>>38457735It is a collection of two works by Rupa Goswami, a Gaudiya Vaishnava acharya or guru in the line of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The Uddhava Sandesh references an incident in the 10th canto of the Bhagavat Purana wherein Krishna sends his servant Uddhava to Vrndavana to speak to the Gopis. Therein is discussed what the highest form of devotional mood is, that of separation from the beloved. The Hamsaduta (Swan Messenger) is a similar poem about the Gopis of Vrndavana sending a message to Krishna through a swan. It similarly emphasizes love in the mood of separation. Swami Tripurari is a guru with a small offshoot movement from ISKCON in Northern California.I would be very careful associating with ISKCON or any of its offshoots. In fact, I advise everyone to avoid them completely, even their translations and interpretations of Gaudiya literature. There is a former member of Tripurari Swamis group on Youtube who speaks extensively on how he was human trafficked and made to collect donations. As far as the works of Rupa Goswami, they are a very high subject matter within Gaudiya theology. If one is interested in that theology, it is better to work your way up to that. Jumping into Rupa Goswami is a bit like a new Catholic or non-Catholic skipping the entrance literature and education, baptism, confirmation, eucharist and jumping into the esoteric books within the Popes personal library.
