Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura wrote the Sri Amnaya Sutra in 1890. It is largely based on the Upanisads and contains 130 aphorisms, along with commentary. As it is said, “Essential truth spoken concisely is true eloquence,” This wonderful book is the perfect example of this. Here we find all the basic understandings of the Krsna conscious philosophy, and refutations of the arguments that attempt to counter such an understanding, presented in a very concise, progressive, and masterly way.
Concept of Bhakti according to Chaitanya (Sect) in Vaishnavism.
Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga has been composed by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, a renowned Gaudiya Vaishnava acharya, whose contribution to the Brahma-Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya is invaluable. At a time when the science of pure devotional service (Bhakti) had almost become lost due to the cultural and religious chauvinism of the ruling British, and the essence of Vaishnavism largely discredited due to the perverted actions and lifestyles of a few non bonafide Vaishnava sects, Srila Bhaktivinoda was largely responsible for rescuing and unearthing the timeless teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. In Fact, it was he who, after conducting painstaking research, had rediscovered the long lost birthsite of Sri Gaurasundara at Yogpeeth. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura was not only a magistrate but also a renowned and recognized scholar in his days, with vast knowledge in english,bengali,hindi,oriya and sanskrit.He was also a member of the royal asiatic society of London. He was instrumental in unearthing several ancient manuscripts like Chaitanya-upanishad (a portion of Atharva Veda) , Sri Krishna Vijaya, etc. We are exceedingly honored and feel ourselves blessed to have been able to translate this book in English and present it 'as it is' for the pleasure of the devotees. The Book is comprehensive with attractive pictures and contains an easy how-to-reach to the respective destinations.Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga talks in detail about the various exalted sites of Navadvipa, some of which are visible to the ordinary eye and some which are not. For example Srila Bhaktivinoda talks about an enchanting garden in this book, where Lord Gauranga manifests His eternal pastimes. This garden, which he refers to as 'Ishodyan' is invisible to ordinary vision. He goes onto describe Ishodyan as replete with wonderful trees and chirping birds, who constantly sing the glories of Lord Gauranga. There is also a beautiful lake and a temple which adorns this transcendental garden. The temple is bedecked with gold, diamonds, blue and yellow sapphires. However to the material vision, the place where this garden is located, seems to be a waste land overgrown with thorns. Several other exalted sites of Navadvipa have been mentioned in this book, which are of paramount importance to a sincere spiritual seeker. Places like Arka Tila (where the sun god is eternally engaged in worshiping Lord Gauranga), Jahnu Muni's ashrama (only an ancient tree remains at this place), Vidyanagara (the seat of all learning), Yogpeeth (birthplace of Lord Gauranga), Bharadvaja tila (where Bharadvaja muni meditated upon Gauranga), Panchaveni, Panchavakra Shiva Tola, Poramatola, Nrsimhapalli (where Lord Nrsimhadeva took rest after killing Hiranyakashipu), Suvarna vihara, Vishrama-sthala (where the devotees rested after performing Kirtana), Naimisharanya (where the sages received darsana of Lord Gauranga), etc are replete with causeless mercy and are witness to enchanting pastimes of the Lord and His eternal associates. In fact the scriptures state unambiguously that the pastimes of Lord Gauranga are eternally taking place in this sacred abode of Navadbvipa and is visible even today to those who are fortunate. Sri Narottama das Thakura sings in one of his bhajans that Navadvipa is Chintamani dham (completely spiritual) and is full of wish-fulfilling trees. Anyone who takes shelter of this abode, achieves the supreme perfection of his spiritual life. Navadvipa is the embodiment of all Tirthas, who reside and render service to this sacred abode. Navadvipa has been glorified as 'sarva Dhama sar' or the essence of all the holy abodes. What one attains by travelling to all the holy places is attained just by remembering the transcendental abode of Navadvipa. Srila Bhaktivinoda assures that anyone who reads this book with faith and devotion, shall be accepted amongst the most intimate associates of Sri Gaurahari.
Mandala Publishing Group was established in 1987 to increase awareness of and appreciation for the culture and philosophy of ancient India's Vedic tradition. The Vedas are the oldest and largest body of literature in existence. Although originally an oral tradition, its written language, Sanskrit, is known by linguists as the mother of all languages. The Vedas outline the natural role of individuals in harmony with both the metaphysical and spiritual worlds. Enlightening and inspiring us to progress toward a spiritual goal, Vedic wisdom reminds us of our true nature. Within the four Vedas, a divine conception of art, music, poetry, theology, medicine, and even economics describes a central aim of uplifting human society toward spiritual fulfillment. The mission of Mandala Publishing Group is to make this great knowledge accessible to today's readers. Mandala sponsors cultural dance performances, art exhibits, and work shops, and funds many architectural preservation projects in India's holy cities. Preserving diverse cultures and protecting the environment are synonymous in the Vedic tradition -- where consciousness is honored in all living things -- and throughout creation -- where the ultimate truth is beauty. We hope our readers will learn and benefit from this great tradition and apply its timeless wisdom in their daily lives. The nine islands of Nabadwipa, the pastimes that occurred there, and their spiritual significance.
