Utkalikā-vallar‪ī‬

Utkalikā means ‘very intense eagerness mixed with extreme restlessness,’ and vallarī means ‘creeper’. Utkalikā-vallarī thus means ‘the vine of intense longings’. In this book, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī reveals the very nature of these longings, which consists solely of the desire to render service to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa as the devoted maidservant of Śrīmatī Rādhikā.


“His sweet devotion to the brilliantly shining amorous rasa is a honeybee whose delightful humming has fully blossomed in this prayer.” -Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja
