Krsna Sandarbha WITHIN the entire gamut of Vedic literature, ?r? Kr??a Sandarbha stands out as a unique and brilliant investigation into the constitutional being of Svayam Bhagav?n. Who or what Bhagav?n actually is in His own identity is not at all clear to people in general and also to the majority of spiritual practitioners. Prior to discussing Bhagav?n in general in Bhagavat Sandarbha and Svayam Bhagav?n in particular in this fourth volume, ?r? d?va Gosv?m? laid the foundation for an existentially grounded inquiry in the first volume itself, by making evident the primordial and fundamental nature of the Reality (tattva) to be investigated as nondual consciousness (advaya-j�?na). On this basis, ?r? J?va proceeds in this volume to establish Krsna as Svaya? Bhagav?n, the same nondual reality in its highest completion. This is the principal theme of Krsna Sandarbha. This is also one of the chief distinctive features of the Gaudiya School of Vai?navism. Although it contravenes the popular belief of Hindu indologists, this understanding is crucial for the highest type of devotion, uttama-bhakti, known as r?g?nug?. ?r?J?va Gosv?m? thus endeavors to dispel any doubts in this regard. This is his unique contribution to Hindu theology.
