GeeVees: Q&A: What books should a new western traditonal Gaudiya Vaishnava read?
http://geevees.blogspot.com/2009/03/q-what-books-should-new-western.html
Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Q&A: What books should a new western traditonal Gaudiya Vaishnava read? Can someone tell me which translations that are in English of Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam and Chaitanya Charitamrta does a traditional Gaudiya Vaishnava use? I realize that many disciples of Ananta das Babaji came from Iskcon and so still have the translations of BVSP to use, but what translations would be recommended for the brand new generation of GV's? Below is a list of titles I consider essential rea...

GeeVees: Q&A: Discussing one's bhajan with others
http://geevees.blogspot.com/2009/03/q-discussing-ones-bhajan-with-others.html
Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Q&A: Discussing one's bhajan with others. Is it all right to discuss one's bhajan with others? Perhaps one may have an exceptional dream or a realization during bhajan – to whom may one speak of it, and to whom not? As recommended in Hari-bhakti-vilasa:. Svapne vAkSi-samakSaM vA Azcaryam atiharSadam /. AkasmAd yadi jAyeta na khyAtavyaM guror vinA / 2.143/. Again, in the words of Narottama Das Thakur Mahasaya from his Prema-bhakti-candrika:. He says, gupate sAdhibe siddhi. The inti...

Sunday, February 1, 2009. F: Sadhaka and Siddha: Two classes of devotees. There are two classes of devotees, the sadhaka and the siddha. Those at the stage of sadhana are called sadhakas, and those at the stages of bhava and beyond are called siddhas. The stage of bhava is the stage of the awakening of the svarupa. Vishwanath Chakravartipada describes this blessed stage as follows:. Buddhir apatantam evArtham avadhArayantI jAgrat-svapna-suSuptiSu tadIya-smRti-vartmany eva pAnthatvam adhyavasyet ahantA ca...

Friday, March 6, 2009. Avoiding Six Kinds of Vaishnava-aparadha. How do the scriptures define Vaishnava-aparadha, the mad elephant we are told to keep away from the garden of our hearts? In the 265th anuccheda of his Bhakti-sandarbha, in explaining the ten offenses against the holy name, Sri Jiva quotes a verse from the Skanda Purana, delineating varieties of unbefitting acts in relation with a Vaishnava. NindAM kurvanti ye mUDhA vaiSNavAnAM mahAtmanAm. Patanti pitRbhiH sArdhaM mahAraurava-saMjJite.

Saturday, January 31, 2009. F: An Eulogy to Six Goswamis. DhIrAdhIra-jana-priyau priya-karau nirmatsarau pUjitau. ZrI-caitanya-kRpA-bharau bhuvi bhuvo bhArAvahantArakau. Vande rUpa-sanAtanau raghu-yugau zrI-jIva-gopAlakau 1. Immersed in Krishna-kirtana, these six saints are oceans of prema personified – such is the nature of kirtana! We have many forms of kirtana, the two basic forms being nAma-kIrtana. And the latter is further divided into a number of sections such as guNa-kIrtana. Friend of all beings.
