Vallabhacharya, the founder of the Pusti marg was a poet, scholar and passionate lover of Lord Krishna. Madhurashtakam is one of his immoral compositions, all the more popular because of its simplicity. These set of eight verses talk of Sri Krishna's bewithing personality. His pastimes and His pranks all of which make Him loving and lovable. Pujya Guruji's commentary on this composition gives us a sense of immediacy with highlights of episodes from the lives of recent saints. It also makes us introspect on our hypocrisies which prevent us from flowering with sweetness. But above all, it opens our eyes to the healing energies of the Divine, clothed in a name and form
