The Garga Samhita is a Vaishnavite scripture in Sanskrit that focuses on the Hindu deities Radha and Krishna. It is traditionally credited to the sage Garga, who was the chief priest of Krishna's clan, Yadava. This text is notable for linking Radha, Krishna, and the gopis to the Holi festival.
The Garga Samhita is divided into 11 parts, including narratives about the Pastimes of Radha Krishna in Goloka, the Structure of Goloka, the Divinity of Govardhan Hill and its festivals, Krishna's return to Mathura, his defeat of Kamsa, dialogues between Uddhava and the Gopis, Krishna's deeds and divinity (including his involvement in the Mahabharata War), Balarama's achievements and divinity, and much more.
The book tells the tale of Garga Samhita without the verses, offering a captivating read for practitioners to recall Krishna and his divine play.
