" for a new catalytic converter for my spaceship.

Done deal as long as the book doesn't smell of cigars.
