New Book!

Sri Bhaktivinoda Vani Vaibhava,

Volume 2 &3, Abhidheya and Prayojana

The Divine Opulence of the Teachings of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

 

Dear Vaishnavas,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

It is great pleasure to announce the release of the second and third volume

of Sri Bhaktivinoda Vani Vaibhava, the divine opulence of the teachings of

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. It has been quite a privilege to finally release

the English edition of this wonderful book that covers all the teachings of

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura was one of the foremost acaryas of the Gaudiya

Vaishnavas. He wrote extensively on Vaishnava philosophy, and set the stage

for the spread of Lord Caitanya's Sankirtana movement throughout the world.

He was a great visionary and a Vaishnava saint. In 1896, he made a bold

prediction that people from all corners of the world will very soon assemble

in Mayapura, with Lord Caitanya's banners in their hands, hands raised

upwards, and congregational chant the holy names of Krishna, along with

their Bengali brothers. That prediction later became fulfilled less than 100

years later.

 

The present publication of Bhaktivinoda Vani Vaibhava covers Abhideya and

Prayojana. Vaishnava philosophy is divided into three sections. These are

Sambandha, Abhideya and Prayojana. Sambandha is about our relationship with

the Supreme Lord, and His creations. Abhideya is about the activities that

we do to revive our eternal loving relationship with the Lord. Prayojana is

the ultimate goal of life, love of God. Sri Bhaktivinoda Vani Vaibhava,

following the footsteps of the writings of previous acaryas such as Srila

Jiva Goswami is divided according to these three Vaishnava's precepts. The

book is in question and answer format throughout. Sripad Sundarananda

Vidyavinoda, one of the prominent disciples of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta

Sarasvati Thakura, composed the questions, on the order of his spiritual

master, and the answers were taken directly from the writings of Srila

Bhaktivinoda Thakura. Each answer is supplied with references from all the

books and writings of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. The first volume covering

Sambandha was released last year and it contains 40 chapters. With great

happiness, we now release the final two volumes in one book, containing 68

chapters.

 

The book is 475 pages, in attractive hardbound. It is dedicated to His

Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the greatest Vaishnava

saint of our time, who fulfilled the prediction of Srila Bhaktivinoda

Thakura, by making available Krishna consciousness movement all over the

world.
