New Book: Bhaktivinode Vani Vaibhava

[Guest guest]

Sri Bhaktivinoda Vani Vaibhava,

Divine Opulence of the teachings of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura (Volume One)

 

 

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura (1838-1914), was one of the foremost acaryas of

the Gaudiya Vaisnava, and the original pioneer of the modern day Hare

Krishna movement. The essence of his teachings has been presented in

question and answer format in this new book. The answers are directly quoted

from his writings.

 

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada said:

 

"Srila Thakura Bhaktivinoda has taken the trouble of meeting the perverse

arguments of mental speculators by the superior transcendental logic of the

Absolute Truth. It is thus possible for the average modern readers to profit

by the perusal of his writings. That day is not far distant when the

priceless volumes penned by Thakura Bhaktivinoda will be reverently

translated, by the recipients of his grace, into all the languages of the

world.

"The writings of Thakura Bhaktivinoda provide the golden bridge by which the

mental speculators can safely cross the raging waters of fruitless empiric

controversies that trouble the peace of those who choose to trust in their

guidance for finding the Truth. As soon as the sympathetic reader is in a

position to appreciate the sterling quality of Thakura Bhaktivinoda's

philosophy the entire vista of the revealed literatures of the world will

automatically open out to his reclaimed vision."

 

This book has been collected from many wonderful jewels of the literary

ocean of OmVisnupada Srila Thakura Bhaktivinoda Mahasaya, and includes his

essays, stories, novels, books, songs, and poems. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta

Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada ordered one of his foremost disciples, Sripada

Sundarananda Vidyavinoda Prabhu, a staunch follower of Srila Bhaktivinoda's

instructions, to compile this book.

 

This first volume covers sambandha. The other volumes covering abhidheya and

prayojana will be published shortly. By reading this book, one gets a clear

understanding of all aspects of sambandha and deep feeling of the mood and

character of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

 

This first volume is 374 pages, in an attractive hardbound cover with

jacket.
