Also for some time my parents wont buy me original books from website that you have given and I only want to read original books, so please help me. I am really very confused. Thank You! Sorry for writing anything offensive. I do not know anything and have not read bhagwatam maha puran till now. But I have strong desire to do it.
I was looking for pdf version and landed here. I thought bhagwatam mahapuran is one whole complete book starting to Viraam. Which one is the main one that includes from Starting to till the end that I need to download? Actually its a great devotional service. Please accept my humble obeisance… Joy Srila Prabhupada. I am also looking for the 30 book set of Shrimand Bhagwad, do you know when that will be available. I was able to find only 1 set on Vedicsky. I needed your help if you could suggest or put me in touch with anyone you know who would like to resale their SB compact version.
Truly appreciate the pdf postings here…Literally the sublime essence of all knowledge for those graced to receive, understand, and practice bhakti. I have hard copies from BBT printed in India for some cantos.
Are they the same as the pdfs? Sorry for asking in advance of my reading and comparing para by para for edits between the 2 versions. A great service as a devotion to Krsna — Srila Prabhupada life is a solid example of Bhakti yoga. His divine grace is with Krsna in the Goloka serving him at more close quarters. What a life spent so dedicated to his cause and mission. Hare Krsna. Sastranga Pranams!
Greatly appreciate your service for preserving the original books. I have a question. Is BBT or whoever is the owner of the rights ok with this?
Are they getting some commision of the books sold in your store? Thank you. You can quote from any book you like as long as you give credit.
That is copyright law. You have the right to quote from books. Hare Krishna. A great divine work. The translator of this edition compares the Bhagavatam to sugarcandy-wherever you taste it, you will find it equally sweet and relishable. It should be gone through chapter by chapter, one after another. Thank you very much! You should read it from the beginning. It is a systematic presentation of Spiritual knowledge that develops. So you read it from the beginning and gradually progress to the Tenth canto.
That is the instruction. Of course it is sweet everywhere but if you want to understand it, if you want to study it properly, then you have to begin at the beginning and gradually progress through it canto by canto. Also the text is not in Unicode format for each canto, so when we copy the text and paste somewhere else, the diacritics are missing….
Also, is the original 30 volume set going to be back anytime soon? The 10 volume compact edition so called unedited version is heavily distorted. Please compare SB 1. It is absolutely not a good idea to produce text file from these scanned books.
It will not be at all accurate. We have got accurate folio version of the text but it is not really released anywhere so we will have to do that soon.
I have never read the holy Shrimad Bhagwad geeta and wish to read it. Inorder to read the actual Geetaji, do I download all the 10 creations? Thanking you in anticipation. Thank you very much for sharing a treasure trove, I have been searching for long. He gave me the directions only today, to get these books. Very thankful and grateful for your efforts towards providing us a book I was so much anxious how would I read this divine book and you have solved my problem Thankyou thankyou very much You all are doing such a nice seva and I am sure Lord Krishna is definitely happy.
Srimad Bhagavatam 9. Kindly resolve it. Great feeling having in pdf format and that to the original content. Thanks a lot buruji. Thank you so much for this wonderful service. Hare Krsna! I have downloaded the PDFs a few years back, and I really enjoy reading Bhagavatam on this website because i can highlight the text and take a screenshot to take notes.
Thank you so much. I was looking for this for such a long time. You all are doing very nice devotional service.
For this digital version, my heartfelt congratulations and thanks. This is indeed another form of service. I would like to request the following as many may be looking for this sort of avenue. For people who have read and re-read Bhghavatham using ABC version, going through the purports and translations are not necessary. This means, for anytime, anywhere quick reading, it would be best if there is an English version that can just put down only the English translation of every sloka.
But a PDF would be better Is there any version without commentaries and purports? Please let us know. Without commentaries and purports it would be useless.
You can not understand it without the commentaries and purports of His Divine Grace A. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Hi — Thanks for your comments. I m asking that question for people who have read the commentaries and purports several times before and for a quick reference they may be asking a version without commentaries.
So, if you have a clear and direct answer for this question, pls address. My clear and direct answer is if you have read the commentaries and purports several times, as I have, maybe ten times, then just keep on reading the verses, commentaries and purports again and again and every time you read them they will be fresh and new and full of additional information and much deeper realization.
