> What the opinion of the Gaudiya Vaisnavas about the Garga Samhita/

> I don't find even one reference to it in the entire Vedabase.

 

It is not mentioned in the Gaudiya-Vaisnava-Abhidhana. MMW mentions that it

is the name of a work. I haven't seen any other reference to it in older

literature. There are, however, a couple of interesting links on the net:

 

The web-site below is run by the Sri Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti. They do mention

the Garga-samhita a couple of times.

BHAGAVAD-GITA TRUST

has been established by Jagannatha Das

a disciple of Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana and Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana

descending from Madhvacarya through Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu and is

under the auspices of the Sri Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti Registered in Navadwip,

Bengal, India

 

 

Caitanya Sarawat Math mentiones Garga-samhita as follows:

 

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/g_darshan/t1-math.htm

"Also we are trying to print Sri Garga-samhita. Sripad Sagar Maharaj is

currently preparing this book."

 

 

Garga-samhita as a yet unpublished work of the 1st century AD is mentioned

in the web page below:

 

http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Delta/5349/antiquityastrology.html

"But the most important of the works of this Indian tradition and the oldest

extant one in Sanskrit is the earliest version of the as yet unpublished

Gargasamhita ("Compositions of Garga") of about the 1st century AD."
