ABOUT THE BOOK 

Sri Gaurakṛṣṇodaya is a masterful Sanskrit epic poem (Mahakavya) that chronicles the life and pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who is revered in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition as the combined avatar of Radha and Krishna.

Originally composed in the 16th century by Govinda Dasa, this specific edition is translated and brought to life by Bhanu Swami. The title literally translates to "The Dawn of the Golden Krishna," symbolizing the appearance of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (Gaura) to spread the "sunlight" of Sankirtana (congregational chanting) during the dark age of Kali Yuga.