And I make it very clear that if you are looking for a version without commentaries you have totally missed the point and do not understand even the slightest what Krishna consciousness is.
I am a Krishna devotee. From my soul i believe in Bhagvat concepts gifted from my father. Sir: I owe you a lot. I will pay back before I die. Your contribution is priceless. Respectfully Zanaka. Victory Sri RAM!! Thank you for helping the people like us in this Kaliyuga by providing these precious scripture.
May lord Krishna bless each and every living beings. Om nama bhagavatay basudebay nama. Haa krishna koruna sindhu dinobondhu jagathpathay, gopashaya gopikakanto radhakanta namostuatya. Shri krishna chaitanya probhu nityananda sriadyatya gadhadhar sribasadi gourvakto brindo.
There are no free books. We have to pay the printers to print them so you have to pay us to cover the printing costs. Enough said! I partially use SB downloaded from KrishnaPath. Thank you for your work, dear Madhudvisa dasa.
I will think about buying SB in KrishnaStore. Nowadays I have no money. You have missed the boat this time with actual Srimad-Bhagavatam, it is out of print, we have sold them all. So if we are able to print again please purchase it immediately. A big thank you each and everyone of Krishna Conciousness family for providing this original from srimad vagavatam. Thank you so much for the files. I downloaded all of them and read it during my pregnancy.
Blessed to have the opportunity to have read it. We have no stock in India any more and no idea when we will get any more stock. So you can contact them directly and ask if they still have any of the 30 volume original Prabhupada Bhagavatam set available and see if you can purchase it from them. Jay Shri Krishna, all glorys to Shrila Prabhupada I came to read Shrila Prabhupadas books in and I was fascinatad from the clear and logical way he explained everything and I just felt like home in this philosophy.
Some years later my wife and I lived for seven years in India. First for two years in Mayapur and then for two years in Rishikesh and at least three years in Vrindavan. So when we heard about this changings in the books of Shrila Prabhupad we got really very angry and my wife was shouting out loudly what she was thinking about this issue in the Vrindavan ISKCON temple to some of temple authoryties.
So now everyone can be happy that pure devotees to Shri Krishna and Srila Prabhupada are preserving the original translations. Thank you for this very important work that you are doing, so that further generations are able to read this pure and bona fide nektar of Srila Prabhupadas books. Thank you so much and blessed may you be for sharing such a treasure and i hope it will be possible to find the rest of these cantos in the near future cause i will leave them for for my grand suns to read them.
If by any case they would be available please send me the links cause i always forward them to those who have a real interest like i do for Srila Baktivedanta Swami Prahabupada. My best regards. The devotee you are taking about, who wrote the continuation of the Bhagavatam for ISKCON, is not a pure devotee of Krishna and is not qualified to understand and explain the pastimes of Krishna. So reading the books translated by him will be harmful, not helpful for your advancement in Krishna consciousness.
They will not help you, they will harm your spiritual life. There are so many, and when you are finished read them again and again and again. Every time you read them they get better and your realizations expand unlimitedly.
I realy thought hridayananda goswami was a genuine disciple of Prahabupada cause at the time i met him back in the 90 s he realy was , but then again you never know someone for sure. Thanks for your advice. If you would be kind inough to let me know whose spiritual master has chose you as disciple it would mean a great deal to me and I would be safely folowing your counsil.
Thanks for answering so fast. Hary Bol Jay Jaganata. Hrydayananda Goswami has changed over the years. I am sure he was sincere in the beginning when he was working very hard for Srila Prabhupada spreading Krishna consciousness in the South American countries.
But he gave up that service of preaching in South America and is now quite a different person…. As far as me Srila Prabhupada is my spiritual master. So hear these instructions from Srila Prabhupada as you read his books and surrender to them and change your life accordingly.
Then you will be guided by Srila Prabhupada and you will be in a very safe and secure position spiritually. Jay shri Krishna I have heard that there are 8 volume of Shrimad bhagwatam. But here I am able to see only 10 canto.. Thus each canto is none other but volume itself na…Each canto has many links which one should we read guide me. Hare Krsna, brubhu it our duty to share Srimad-Bhagavatam to others so they too can enjoy the nectar of Lord past time, and in so doing we are coming closer to lotus feet of the Lord.
