In spite of this extensive notoriety, His identity remains a great enigma. No other Hindu deity is shrouded in as much mystery as He. People from different backgrounds hold diverse opinions about Kṛṣṇa, many of which seem contradictory. They consider Him as a great lover, a skilled statesman, and a highly realized mystic. As an irrepressible lover, He is famous for stealing the clothes of the young gopīs while they were bathing in the Yamunā River and for marrying 16,108 princesses. Yet, as an accomplished mystic, He is esteemed as the speaker of Bhagavad Gītā and as Yogeśvara, the “Master of Yoga,” in which celibacy and reticence are fundamental principles.

As established in Tattva Sandarbha (Anucchedas 50–52) with reference to the Bhāgavata’s second verse (SB 1.1.2), this Purāṇa specifically propounds the supreme\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003edharma\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof humanity, which is love for Bhagavān—our very source and refuge. To be infused with transcendental love for Bhagavān, authentic and unambiguous knowledge about Him and His essential being is of utmost importance. Since Bhagavān has innumerable forms, such as Viṣṇu, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, and Nṛsiṁha, the question must be asked, are They all equiprimordial in their constitutional status or is there some hierarchy of being among Them? To address this question, Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī wrote this book,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eKṛṣṇa Sandarbha.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conventional and for the most part unexamined point of view is that Kṛṣṇa is simply an\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eavatāra\u003c\/em\u003eof Viṣṇu. In\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eKṛṣṇa Sandarbha\u003c\/em\u003e, Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī uproots this misconception, demonstrating that Bhagavān Viṣṇu, being ontologically related to the play of creation and hence to immanence, is Himself implicitly included within a more complete transcendent Whole (\u003cem\u003eavatārī\u003c\/em\u003e), technically known as Svayaṁ Bhagavān, who is clearly identified in the text as Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Although Śrī Jīva previously delineated the ontology of Bhagavān in general terms in Bhagavat Sandarbha, he did not address the question of the identity of Svayaṁ Bhagavān Himself, or Bhagavān in His ownmost essential being, nature, and original form. In this respect, Kṛṣṇa’s status in regard to the various avatāras was not yet made a subject of inquiry. By first establishing a comprehensive universal understanding of Bhagavān in\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBhagavat Sandarbha\u003c\/em\u003e, Jīva Gosvāmī laid the foundation for a detailed investigation into the ontology of Svayaṁ Bhagavān in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eKṛṣṇa Sandarbha\u003c\/em\u003e. His fundamental conclusion in the latter volume is that Kṛṣṇa is the source of all other\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eavatāras\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof Bhagavān and that He has no source other than Himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJīva Gosvāmī’s primary intention in writing this book is to reveal Kṛṣṇa as the supreme object of worship and love. In the very beginning of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTattva Sandarbha\u003c\/em\u003e, he clearly stipulated that the subject of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSix Sandarbhas\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis meant specifically for those whose sole aspiration is to be immersed in the bhajana of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He even declared that the Sandarbhas should be studied only by such devotees. The present Sandarbha is surely in line with this declaration. In order for a devotee to be rightly established in such bhajana, he must have a clear understanding of the true nature of his object of worship. In Kṛṣṇa Sandarbha, Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī provides this distinct and esoteric knowledge of Kṛṣṇa, the supreme worshipable deity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis book is truly a work of genius. No other book in or related to its field of study can compare to it. There have been many essays or short treatises written about Kṛṣṇa, but no one else has afforded this subject such a thorough and systematic treatment. Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī traces out Kṛṣṇa’s factual status among all the avatāras of Bhagavān based upon his careful study of Bhāgavata Purāna. Not only does he demonstrate that Kṛṣṇa is the original form of God, Svayaṁ Bhagavān, he goes a step further to establish a hierarchy within Kṛṣṇa’s own multifaceted manifestations. In this respect, he discloses that Kṛṣṇa as a cowherder and lover in Vraja is superior to His manifestation as a royal statesman in Mathurā and Dvārakā. This fact is so abstruse that even among Vaiṣṇavas, there are some who have difficulty in comprehending and accepting it. This precise realization, however, is crucial for the practice of rāgānugā-bhakti, or pure devotion in the wake of natural affection, which is the subject of the next book in this series,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBhakti Sandarbha.

In doing so, he brings to light the true significance of another key phrase from the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003evadanti\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003everse—namely, that ultimate reality (\u003cem\u003etattva\u003c\/em\u003e) is nondual consciousness (\u003cem\u003eadvaya-jñāna\u003c\/em\u003e).

In the very beginning of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTattva Sandarbha\u003c\/em\u003e, he clearly stipulated that the subject of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSix Sandarbhas\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis meant specifically for those whose sole aspiration is to be immersed in the bhajana of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He even declared that the Sandarbhas should be studied only by such devotees. The present Sandarbha is surely in line with this declaration. In order for a devotee to be rightly established in such bhajana, he must have a clear understanding of the true nature of his object of worship. In Kṛṣṇa Sandarbha, Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī provides this distinct and esoteric knowledge of Kṛṣṇa, the supreme worshipable deity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis book is truly a work of genius. No other book in or related to its field of study can compare to it. There have been many essays or short treatises written about Kṛṣṇa, but no one else has afforded this subject such a thorough and systematic treatment. Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī traces out Kṛṣṇa’s factual status among all the avatāras of Bhagavān based upon his careful study of Bhāgavata Purāna. Not only does he demonstrate that Kṛṣṇa is the original form of God, Svayaṁ Bhagavān, he goes a step further to establish a hierarchy within Kṛṣṇa’s own multifaceted manifestations. In this respect, he discloses that Kṛṣṇa as a cowherder and lover in Vraja is superior to His manifestation as a royal statesman in Mathurā and Dvārakā. This fact is so abstruse that even among Vaiṣṇavas, there are some who have difficulty in comprehending and accepting it. This precise realization, however, is crucial for the practice of rāgānugā-bhakti, or pure devotion in the wake of natural affection, which is the subject of the next book in this series,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBhakti Sandarbha. Kṛṣṇa Sandarbha\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis therefore the most important of all the ontological writings in the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava School, because it unravels the mystery regarding the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava’s worshipable deity, which gives the school its unique identity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eKṛṣṇa Sandarbha\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the fourth book in the series of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSix Sandarbhas.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eŚrī Jīva Gosvāmī wrote the first three\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSandarbhas—Tattva, Bhagavat,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eParamātma\u003c\/em\u003e—based on the\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBhāgavata Purāṇa’s\u003c\/em\u003efamous “\u003cem\u003evadanti\u003c\/em\u003e” verse (SB 1.2.11).

In doing so, he brings to light the true significance of another key phrase from the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003evadanti\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003everse—namely, that ultimate reality (\u003cem\u003etattva\u003c\/em\u003e) is nondual consciousness (\u003cem\u003eadvaya-jñāna\u003c\/em\u003e).

One has to know that one is an integrated part of Bhagavān and not absolutely identical with Brahman, as is understood by the radical nondualists (the Advaita Vedāntīs). Although the living beings and Bhagavān are one in terms of consciousness, a distinction exists between them not only in the phenomenal state but even in the liberated state. The relation between them is thus one of transrational oneness and distinction (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eacintya-bheda-abheda\u003c\/em\u003e), which is the inherent nature of the relation between potency (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eśakti\u003c\/em\u003e) and potent source (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eśaktimān\u003c\/em\u003e).
