RadheyRadhey108 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 There's a translation by Barbara Stoler-Miller called, "The Love Song of the Dark Lord". You might want to look it up on Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. Have you ever heard the story where a young girl was once outside of the Jaganatha temple singing Gita Govinda for Lord Krishna, and when the priests returned to do Aarti for Him, His dhoti was ripped b/c when He'd left the temple to go hear the girl's song it got snagged by something?

bija Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 click here for english translation this translation is by Gadadhara Pran dasa. This is a very simple english translation. Barbara Stoller-Miller's translation is very scholarly and academic. The actual song translation is very poetic. The introduction to the book is interesting, but not in total accord with some of the modern thought of Sri Caitanya in our line. Here is a very in depth study by Srila BV Narayana Maharaja - click here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadheyRadhey108 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Barbara Stoller-Miller's translation is very scholarly and academic. Yea, her translations are often rather dry (no offense to her)... they're often the best I can get though at the local bookstores (which have pathetically small sections on Hinduism, since there's not too much interest in Eastern spirituality here in Indiana). BTW, have you gotten your copy of Srimad Brahma Samhita yet? B/c mine still hasn't arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
