This work of Kavi Karṇapūra is a treatise on poetical theory that encompasses the theory in Rūpa Gosvāmi’s Bhakti-rasamṛta-sindhu. The author follows the literary tradition, drawing from classical works like Kāvya-prakaśa, Sahitya-darpaṇa, Dhvany–aloka and Nāṭya-śāstra and using them in the context of bhakti, with Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs as protagonists.
Students can enter into the relish of Sanskrit poetics through the examples of various forms of poetry that Babaji further commentates and analyzes according to the author’s intention. The study of this subject enables one to properly interpret śāstra such as the Śrīmad Bhāgavata, which uses a broad variety of stylistic means and poetic figures.
Asuras are those who don’t accept or oppose God, or Guru. Asuras won’t go to hell, because they are already in hell. They are carrying the hell in their heart. Don’t try to reason with them because they are only going to disturb your mind, waste your time, and in the end, they are not going to change.
