Abstract	"The Yoga of Love explores the Rāsa Līlā, a divine love story from the Bhāgavata Purāṇa that centers on the spiritual union of Krishna and the Gopīs in a cosmic dance of devotion. Through 16 chapters, it addresses key theological and philosophical dimensions of bhakti, or devotional love, within Vaishnavism. The work begins by contextualizing the Rāsa Līlā within Hindu literature and tradition, emphasizing its unparalleled role in revealing divine intimacy. It then discusses the symbolic, ethical, and transformative nature of the Gopīs' love for Krishna, illustrating how this relationship surpasses social norms and transcends mortality.
