I am finally reading a book that a devotee sent me years ago entitled "Aesthetic Vedanta" written by Swami B. V. Tripurari. I am very much enjoying the book so far although I think some of the ideas expressed might be a little over my head. The main topic of discussion is the Rasa Lila, which from my understanding is a portion of the Srimad Bhagavatam where Krishna meets Radha and other Gopis.
Could someone please confirm and or expand on this ?
Also, if you've read the book please let me know what you thought of it or what you think of the author ?

what does maharaja mean ? I always thought it meant King, but I don't think that's right. -