May Lord all of that doing this wonderful work so we too can benefit. Hare krsna. Hare Krsna all glory to the Supreme Personality of God Head and to Srila prabhupad amd all who make this possible so that we all read the beautiful pass time of the Lord. Thank you for your dedication to making available the authorized versions of Srila Prabhupadas books. May you be blessed by Srila Prabhupad, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and all of the Vaishnava acharyas for your service to humanity.
Krishna Premi dasi. I appreciate your work of preserving the original copies of these devine books. These pdfs are great, very pleasing and heart touching. Obviously i am appreciating more about the picture work in it. Otherwise i am so deeply fallen and i can not stay longer focoused in such varoius meaningful scripture.
I am just requesting for more and more picture content in these pdfs. Hope it would have been possible to publish more and many picture contents in every chapter during its publication. By the mercy of Supreme Lord we have started reading Srimad Bhagavatam Since July and read first canto for the three time.
Till June we have read till third canto and started fourth canto. By the time i heard that we should not read Srimad Bhagavatam by ourselves. We have to read and understand Srimad Bhagavatam under some expert guidance. But how we can get any expert association daily. How it is possible? Nobody is there who can continuously give time to read srimad Bhagavatam. Because expert are busy in variety of preaching services.
Of course you can read Srimad-Bhagavatam by yourself. Actually you are never by yourself when you are reading Srimad-Bhagavatam. Srila Prabhupada is living in his transcendental purports and Krishna and all the the great saints and sages who appear on the pages of the Bhagavatam are also living in it and you are associating with them all when you read Srimad-Bhagavatam….
So please Prabhu do not listen to envious demons in the dress of devotees who will, at every step, try to discourage you, if they sense that you are making a little advancement in Krishna consciousness….
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has told this that you must read Srimad Bhagavatam in association with pure devotees. And Srila Prabhupada and the pure devotees are very pleased to appear as you read Srimad-Bhagavatam.
Prabhupada is living in Srimad-Bhagavatam, Krishna is living in Srimad-Bhagavatam, and all the great devotees are living in Srimad-Bhagavatm. Yourself, or in the association of other devotees, either way you will be in the association of Krishna, Prabhupada, Narada Muni, Sukadeva Goswami and all the other great devotees.
There is nothing more demonic than this. Hare krishna prabhuji, Please accept my humble obeisances All glories to Srila prabhupada!! Thanks a lot for this beautiful pdf format of original srimad bhagawatam. By mercy of Lord krishna I received this precious gift. Hare krishna. So you can download the PDF files you are missing from this page.
We only have full sets of the books for sale. So if you want single volumes I suggest you search from them online at the second hand books websites. And you have to look at the qualifications and qualities of the person who translated it and work out if he is a pure devotee of Krishna on the topmost platform or not.
And if he is not then you should not read it. Because milk touched by the lips of a serpent has poisonous effects. Have you translated Sri Caitanya-caritamrta? That is very essential for this age. So if we simply study and follow what Prabhupada has given us that will be perfect.
We do not need any more than what Srila Prabhupada gave us. A great service you are doing to His Divine Grace and for all generations of devotees present and future. Only read the original books, only buy the original books and only distribute the original books. We never settle for anything less. If its not broken [and surely its not], then why fix it? Hare Krishna Pr. I have only one eye now, and that too has retina problems.
I have the whole set of hard copies Bhagwatam, but the font size is small for me. Hard copies are best, even though PDFs can be annotated. Even so Prabhu, these PDFs are going to be so much easier on my eye. I can zoom-in and read these scriptures. Much obliged. Kindly let me know when hard copies are printed in big fonts arial , perhaps. I asseverate, there is great need for hard copies in large fonts for patients with compromised vision.
Obeisantly, Dr. At this time it is not possible to print in hard copy in big fonts. But as you say with PDF you can enlarge it on the screen and read it or you can also print it out yourself in large size.
Forth canto was not printed in It was printed later, maybe different volumes in different years also, I do not know off hand. Why not just read the books instead of bothering exactly what date it was printed? Please accept my sincere obeisance prabhu.. I have tried to look in krishna store site but that is paying in USD.
So if you can help me i would be very grateful! In either case we can send the books to an address in India. So just order and we will send them to you. Please accept my sincere obeisance prabhu. I checked out the link krishnastore.
