Krishnabhaktas,

One acquaintence of mine is looking for a Bhagavad Gita translation in

English based on madhva tradition. I am aware of only Dr. BNK Sharma's work in

this regard. I want to know if Dr. BNK Sharma's work available in print now and

are there other madhva tradition's Gita translations in English available.

 

Thanks for your help,

Namaste,

Vasu Murthy

Dear Vasu

 

I am aware of 2 more publications that provide the correct (aka Madhva) interpretation of Bhagavad gIta in English. The first is a work by Sri Subba Rao; this is out of publication. The second is one by Prof Nadagouda. This is more likely to be available in Bangalore.

 

With regards

Sriprasad

Dear Vasu,

namaste.

As you are aware VMS has funded a project to republish the book on

Bhagavat Gita by Late

Sri C. M. Padmanabachar. A/c Shri Bindu Madhavan the book was supposed

to be released on the aradhane of Shri 1008 Shri Raghottama theertharu at

Tirukoilur

yesterday. This book should available to about 31 donors from here shortly (to

be sent

by courier from India). I have pasted below a secion of the mail from Bindu that

explains

more about the book.

 

Another book I am aware avaliable is the small book on Shrimad

Bhagavadgita

that is published by Suguna Samsath in the able guidance of Shri 1008 Shri

Sugunendra

theertha Shripadnagalavaru. This is the pocket book that was distributed during

Shri Swamiji's first visit to all the " Gita Lekhana Yajna " devotees. It has

short

summary for all the shlokas in english. This is a book for beginners. I have

some

copies of the book.

 

Regards,

Satya

Gita book publication - VMS/SMSO Sabha Project

 

Dear Sri Hari bhaktas,

 

By the grace of Sri Hari, Vayu, Gurugalu, Vishwa Madhva Sangha (VMS) is

undertaking a joint

project with the venerated Sri Madhva Siddhannohini (SMSO) Sabha (more than 100

years old in

India) to republish the book on Bhagavat Gita by Late Sri C. M. Padmanabachar.

This book is a

classic book in English published in the early last century and is held in high

esteem for the

shastric scholarship of the author (a leading attorney in the British times in

India), the lucid

style of the written English appealing to the modern times, presentation of each

shloka in

Sanskrit followed by the text in English giving the bhashyas of Sankara,

Ramanuja and Madhva as

well as the pertinent tikkas, tippanis etc. and provides a wonderful wholesome

study of the first

6 chapters of the Gita for the devotees in the present time. This republication

is expected to

produce a total of about 1200 printed pages in two volumes having about 600

pages in each volume

of the book.

 

Books on Gita giving the Dvaita points of view in English are quite rare and

this project

addresses this void. It is planned to bring out a total of about 1000 copies in

this republication

and it is expected that there will be a wide distribution and appeal to this

book since it is in

English. The actual reprinting is set to commence soon and the release of the

newly printed books

in an appropriately arranged book-release function in India is expected in the

next few months.

Dear Vasu,

 

I would recommend book from

1. Sri Dr. Prabhanjanacharya its called "Gitamadhu".

 

He mentions in his book that Sri Madhva Acharya was the first two write commentaries on both Mahabharata and Gita. Srimadacharya wrote "Gita Bhashya" and "Gita TatpryaNirnaya" to explain the meanings of Gita. "MahaBharataTatparya Nirnaya" explains MahaBharat.

 

2. There is also another really great book on Bhagvad Gita by Pejawar Swamiji. I don't remember the name. But it was my first book on Gita and really got me thinking. Its very simple and easy to read ( I had to read it many times though :) I will post the name when I get it.

Krishnarpanam

 

Happy New year to you all!!

Dear Vasu,I have with me the pocket book that Mr. Sathya

mentions, published by Suguna Samsath, and as a matter of strange

coincidence just finished reading the book yesterday. I wholly

recommend this book if time is of the essence and if you are looking

for an English translation, although this one is almost like a literal

translation devoid of any extrapolations or lengthy explanations and

sticks to point.My next goal is to read any and all works of

Madhwas, preferably in English to make for a quicker read and better

grasp, knowing very well that the original flavor, derivable if read in

Kannada (or is it Tulu that the Gita Bhasya & Tatparya Nirnaya is

written in?), is lost.Regards,KrishnaM.S. Sathya <mssnvasu_murthy; Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2006 9:45:12 AMRe: Bhagavad Gita translation in English
