Purwarag Book By Gita Vatika | पूर्वराग | Hanuman Parshad Poddar Bhai ji

Purwarag पूर्वराग  is a divine poetic masterpiece composed by the revered saint Hanuman Prasad Poddar Ji (Bhai Ji) of Gita Vatika, Gorakhpur. This sacred text captures the spiritual and emotional awakening of divine love—the moment when the soul first perceives the eternal beauty and sweetness of Shri Krishna.

The book beautifully depicts the state of divine attraction Purwarag (पूर्वराग)—that tender phase of love before union, where the heart is irresistibly drawn to the Supreme Beloved. Through enchanting verses and sublime devotion, Bhai Ji reveals the inner emotions of the devotee’s heart, intoxicated by the vision of Shri Nand-Nandan Krishna on the banks of the Yamuna.

Each verse overflows with bhava (divine emotion) and ras (spiritual essence), inspiring readers to immerse themselves in Krishna-prema, the purest form of love.

✨ Highlights:

• Beautiful poetic expressions of Radha-Krishna love and devotion.

• Explains the spiritual psychology of divine attraction (Purwarag).

• Reflects the Rasik tradition of Bhakti as lived by the saints of Vrindavan.

• Ideal for devotees seeking inner connection and emotional bhakti.

• Authored by Hanuman Prasad Poddar Ji, founder of Gita Press & Gita Vatika.

🌸 Excerpt from the Book:

“जब तैं मैं देखे नंद-नंदन, खेलत यमुना-कूल री।
तब तैं कूल को कूल बही गयो, रह सब सुध-बुध भूल री॥”

This verse encapsulates the moment of divine enchantment — when the devotee’s senses dissolve in the beauty of Krishna, and all worldly consciousness fades away.
