Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami was born in Sri Rangam in 1503 to a Vaisnava brahmana family. His father Venkata Bhatta had two brothers, Trimalla Bhatta and Prabhodananda Sarasvati, who were very influential in Gopala Bhatta's life. The father and two brothers were followers of the Ramanujacarya philosophy of qualified monism, and were dedicated followers of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu toured south India in 1512 AD, He spent the four months of the rainy season (Caturmasya) in Sri Rangam staying in the house of Gopala Bhatta's father Trimalla Bhatta, a sevaka at the Sri Ranganatha temple. Gopal Bhatta was a young boy at that time, approximately nine years old. Mahaprabhu had many deep sastric discussions with his father Trimalla Bhatta, convincing him that krsna-bhakti was the topmost form of worship. For his son Gopal Bhatta, Mahaprabhu became his life and soul. Gopala Bhatta would serve Him incessantly. He would wash His clothes, accompany Him to the Kaveri River, and massage His feet. He remained close by Mahaprabhu, and in this way served Him with utmost sincerity.

Gopal Bhatta was known to be not only learned but also very kind hearted. After his parents passed away, he left for Vrndavana to meet with and serve Rupa and Sanatana Gosvami, as instructed by Mahaprabhu.

He meditated on Mahaprabhu's instructions to worship Krsna in Vraja, and accepting the sila to be non-different from the Lord Himself, Gopal Bhatta brought the salagrama sila to Vrndavana and began worshiping Him as Vrajendra-nandana Krsna. One evening in the summer before falling asleep, Gopal Bhatta began remembering Mahaprabhu's promise that he would come to Vrndavana. That night he dreamed of Mahaprabhu and His associates, and upon awakening his 'salagram sila' had transformed into a beautiful deity with a three-fold bending form, and two hands holding a flute. Gazing at the deity, Gopal realized that it was the exact same form that Sri Gauranga had revealed to him earlier in Sri Rangam. This deity became known as 'Radha-Ramana', a manifestation of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

This book is filled with many rasa-laden pastimes and teachings of Gopal Bhatta Gosvami with Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It is a must-read for all Gaudiya Vaisnavas' wanting to understand Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the Gosvamis' of Vrndavan.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
