Namaste.

 

I wonder if it is the same Jnanananda Bharati who wrote many books on

the Sringeri Paramarcharyal Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Swamigal?.

 

Sri Jnanananda Bharati wrote books such as

 

* Sparks from a Divine Anvil

* Dialogues with the Guru (one of the first ever vedanta books I

read. The dialogue on free will vs fate in this book is a classic)

* The Saint of Sringeri

 

I also saw that TattvaLoka magazine had published an article based on

His other book "The Great Equation"

(http://www.vidya.org/tattvaloka/english/default.htm)

 

Here is the description of the book Sri Kamesh mentioned from

http://www.tamilcinema.com/samata/page8.html:

 

THE ESSENCE OF

YOGAVAASISHTHA

COMPILED BY SRI JNANANANDA BHARATI

TRANSLATED BY SAMVID

Yogavaasishtha or Yogavaasishtha Maharamayana is reputed to consist

of 32,000 slokas. According to the late Sri Bhagavan Das, Pandit

Vrndavana Sarasvata of Benares who passed away in the year 1905 had

read through this great work 165 times "and the work consists of

64,000 lines" i.e. 32,000 slokas. However, the printed editions

consist of nearly 28,000 slokas. The complete edition is perhaps

available in private collections.

It is not easy to condense such a great book of Vedanta, often

referred to in appreciative terms, by Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

and other sages and scholars. There is an abridgement known as Laghu

Yogavasishtha consisting of 6000 slokas. Sri Vasishthasangraha which

forms the text of this publication is a condensation of the original

in 1698 slokas. Sri Swami Jnanananda Bharathi who made this

compilation, maintaining the continuity and retaining the flow of the

teaching, should have read the Yogavasishtha several times and

mastered it, as a perusal of the work will show.

 

THE ESSENCE OF YOGAVAASISHTHA, the fifth book in the Samata Series of

Spirirutal Classics, meets the felt need of many seekers of knowledge

in India and abroad. The language of the text as of other scriptural

texts in Sanskrit is as simple as the thought is subtle and

inspiring.

 

 

Demy 8vo xxvi + 334 pp. Hard cover Price $ 20/-

 

5th reprint 1998

Sanskrit Text with English Translation

Dear Mr. Kamesh,

 

My name is R Sankar, grandson of Sri. R Krishnaswamy Iyer (Poorvashrama name of Sri. Jnanananda Bharathi Swaminah). You may go thro' the website of Gnanananda Bharathi to know more about Sri. Gnanananda Bharathi Swaminah.

 

My father, Sri. K Ramachandran, son of Sri. R Krishnaswamy Iyer, was the legal heir and copy right owner of all the workings of Sri. R Krishnaswamy Iyer (a) Sri. Jnanananda Bharathi Swaminah. Now, we have formed a Trust in the name of Gnanananda Bharathi Grantha Prakasana Samithi to renovate the adhistam (Samathi) of Sri. Jnanananda Bharathi Swaminah and to reprint some of his books and the copy rights are rests with the Trust.

 

I am surprised that Yoga Vashishta has been reprinted and is being sold by you (as per your mail, the cost is $ 20) without our knowledge.

 

Though we have no objection in reprinting the books of Sri. Jnanananda Bharathi Swaminah, we expect a basic courtesy from the people, who reprints, to keep us informed and take a written approval from us to avoid any duplication and litigation later on.

 

Pls treat this as personal letter and send us your reply to my mail ID

Regards

 

R Sankar

 

 

Namaste,

 

it is the same Sri Jnananda Bharathi Mahaswaminah who wrote Books on Sri

Chandrasekara Bharathi mahaswaminah..
