Namami Krsnasundaram course (2012-2014)
The course consisted of classes on each of the chapters of this book by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. All the book deals with two sides of Krishna’s personality: that of Krishna the enchanting child and youth which lived in the villages of Gokula and Vrindavana; and that of Krishna the king of Mathura and architect of the Mahabhata campaign and war. One of the topics was the study of different schools of Indian philosophy in terms of their basic propositions as compared to the words and actions of Lord Krishna.
The book also explores the concept of aesthetic science as a mutual attraction between the finite beings and the Supreme Entity through the different types of perceptible vibrations; and the exposition by the author of a supra-aesthetic science, in which all finite beings are attracted and gradually merge into the Infinite Entity, which is beyond all vibrations and expressions.
