Samadhi

A special volume of writings by the founder of Sri Gopinath Gaudiya Math published to commemorate the opening of the samadhi temple built in his honor.

In 2004, Swami B. P. Puri's Samadhi Mandir in Mayapur, India, was completed. The date of its inauguration, agreed upon by astrologers and devotees, was set for March 4th. This publication commemorates that auspicious day.

Samadhiincludes chapters on "Chanting Inattentively," "Spiritual Entry into the Holy Dham," and "Transcending Duality through Service to the Lord." The book also includes an article by Swami B. B. Bodhayan, detailing Swami B. P. Puri's auspicious advent and boyhood pastimes.

Auteur

Swami B. P. Puri (1898-1999), born in Ganganandapur in Jessore district (present-day Bangladesh), dedicated his life, spanning over a century, to the service of his guru. He was the founding Acharya of the Gopinath Gaudiya Math. His writings reflect the disciplined eye of a scholar who expresses profound scriptural conclusions with grace and directness. He taught and exemplified the spiritual concept of pure devotion, or Krishna bhakti, as expressed within the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.