I wanted to ask about the payment option as it is stated ccavenue credit card payments. So my question is it mandatory to pay with credit card. Can debit card or visa debit is available as a payment option. Another question is in how many days the orderd things arrive? Thank you for free pdf books.
Great job by Sri Prabhupada. May He bless us all for attaining the Lotus feet of Krishna. I am looking for the concise teaching of the structure of the manifest. The flat earth and how the heavens really work. It is very hard for us to understand because we have been so much trained by modern science in a different world-view.
Main thing is to get out, to go back home, back to Godhead, to the spiritual world. But he does mention many points about the structure of the universe in his writings. So far I do not think anyone has a clear idea of the structure of the universe revealed in the writings of Srila Vyasadeva. So it requires spiritual advancement, realization, inspiration from Krishna in the heart, etc, to actually realize it in practice and present it as a true scientific model that could be appreciated by modern science, etc.
But I am sure when someone can do this at least a large percentage of the scientists will be very interested in it. This does not seem to be complete. There should be more to it than Canto 10, volume 3. I do not see Sudhama Charitam anywhere! Thanks a million for publishing these priceless books of Shila Prabhupada online. It helps a lot for readers of Bhagavatham daily like me and my neighbors easily. Can you please give me a link to access them so that we can continue read them on line.
There are so many translations of the Vedic texts. But unfortunately very few of them are by pure devotees of Krishna. The fact is that only a pure devotee of Krishna can understand and explain Krishna.
So only the translations and purports of a pure devotee of Krishna are helpful for us in our quest for spiritual advancement. Translations and commentaries by persons who are not pure devotees of Krishna will mislead us. They will not help us advance in Krishna consciousness, no matter how perfect they seem to be from the intellectual and scholarly point of view.
It is only the pure devotee of Krishna who can awaken the dormant Krishna consciousness that is within all our hearts. So Srila Prabhupada is a pure devotee of Krishna. A pure devotee of Krishna is very, very rare. So we need to take full advantage of associating with him by reading his transcendental books.
Then he has given us so much more nectar in the Sri Caitanya-caritamrta and many, many other books. You do not need to go anywhere else. You do not need to read any other books. Simply study all the books of Srila Prabhupada and put into practice in your life the instructions you find Srila Prabhupada giving you as you read his books and you will make very rapid advancement in Krishna consciousness.
Hare krishna prabhu g Someone had deleted this set of scanned copies of srimad bhagvadtam frm my phone. Im downloading it again. Its beautifull illustrations really gives a dint of vaikuntha as i found prabhupad saying in d documentary film of iskcon iskcon classic. It provides a shortcut reach to d supreme d lotus feet of krishna. Hare krishna prabhu g. I regularly read it and it kept me alive to serve the Lord Krishna.
Hare Krishna!! How other people will come to know about the unauthorised changes to our original scriptures? How can this be prevented?
Hare Krishna, Thanks a million for making these Holy Scriptures available to us. Started studying Bhagavatham recently. Hari Om! We thank you for preserving the Original Srimad Bhagwatam. I have just downloaded it. We love it and will make very good use in our lives. I am extremely Thankful first to Ms Rachana Naurial to get me motivated to download Bhadvatam, all volumes.
Second thanx to A. Thank you all. Now it is up to you to actually read Srimad-Bhagavatam and put what you learn into practice in your life.
If you do this your life will be very successful and you will become a very important person in the world and will become empowered to guide so many others back home back to Godhead. So do it. Read the Bhagavatam, better if you read it aloud so you chant it including the Sanskrit verses and hear it.
We learn more by chanting and hearing than just by thinking about it in our minds. I would like to thank you so much to make these books available, now I have them all on my laptop, on a usb key and on a kobo, everywhere I am I can have all these books with me, original edition amazing. Iam highly elated to have this website open for downloads of srimadbhagvatham. It is such a great book that it absolves our sins and purifies our souls. I will be highly thankful to those who are running this website.
We need to have faith that Srila Prabhupada has given us everything in his books. So read it and read it again and again. The more you read it the more you will realize who Krishna is and who you are. Hi, Hare Krisna. I would want to know that what is the difference in first edition and Indian edition? It is very important to preserve our invaluable Religion abd History in Their original forms.
