The Yoga of Love offers a new translation of the dramatic love poem the R¿sa L¿l¿, which is the ultimate focal point of one of the most treasured Sanskrit texts of India, the Bh¿gavata Pur¿¿a. Judged a literary masterpiece by Indian and Western scholars alike, this work of poetic genius and soaring religious vision is one of the world's greatest sacred love stories and, as Graham M. Schweig demonstrates in his commentary, should be regarded as India's Song of Songs.
