Not to be confused with Prema-Bhakti-Candrikā by Narottama dāsa, Bhakti-Candrikā was written by Lokānanda Ācārya upon hearing it from Śrīman Narahari, a close associate of Śrīman Mahāprabhu.

As the book deals with Śrī Caitanya mantra and its various versions, as well as different kinds of nyāsa, yantra, pūjā, meditation, process of dīkṣā, sādhana rules etc, it is not very well known. Mahārājjī himself notes in the preface that “although this book is highly authoritative, it has not been published extensively, because it delineates the practice of mantra.” Since mantra formation and its sādhana have usually been kept away from the public eye, many Vaiṣṇavas do not yet know the contents of this work.
