Sri Sri Prapanna-jivanamritam
Unabridged English edition of Srila Sridhar Maharaj’s 1944 classic compilation highly acclaimed by all of his godbrothers. Described by Srila Govinda Maharaj in his publisher’s note as “the crown jewel of divine literatures”, Sri Sri Prapanna-jivanamritam presents a collection of essential verses in the scriptures delineating the path of surrender in all of its facets, with original aphorisms by Srila Sridhar Maharaj illuminating the inner meaning of each verse. In the words of Srila Govinda Maharaj: “Everything is covered in this book Prapanna-jivanamritam. If you read it minutely you must stand in the plane of dedication. … This is the first book of reading—and this is the last book of reading.”
