<a id="line-1"></a>relishable is manasananda. This is what is called the  
<a id="line-2"></a>brajras. This is the most delectable of all rasas. This book  
<a id="line-3"></a>Shyama Shyam Geet has been written with the brajras as  
<a id="line-4"></a>the core content. The most intimate loving pastimes of  
<a id="line-5"></a>Shri Radha Krishna have been presented in the form of  
<a id="line-6"></a>1008 couplets. In addition to the pastimes the related  
<a id="line-7"></a>doctrinal aspect has also been dealt with in the book.  
<a id="line-8"></a>The oneness of Radha-Krishna, and yet Radha being the  
<a id="line-9"></a>personified form of the madanakhya mahabhava, the highest  
<a id="line-10"></a>stage of divine love, Lord Krishna’s fascination for and  
<a id="line-11"></a>subservience to Her love, distinctive qualities of Gopis’  
<a id="line-12"></a>love and many other things useful for the devotional  
<a id="line-13"></a>practice have been expounded in great detail in the book.  
<a id="line-14"></a>The entire subject matter is in complete agreement with  
<a id="line-15"></a>the Puranas, the Vedas and other scriptures as well as  
<a id="line-16"></a>the views and statements of the various Saints. If anyone  
<a id="line-17"></a>derives even the least benefit from this text, I shall  
<a id="line-18"></a>consider my effort a success.  
<a id="line-19"></a>veda-śhastra sammata, aru mata bāmā  
<a id="line-20"></a>śhyāmā-śhyāma-gīta, prīti hita śhyāma śhyāmā
