Radical Personalism: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion

How can we be all that we can be today—not tomorrow, but today—as living emblems of devotion, and then facilitate that epiphany in others? What are the fullest implications of being a person, and, even more so, what are the implications of God being a person? What is the highest prospect for these two uniquely personal beings when they relate to each other through love, the most personal of all fundamental interactions? This is Radical Personalism. Padmanabha Swami has done something unique in Radical Personalism. Drawing from the richness of Gaudiya Vaishnavism and other mystical traditions, as well as the multi-disciplines of science, psychology, and sociology, he has taken a broad look at societal and institutional concerns, scriptural misunderstandings and misapplications, and individuals’ psychological hindrances that thwart the embrace of our fullest potential. Exploring in candid detail, with insight and compassion, the complex topics that have troubled many of us in spiritual pursuit, Radical Personalism can clear muddled thinking; instill hope where it is absent; ignite enthusiasm and determination where apathy has taken hold; encourage honesty and dethrone duplicity; bring light where darkness prevails; inspire us to leave aside the pettiness, sectarianism, and fundamentalism that have gripped various Gaudiya groups in recent decades; and usher in a united and vibrant Gaudiya community devoid of the barriers that currently divide us. On the whole, this book is a comprehensive examination of how to return Gaudiya spirituality to a lived mystical tradition, as intended by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
