Introduction
I feel supremely happy today that the faithful reader is being presented with this Hindi edition of Sri Camatkara-candrika, composed by Sirila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur. He is the highly exalted preceptor (maha-mahopadhyaya) and crown-jewel of the Sri Gaudiya Vaisnava  acaryas. Among all artists who depict Sri Radha-Govinda’s pastimes, he is the most expert. 
 
This incomparable narrative poem have been painted with the soft brush of his supremely sweet and natural prema-bhakti and the colour of the all enchanting nectar of rasa. This literary composition consists of four astonishing and delightfully charming stories of the mischievous meetings of the Divine Couple, Sri Radha-Krsna. It is presented for rasika and bhavuka readers, as well as sadhakas who desire to taste vraja-rasa.
 
Sirila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur has cleverly crafted this poem with simple yet profound language, in such a way that the charming transcendental sentiments of these four pastimes will astound and infatuate the hearts of all devotees who are expert in tasting transcendental sentiments. These pastimes are filled with the transcendental mellow of laughter (hasya-rasa), which will submerge all readers in an ocean of blissful delight.
 
The scriptures on rhetoric say, “rase sarah camatkarah - the essence of rasa is astonishment.”   This book is the very essence of rasa, and thus it derives its name, Camatakara-candrika - a moonbeam of complete astonishment.
