“I am writing something for those very lucky persons who have greed for rāga (a state of intense absorption in Śrī Kṛṣṇa due to an unquenchable loving thirst for Him), but who cannot find the path to achieve it. This book will be their guide – a moonbeam (candrikā) to illuminate the path (vartma) leading to the loving devotion of the residents of Goloka Vṛndāvana. This path is practically unknown in the world.”

This is how Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura introduced his Śrī Rāga-vartma-candrikā. The Hidden Path of Devotion is a presentation of four classes given on this unparalleled classic.
