Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga has been composed by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, a renowned Gaudiya Vaishnava Acharya, whose contribution to the Brahma-Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya is invaluable. Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga talks in detail about the various exalted sites of Navadvipa, some of which are visible to the ordinary eye and some which are not. In fact, the scriptures state unambiguously that the pastimes of Lord Gauranga are eternally taking place in this sacred abode of Navadvipa and is visible even today to those who are fortunate. Any devotee who recites this book, this beautiful piece of literature composed by Srila Bhaktivinoda, is herein assured to be accepted amongst the most intimate associates of Sri Gaurahari. Sri Svarupa Damodara is very dear and the personal secretary of Lord Gauranga. One who receives his mercy is undoubtedly the most fortunate and attains the association of Lord Gauranga-sundara. Sraddhaya padibe yei e bhava taranga Udibe tahara mone Gaura Rasa ranga Sri Svarupa Damodara tare kari daya Laibe nijera gane diya pada chhaya (Text 168, Navadvipa Bhava Taranga) - The joy of devotion unto Lord Gauranga will arise within those who recite ‘Navadvipa Bhava Taranga’ with faith. Sri Svarupa Damodara will bestow his mercy upon such a person and accept him as his personal associate while giving him the shades of his feet.
