Online Resouces & Articles
Bhagavad Gita Blog - This is a much more recent site (about a year old) in which I go through the complete Gita and explain my understanding of relevant topics in that beautiful book.
Bhagavad Gita Explained - On this site (which I created about 10 years ago) I rather thoroughly explain in pretty clear terms the deep and sublime philosophies explained by Krishna in the classic Hindu text: Bhagavad Gita ("The Song of Godhead").
Bhakti Rasa-amrita Sindhu - "The Ambrosial Ocean of Devotion." This may be a rather advanced reading for the casual passer by - but it is nevertheless full of wonderful insights into the nature of love itself. Mainly divine love, but the subject pertains to worldly love as well, since the later is a reflection of the former. This is my overview and partial translation of a mideval text by the great Rupa Goswami. Written about 10 years ago.
