Guest guest Posted January 25, 2001 Report Share Posted January 25, 2001 I just had a peak into Jayadeva Goswami's Gita Govinda, translated by Gadadhara prana dasa. The book is nothing but x-rated which will inflame the passion of any brahmacari or any serious devotee. Gita Govinda is a bonafide scripture that was relished by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. However, unscruplous people have tried to translated this book with their mundane understanding of the Radha-Krishna conjugal dealings. It is quite dangerous, because it will create a huge misunderstanding of the Supreme Lord along with His internal pleasure potency. The alarming part is that this book is being sold in Vrindavana in Los Bazar, where many devotees (old and young alike) who cannot make any discrimination as to what to read and what not to read, are purchasing this book. Is there anything that can be done to stop this? Of course every devotee is independent, but some do aknowledge authourity whether in ISKCON or in Gaudiya Matha. Is there a way to appeal to various leaders in both camps to appeal to their followers about the danger involved in reading such unathourised translation? Your servant, Isvara dasa.