Thank You. Jai Shree Krishna?? Hare Krishna!!! Hello Krishna. We are only doing original Prabhupada books that means in English. Translation will never be as good as the original.
So better to read the original in English which includes of course the original Sanskrit in both Devanagari and Roman Transliteration.
I try to read SB in Sanskrit in Devanagari script. Most Indians do not know English. Only those in big cities do. Prabhupada translated SB, other spiritual texts in English for the benefit of Western audience well versed in English, not for Indians.
English is the official language of India along with Hindi. Hindi and English are used for official purposes such as parliamentary proceedings, judiciary, communications between the Central Government and State Government etc.
Most people who are devout that I know read SB, other spiritual texts in their own mother tongue like Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil etc. Hare Krishna, actually I want shrimad bhagawatam in Hindi. Please can you help me to get that set of 30 original books. Is it enough to satisfy with 10 cantos of bhagavatam and how to get free from birth death cycle. Srila Prabhupada had no personal interest in presenting Srimad-Bhagavatam. This is his unique qualification. So just read them all and live your life according to the instructions you find Srila Prabhupada giving you as you read his books and your life will become perfect.
Hare krishna, madhudvisa dasa when will srimad bhagavatam be available on krishna store and also can I share these original texts of prabhupad. And they should open up a Gou-shaala in every temple. And provide Scheduled sevaas to every bhakta acording to his guna attributes. I am saying this for I have seen greater maya in temples than the outside world.
Devotees are falling into sense enjoyment and quitting Bhakti-maarga selfless loving services. I know this because I was one of such person. You know how scarce these books are, so please try to upload all the missing covers, appendixes indexes and so on, there are some things missing, so please look into it ASAP and scan those missing covers and the spine also. We have reprinted the original books now with all original covers and everything so you will very soon be able to purchase the actual original first edition Srimad-Bhagavatam at KrishnaStore.
Should be available within the next couple of months. Please clarify my doubts. Thanking you in advance. Prakash Anamalay. Please give full details on this. Srila Prabhupada published the first canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam in Delhi in the early s. So that Delhi Edition will be a bit different. Thank you so much really appreciate it.
Sitting, breathing much easier with much anxiety alleviated. All glories to your service. Dandavat pranams,. I am believe srikrishna stories Bhagavad. I every happiness your workshop. Hari oham. It finishes at Tenth Canto Chapter 13 I think.
Then Srila Prabhupada left his body. He had planed to complete Srimad-Bhagavatam in 60 volumes but we only got However everything is there in those 30 volumes…. I was quite impressed to see the rare photo of Lord Sri Venkateswara. Thank you once again for this.
Mohan Swaminathan. Hari bol guys its been great reading all of these wonderful Vedic literatures on this wonderful site hare krsna. Radhnatha Swami is a Mayavadi. That should be fairly obvious to you. And really you have to decide for yourself in your situation what you should do. In this way Srila Prabhupada will instruct you from his books and Krishna will instruct you from within your heart and you will then know what you should do.
Mayavadi means someone who thinks Krishna is in maya. A Mayavadi thinks that when Krishna appears in the material world He accepts a body made from the material energy. But Krishna appears in His original spiritual body. The Mayavadis are impersonalists. They claim the original form is the impersonal brahman and when Krishna appears He temporally manifests a form and when He disappears He again merges back into the brahman. They also believe that we, ultimately, have no eternal personal spiritual form.
Their idea of mukti or liberation is merging into the impersonal brahman and loosing their individuality and personality. So the Mayavadis are envious frustrated persons. Mayavadi philosophy is very attractive to the demons here in the material world. Because demons want to be god. And the Mayavadi philosophy claims that everyone is god… So Mayavadi philosophy is nonsense and Mayavadis are demons who want to take advantage of the Vedas and present themselves as great transcendentalists and spiritual gurus..
Hare Krsna Prabhu, Can you upload the cover pages of the Srimad Bhagavatam, some of them are missing, some indexes are also missing. Or, please give the reference of the picture number from each volumes which is used as the front cover and back cover. It will be very helpful. Most probably I have to print it myself as I think the stock may finish till then. They are available now and they will be available if I can make them available. And in the future, when I can not make them available, you can make them available.
