Book Description

January 1995
Messages about sexuality abound everywhere in our culture-in movies, in advertising, in the way we dress. Yet how much wisdom about sexuality do we really encounter? Frustrated by the lack of any higher understanding about sex many have turned to the ancient teachings of the East for an answer. is the most definitive book on ancient India's concept of sexuality and the soul ever to be published. In this book, Swami Tripurari meets our desire for a higher realization of our sexual and spiritual potential with deep insights into just how bright our spiritual future can be.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book is an absolute treasure and it is delightful to read. You have given the world a prize jewel a book that will teach people to love each other and the Lord, as well.

From the Author

While analysing the mind-set of the spiritual seeker while living in the holiest of places, Sri Vrindavan, I began to develop the chapters of this book. It is a book about just how different sexuality is from spirituality and how, ironically, the two, sex and the soul, are at the same time inseperable. Pure sexuality is the purest spirituality. The nine chapters of this book qualiify this statement, distinguising spirit from matter while establishing the novel idea that the soul has emotions and a sexuality of its own separate from the flesh. This is the precious gift of Sri Caitanya to the world.

The self-evident nature of the teaching of Sri Caitanya is its beauty. This book culminates in what appears in the mundane sense to be lawless (and thereby irreligious and nonspiritual) love. This revolutionary concept is called parakiya bhava. In human society to date, nothing higher has been told about the possibilities for loving relationships with Godhead. In this teaching lies the truth of the sexuality of the soul .

We live in postmodern times, and the religon of divine love of Sri Caitanya is the fulfillment of these times. It can save us from the frustration arising from the fact that we are now, after more than two centuries of so-called resason and enlightenment, morally and spiritually bankrupt. This frustration, although leading us away from senseless sense indulgence to a new and nonmaterial life, does not contain the potential to deliver a life of spiritual love. Sri Caitanya's prema-dharma does. This book, Rasa, explores how this is so.
