Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 FYI... Tue, 17 Apr 2001 15:37:38 -0700 (PDT) M. Tandy <mpt M. Tandy <mpt Sri Krishna Kathamrita Bindu (fwd) ----Begin forward-------\ --- ISKCON Gopaljiu Publications is pleased to announce the launching of "Sri Krishna Kathamrta Bindu", a free bi-weekly email mini-magazine, published every ekadasi, dedicated exclusively to Krishna Katha. Like the bigger Sri Krishna-kathamrta magazine, it is designed for those who want to go deep into the pastimes, philosophy, literature and history of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Bindu will feature regular articles from previous acaryas such as Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada, Srila Thakur Bhaktivinode, Viswanath Chakravarti, Rupa Goswami, etc., as well as new translations, research findings and contemporary articles. We have taken the liberty to add your name to our initial subscription list because we feel that you'll like Bindu and will appreciate the drops of nectar every two weeks, conveniently delivered to your email address. The premier issue is being sent to you simultaneously attached to a separate text. (If somehow you do not receive it please contact us.) The first regular issue will appear on Varuthini Ekadasi, 19 April. If you are not interested in subscribing to this free service, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Just send a blank email to minimag and type "Un" in the subject line and you will be automatically removed from our list. In upcoming issues you can look forward to reading excerpts from the lives of great acaryas such as Rasikananda Prabhu, Birchandra Prabhu, and Gangamata Goswamini, new translations of stories from different Puranas as well as little known but highly respected Gaudiya Vaishnava literatures such as, "Mahabhava Prakash", written in the 1500's by Kahnai Kuntia, an Orissan associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu; "Sri Abhiram Lilamrta", written in the mid-1500s by Srila Tilak Ram Das, a disciple of Srila Abhiram Thakur; "Sri Prema Vilas", written in the early 1600's by Srila Nityananda Das, a disciple of Jahnava Devi; "Sri Karnananda", written in 1607 by Srila Yadunandan Das Thakur; and "Sri Bhakti Ratnakara", written in the late 1700's by Srila Narahari Chakravarti etc, etc... Each Bindu will be an easily digestible four pages long, and will be published in "PDF" format. To read them you will need to have some version of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your system. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free software. If you do not already have a copy you can download it from www.adobe.com. Sri Krishna Kathamrita Bindu is inspired by our beloved spiritual master Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami, who desired that devotees work to uphold the prestige of Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON movement by propagating nectarean Krishna-katha. It is our hope that these drops of Krishna-katha will help to enliven the preachers in this movement who are working hard all over the world to spread Krishna consciousness.

Contact us at: katha We will consider our endeavor a success if this brings a little pleasure to the Vaishnavas.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Wow! This sounds great. I wonder if I should try to get the mailings sent directly to achintya. Any thoughts on this? - K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