Hare Krishna Prabhuji! I have been reading Shrimadbhagavatam in PDF format since last one year and a few other books and I have got Bhagavad-gita As It Is and it is the same as available on krishnastore.
Prabhuji I want all books only from KrishnaStore. And I will read all the books and as you say I hope to do everything. And I must do it! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Krishna SankirtanMovement!
Everyone wants to become a famous author with his own books. But Srila Prabhupada is actually a pure devotee of Krishna, and this is a very rare qualification. It should be working again now for purchases of books in Indian rupees. So please place a small order and if there are any problems or errors, etc, let me know.
Thank you very much for the krishnastore. I hope to buy lots of items from here and keep buying until my last breath! You can also save up and order Srimad-Bhagavatam and Cc sets. Unfortunately I do not have enough money to get Shrimadbhagavatam and Cc sets now but in few months I hope to get the two sets as it is very important to get these to sets for my own self as well as for making it available in future!
Not a dust jacket, but the cover will be exactly the same as the original dust jackets. But right now you can get the exact original Sri Caitanya-caritamrta:. I recently got the 30 volume SB. They are truely beautiful books, thank you and Hansdutta Prabhu for distributing them to the world.
I read that the first edition SB sets with the original covers will be making a appearance sometime in the future. I am aware the 30 volume set is pre editions. I am also aware of the fact that Prabhupada accepted corrections to be made to the first editions which the 30 volume Hansdutta are corrected. Can you clarify what will be the difference between the future first editions that will be back in print?
Just read the Bhagavatam set you have now Prabhu. Just read the Bhagavatam set you have… You need to force yourself to read it because maya will keep on trying to trick you not to read it. Hare Krishna prabhu ji, I acknowledge with thanks, receiving your most valuable book Ghagavad gita as it is. Anyway , this Prabhupad books issue is heavy stuff , and I just realized that , while I thought that I had original texts I gave my good old Bhagavatams away , one by one , knowing that the new ones were polluted!!!
In the aledgedly clean or simply less polluted!!! The change that you point out is a correction. So you can not say this is wrong. Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Let Prabhupada and Krishna accept Your service.
I have been reading altered books for about a decade before I knew the fact of editing. So now I am looking for original ones to purchase. I thought about a pre-owned compact Bhagavatam set, but here I read the comment above, which shows one of the corrections in it. Do You have the complete list of such corrections?
Thank You for Your attention. For the moment we just found a few sets of original first-edition that we reprinted a few years ago and they are available now for a very short time at KrishnaStore. Shipping on this is a little costly as we only have stock in India right now, bit it is well worth it. There is not much point in bothering exactly what the changes are, just get the original books, read them and chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
Hare Krishna Prabhuji, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Sri guru and gauranga. How much would it cost to get chaitanya charitamrta back in print? This set is worth more than gold. It is already printed.
We will have it available on KrishnaStore. So keep on the look out for it. How long will the original 30 volume Srimad Bhagavatam be available for? I read somewhere you said there is only a limited supply and this was said back in I plan on purchasing next month do you think it will still be available then?
In there was limited supply. And we have sold that. Then found a few hundred sets in Australia and we sold them, now we have found some sets in Europe and we are selling them. But this is really the end of the stock. These are the last remaining sets in the world. Hare Krsna Madhudvisa dasa prabhuji. What is the plan after this set of books are sold? Is Krishna Books Inc going to print it or how will you get more sets to print after this.
Because they will be more people who want SRmad Bhagavatam to read. So i started reading Srimad-Bhagavatam. After reading those books i realized the real problem of human being. The problem is, people are not reading or not understanding these books. This is only the way to get out of all troubles of Kali yuga. And on the other hand i also think that no one can stop this because the name itself indicates the yuga of quarrel. Can anyone help me getting the book? Please do a favor. Vaisnava literature can only be translated by a pure devotee of Krishna.
This is a very rare thing. Almost all commentators on the Vedic texts have their own opinions and ideas which they superimpose on top of their translations and commentary of the Vedic texts thus rendering them useless in the matter of transferring any real transcendental knowledge. You will be amazed Prabhu as to how much better you will find Srimad-Bhagavatam the second time you read it.
