We have now the new book by Krishna Ksetra Prabhu:

 

Krsna-seva: The Theology of Deity Worship in Caitanya Vaisnavism

 

Softbound, 122 pages, size 15 x 22.5 x 0.8 cm, weight: 220 grams.

Price: 9.95 Euro order code: PH-KS

 

After a brief look at Caitanya Vaisnava epistemology, and the

avatara-theology in this tradition, the author explains basic principles of

the bhakti-theology, and the concept of sadhana or practice, and how sound

and form interrelate to allow a sentient being to become spiritually

elevated. "Arcanam versus Idolatry" aims at comperative theology, whereby

image worship in the Krishna-bhakti tradition of Caitanya Vaisnavism is

juxtaposed with biblical objections to image worship. Here again, the focus

is on the nature of bhakti, conceived as the ultimate modus of spirituality,

leading toward and bringing about prema, or unfettered love for the supreme

Being, God, or Krishna.

 

This book is addressing the following questions:

 

In which sense can apparently immovable material object be considered

saintly and thus worthy of worship?

 

How is the practise of arcanam (formal deity worship) considered to be a

means for approaching and being approached by God?

 

Is there a common ground relating arcanam, the Caitanya Vaisnava tradition,

and Judeo-Christian tradition which dismisses all types of "idolatry"?
