Steven J. Rosen's latest work on Sri Chaitanya (1486-1534) follows in a line of publications that are dedicated to disseminating knowledge of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, commonly known in the West as the Hare Krishna movement. A collection of his own essays, written for scholar and practitioner alike, Chaitanyology allows entrance into an otherwise esoteric phenomenon, highlighting both its intellectual and mystical elements. In this volume, we find thoroughly researched accounts of Sri Chaitanya's life narrative as well as articles on key subjects that show why his life has special meaning for practitioners today."Steven J. Rosen's latest contribution to the study of Chaitanya, follows in the wake of his lifelong and voluminous contribution to the field, appreciated by scholars and practitioners alike. Rosen, in his signature fashion, brings a scholarly voice to the life, philosophy and historical background of this consequential spiritual fi gure-a voice that contributes both to academic research in this fi eld, and to the intellectual fabric of practitioners' understanding of their own canonical tradition."Drawing on obscure texts, original research, and the research of numerous scholars, Rosen presents an eminently readable and well researched volume of intriguing detail, documenting little known facts and important observations that are sure to not only allow readers entrance into Chaitanya and his world, but also help one in one's own spiritual quest. Essential reading for both scholars of Indian religion and devotees of all persuasions."- Edwin Bryant, Professor of Hindu Philosophy and Religion, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey

When a girl and her parents visit her aunt and uncle's farm for Easter weekend, they get to experience the joy of all that spring has to offer.

It is fair to say that something is always happening at Santa's home; from naming day parties, experimental toys or playful and mischievous reindeer, something is always happening. Whether it's little Oscar sneaking down to Santa's fridge for an extra bowl of his magical ice cream which is sprinkled with fairy dust and seems to glow and say to Oscar, "eat me, eat me now". Then there are the tricks Rudolf gets up to so he can get a few extra carrots, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage, completely forgetting about the side effects of exceptionally smelly botty burps that lots of Brussels sprouts and cabbage give the reindeer. Then there are the mishaps in Santa's toy workshop such as when a young apprentice elf decides to put some of Santa's magic flying dust for his sleigh on a toy airplane she has made. The airplane goes on a flight around Santa's workshop, stables and home causing all sorts of trouble, particularly in Santa's kitchen where cook is in the middle of making one of Santa's favourite ice creams, raspberry ripple, where the raspberries seem to swim the ripple saying, "catch me if you can". And what about the efforts that the young elves get up to in finding out if they are in Santa's good or naughty book? And then there's the book containing all the good children's names along with the presents they have waiting for them at Christmas.
