    The Sandarbhas are very brilliant work, and for me, they are the love of my life. When I heard about it, I wanted to study but I didn’t know where I would find the book or how because I was in Detroit. But somehow, by Krishna’s grace, I landed up in Vrindavan and I studied this by a great follower of Jiva Gosvami. So this is my great fortune and I took it as my life mission to read and comment on The Sandarbhas.
