Jan I don't know where Gitavali was written, but it was first published in 1893. The song 'Jaya Radha Madhava' is part of a section called '®r…kŠera viˆottaraatan€ma.' It is a collection of six songs referred to as 'g…ta,' and 'r€dh€m€dhava kuñjabih€r…' (not preceded by 'jaya'), is labelled 'caturtha g…ta.' (the 'jayas' are not part of the original text). Gaura Arati is the second song in a collection of four songs called €rati-k…rtana. Yasomati-nandana is the first song in a collection of five songs called r…n€ma-k…rtana. Krsna Pranama, Tulasi Pranama, and Tulasi Pradaksina are all printed in Sri-Stava-kalpa-druma, a collection of Vaisnava songs, prayers, mantras etc., which was published by Bhaktisaranga Goswami, a disciple of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, in Imlitala, Vrndavana, 1959. This book does give the name of the author and the work for all stanzas for which these details were known to the compiler. The book contains many mantras, especially pranamas etc., for which no work or author are mentioned, probably because they were unknown to the compiler. The three titles you mentioned belong into this 'unknown' category. ek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
