ABOUT THE BOOK

Pada-sevanam: Meditation On The Lotus Feet And Hands Of Their Lordships is an intimate, deeply esoteric meditational manual and scriptural compilation rooted in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. The core philosophy of this text centers on pada-sevanam—the devotional limb of rendering direct service and deep internal meditation upon the transcendental forms of the Divine. Rather than functioning merely as an abstract philosophical treatise, the book serves as a highly practical, visual, and contemplative guide for daily japa or sadhana. It provides exhaustive, line-by-line scriptural descriptions, traditional charts, and symbolic explanations of the unique sacred markings, imprints, and opulences found on the lotus feet and hands of key divine figures, including Lord Caitanya, Lord Nityananda, Advaita Acarya, Lord Krishna, and Srimati Radharani. By elucidating the deep spiritual meanings behind symbols like the half-moon, thunderbolt, pitcher, and lotus, the text equips practitioners with a precise system to ground their roaming minds, awaken deep humility, and enter into structured, absorption-based meditation on the absolute beauty of the Supreme.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The volume was meticulously compiled and brought to fruition by Isvara Dasa (often in collaboration with Raktak Dasa), an accomplished author, scholar, and senior spiritual practitioner within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). As the foundational visionary behind Touchstone Media, Isvara Dasa has spent decades translating, archiving, and editing rare Vaishnava literatures and classical commentaries to make them accessible to a modern global audience. His authorial and editorial voice is marked by profound scriptural fidelity, careful structural curation, and a devotional reverence that lets the original words of the acharyas speak for themselves. By designing targeted, beautifully structured meditation tools, his work successfully bridges the gap between historical Vedic manuscripts and the daily spiritual needs of contemporary practitioners worldwide.
