Preface

In presenting this work to the public, the publisher begs to announce that the author has in a brief compass tried to explain the main features of the Vaisnava philosophy as taught in the school of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Although it may appear at the outset to be very abstruse, the reader will attain a clear appreciation if he takes a little pain to study the subject carefully. The author has expressed his wishes to illucidate any portion which may appear to be inexplicit, and the publisher will always be glad to forward the author any reference directed to his address as below.

Pandit Sitikantha Vachaspati, whose commentaries have been published, is a renowned Sanskrit scholar of Nadia.
