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.

 

Bindu is a free service to the Vaishnavas that will come out every two weeks

conveniently delivered to your email address. The premier issue has already

been released and the first regular issue will appear on Varuthini Ekadasi,

19 April.

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…
