Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Dear friends, I have a copy of M. R. Sampathkumar's book published by Anantacharya Indological Research Institute, G.D. Somani Memorial Building, Cuffe Parade. Bombay 400 005. It has the Sanskrit moolam. It is one of the most authentic translations I have seen. If you have someone in Madras, I think, you can arrange to get it from Jayalakshmi Book Depot in Mylapore. Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Dear Bhagavatas, I am trying to locate a copy of Ramanuja's Gitabhashya in Sanskrit (Devanagari script).

It is very good, it includes the original devanagari for both the verses and commentary, as well as English translations of both. I don't have the ISBN #, but it is one of the books I am hoping to acquire on my trip to India this year. All I remember about it was that it had a white cover with colored letters in the title. Of course, it might have been published differently. Look for Ramakrishna Mission publications under the name Swami Adidevananda; i'm sure you will find it. - K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Swami Adidevananda's translation (a very good one, I might add) is available at Amazon.com. See http://www.best.com/~mani/sv/books/books.html If you are going to be in Madras, you can publish M.R. Sampatkumaran's translation with notes from Desika's Tatparyacandrika. However, this edition does not have the Sanskrit mUlam. Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Dear members, Both books M.R Sampath kumaran ( MRS) and Swami Adidevananda (SA) are somewhat tough to read since the english translations are complicated, more so with M.R Sampathkumaran's book than Swami Adidevananda's. However, a summary of Ramanuja Bhasya by S.S Raghavachar - "Ramanuja on Gita" available from Ramakrishnashrama press anywhere or Vivekananda Vedanta society, is a great book for starters who just want a quick essence or Sri Ramanuja Bhasya. However, sentence to sentence translation is provided in MRS and SA. Krishna Kalale Ramanbil [sMTP:Ramanbil] Monday, March 22, 1999 3:45 PM bhakti Re: Gitabhashya Dear friends, I have a copy of M. R.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Dear Anbil Maama, Thanks for your note. I think I was unclear in my previous email. M.R. Sampatkumaran's translation of the Gitabhashya has the Sanskrit mUlam of the Gita, but not the mUlam of Ramanuja's bhashya. I think everyone who has any interest in the Gita or Ramanuja should obtain Sri Sampatakumaran's translation. A devout student of Visishtadvaita, he studied the bhashya in the traditional manner under Sri Karappangadu Venkatachariar Swami, an outstanding acharya of modern times. rAmAnuja dAsan, Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
