Among the priceless books contributed by Srila Sanatana Goswami to the literary heritage of the Gaudiya Vaishnavas, his Sri Krishna-lila-stava is the shortest and simplest. An offering of praise in 432 verses, it gives a personal meditation of Krishna's Vrindavana pastimes as told by Shukadeva in Srimad-Bhagavatam.

In Sri Krishna-lila-stava, Sril Sanatana Goswami evokes remembrance of Krishna's childhood pastimes by summarizing Shukadeva's narration in simple verses. These verses give us a taste of Krishna's Vrindavana pastimes, one after another, thus immersing us in the nectar of the Bhagavatam.

Words of appreciation from the first readers:

"Thank you so much for sending me a copy of the Sri Krishna-lila-stava. I am reading it like anything and appreciate really the wonderful and devotionally rich text. Some wonderful editing was done on it. Especially 'we are like confession of the pain of helplessness' on page 299. It really helps me very much. This Krishna-lila-stava is simply wonderful. I will read it again and again as a daily devotional practice." (Sacinandana Swami)

"Want to have the company of our previous acharyas? What better way than to read Srila Sanatana Goswami's Sri Krishna-lila-stava. Lord Chaitanya spent more time instructing Sanatana Gowami than anyone else. If we want to share in that ecstasy, what better way than to hear from him? Especially sweet is this Krishna-lila-stava because Srila Sanatana Goswami wrote it specifically to taste the ecstasy of offering 108 obeisances to the Vrindavana pastimes of Krishna.
This brief summary of those pastimes is written in the vocative case, which is the most personal and simple way of expressing ideas in Sanskrit. That simplicity is reflected in the translation, making this work especially sweet and simple reading. These sutra-like shlokas are meant to jog the memory and aid in the remembering the details of Krishna's pastimes we hear in Srimad-Bhagavatam, and in Srila Sanatana's classic Brihad-bhagavatmrita." (Kesava Bharati dasa Goswami)

"This elegant new book is a small masterpiece. Well done! I am
reading it during Karttika. Thank you all for your fine service to the BBT." (Tattvavit dasa)

"Thank you very much for the very pleasant surprise of the copy of Srila Sanatana Goswami's Sri Krishna-lila-stava. I don't know if that was your plan but it arrived the morning of Janmastami, which made it especially sweet and auspicious. I spent some time in the afternoon reading it with great satisfaction before our public festival started.
Surely Sri Krishna and Srila Sanatana Goswami will give you some special mercy for printing and distributing this wonderful book." (Badrinarayana dasa)

"The book is really wonderful from all aspects. Thank you from the depth of my heart." (Anakadundubi dasa)
