  Mathura Meets Vrindavan explores the topmost ecstatic love for Krishna that is possessed by the residents of Vrindavan. When Krishna suddenly departed for Mathura He plunged the vrajavasis into an ocean of sorrow. What was His purpose in leaving? What happened when His messenger Uddhava arrived in Vraja with a message of love? And most of all, how is it that Krishna never leaves Vrindavan? 
Combining ecstatic krishna-lila with over 100 specially commissioned traditional Orissan paintings, Mathura Meets Vrindavan gives the feeling of reading an ancient palm-leaf manuscript. Includes  elaborate glossary, verse and subject indexes. 
Hard bound, deluxe printing, 320 pages with 150 in full color. 9-3/4" x 7"
Now available: Black and white pocket version with text only.
