Amogha: That we should not try to read Bhaktivinoda's books or earlier books of other acaryas. So I was just wondering. Prabhupada: I never said that. Amogha: You didn't say that? Oh. Prabhupada: How is that? Amogha: I thought you said that we should not read the previous acarya's books. Prabhupada: No, you should read. Amogha: We should. Prabhupada: It is a misunderstanding..we are following the previous acaryas. I never said that." In the purport to Caitanya-caritamrta Adi-lila 5.203, Srila Prabhupada wrote: "Sri Sanatana Gosvami Prabhu, the teacher of the science of devotional service, wrote several books, of which the Brhad-bhagavatamrta is very famous. Anyone who wants to know about the subject matter of devotees, devotional service, and Krsna must read this book. Sanatana Gosvami also wrote a special commentary on the Tenth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam known as the Dasama-tippani, which is so excellent that by reading it one can understand very deeply the pastimes of Krsna in his exchanges of loving activities." _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
