Dhruva Maharaja dasa:<\/p>\n
When anyone, but especially an eternally perfected parishad associate of the Lord, ventures to write a book, they do not do so whimsically. For example, when Srila Prabhupada began translating what he hoped would be the entire Srimad Bhagavatam, he knew it was a monumental endeavor that would take many years. The text he chose was the ripened fruit of all Vedic literature and an appropriate text for his audience. Being a master of spiritual sciences, he carefully chose what text to focus on. When Rupa Gosvami was originally composing one of his books, both Lord Caitanya and Satyabhama (in a dream) fine-tuned his ideas with various instructions, which ultimately culminated into Lalila-Madhava and Vidadga-Madhava.<\/p>\n
In the introductory verses to Brihad Bhagavatamrta Sanatana Gosvami states: This book, which is the essence of all bhakti shastras, was revealed by the Lord who is dear to the heart.<\/p>\n
Srinivasa Acarya wrote, nana shastra vicarinaika nipunau, sad dharma samsthapakau: The six gosvamis expertly scrutinized all Vedic literature with the aim of establishing eternal religious principles for the benefit of all human beings. On the cover-page of his original Srimad Bhagavatams printed in India, Srila Prabhupada quoted: He lives forever by his divine instructions, and the follower lives with him. (In more recent editions this was edited out.)<\/p>\n
Bhaktivinoda Thakura penned a poem about Srila Haridasa Thakura wherein he says: He reasons ill who tells that Vaisnavas die, when thou art living still in sound! In other words, when a pure liberated soul pens a book, those words, which transcend the modes of material nature, are the essence of what he wishes to convey to us conditioned souls to enlighten us. In a sense, the Vaisvava acaryas live in their books, which nourish and vitalize our love for the Lord and His associates. Imagine how much effort went into writing each book!<\/p>\n
With this in mind, we began recording the books of previous Vaisnava acaryas a few years ago, and named our program Sadhusanga. com. The idea being that by listening to the writings of liberated souls we associate with them, which is Dhruva Maharaja dasa: Thus far we’ve completed 16 titles, totaling more than 36 hours reading time, and from 12\/4 thru 12\/31 all our downloads are on sale for HALF PRICE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-message-board"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4876"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4876\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
