Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hare Krishna and all glories to Srila Prabhupada Are there other translations of the Brahma Samhita out there? The version that I got from ISKCON is fine but only problem is that the English is a very terse to read! I have been trying to read the purport to the first verse for quite a while now, and each time I try to read it, I get "fatigued" following the terse English and end up closing it and picking up Srimad Bhagavatam. Haribol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumedh Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 please accept my pranams Sri Brahma Samhita is actually a very difficult book. Even our tattvacharya Srila Jiva Goswami says "Although the Brahma-samhita is a very difficult book, the commentaries of the sages have made it easy to understand.". You can find Srila Jiva Goswami's commentary here: http://www.harekrsna.com/philosophy/bmgs/goswamis/writings.htm with translation by Kusakratha Dasa prabhu, which is easier to read. Srila BhaktiSiddhanta Saraswati's commentry is more elaborate, though difficult to understand; in fact i find most of the writings of Srila BhaktiSiddhanta Saraswati difficult to understand -- key is to read again and again.