They are not like ordinary books. You can read them an unlimited number of times and every time you read them they will be new and fresh and every time you will find new realizations and new knowledge. Also the logical progression after reading Srimad-Bhagavatam is to read Sri Caitanya-caritamrta. There you will find the same teachings of Srimad-Bhagavatam but presented in a very wonderful way.
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta goes further in explaining the pastimes of Radha and Krishna than Srimad-Bhagavatam does. It is the post-graduate study of spiritual life.
There is nothing wrong with that. It is first edition from Fifth Canto on, and cantos are second edition. Not the first printing, they contain some corrections that were made by BBT editors working under the direction of Srila Prabhupada.
These are the exact same books that Srila Prabhupada personally read himself daily and gave most of his classes from and begged his disciples to distribute widely. So this Bhagavatam set is completely accepted by Srila Prabhupada. It is perfectly bona fide. Completely spiritual. Hare Krishna prabhu all glories to Srila Prabhupada Please accept my humble obeisances.
I really appreciate the work you are doing prabhu but I have one concern. The Srimad Bhagavatam downloads seem to be the originals but not the ones you are advertising on Krishnastore. Please explain this to me because I am having a hard time trying to understand it. And please forgive me prabhu if I have offended you or anyone with my concerns. I just want to know the truth. After the first editions were printed Srila Prabhupada instructed the editors to make many corrections to the first printed books.
So there is editing between the first and later printings of the Bhagavatams. If you look carefully you will not find the meaning of the text is being changed. So this editing went on under the authorization and direction of Srila Prabhupada.
The Bhagavatam set that you purchased from KrishnaStore. So it is completely authorized by Srila Prabhupada and is identical to the Bhagavatam volumes that Srila Prabhupada gave most of his classes from. There is nothing so original as the set you have in existence at the moment. You are very fortunate to have it. They are now out of print. We have a few sets left in Europe only. If it is good enough for Srila Prabhupada to read personally himself daily and give his classes from it should be good enough for you to read….
English is the main language for India now. It is available printed for sure in Marathi but you know when a book is translated into another language of course that is very good and very important for the people who only speak that language. But really in the translation process something is lost. As far as I can see there is no problem with the files.
Try to download them again and let me know if you are still having a problem. Can I order this set of books in India? Is PDF version is available to download in Tamil language? Your service to the Krishna Consciousness movement is inestimable. I have left, and I feel inspired for that decision. I would loose my life and soul if I were to compromise on principles which are keeping me cognizant of the need to protect the creeper of devotional service, and not allow it to get mixed up in karma, jnana or yoga.
But somehow we have to remain in Krishna consciousness. So that is quite a challenge. Really this is best done in the association of other devotees, it is very hard to be a devotee surrounded by non-devotees. But somehow that is the position we seem to be in at the moment so we have to push on and try to become Krishna conscious and try to serve Srila Prabhupada under these difficult circumstances.
The solution is chanting Hare Krishna ultimately. So we have to actually get a taste for chanting Hare Krishna and have to actually do it constantly. It is only the sankirtan, the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra that can counteract the bad effects of Kali-yuga. So we have to chant Hare Krishna or we will not be even able to counteract the evils of Kali in our own lives, what to speak of saving the world, which, at some point in time, someone has to do, again..
Hare Krishna.. I have hard copies though. Can you please help. Please let me know. I am a swaminarayan devotee of BAPS. In the shikshapatri manual for code of conduct and bhakti it says that a devotee should read the tenth canto of the srimad bhagavatam every year. But it is not complete here. But I need the tenth canto.
What should I do. Firstly your instruction from Swami Narayana is wrong. This sort of stress on reading specifically the Tenth Canto of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, giving special stress to reading the Tenth Canto over the other Cantos is completely wrong, completely bogus.
So have to read all of the Bhagavatam, starting from the First Canto, in the order that it has been presented. Not that you put special stress on reading the Tenth Canto. You have to read and assimilate all the other cantos first before it is possible for you to appreciate and understand the Tenth Canto. That is a summary study of the Tenth Canto. Can anyone tell me the links of pdf files of Canto 11 and 12 without the poisonous commentary.
There is no use in reading Bhagavatam without commentary by a pure devotee of Krishna. Srila Prabhupada has given us enough to keep us constantly engaged in hearing about Krishna for a very long time. Putting Hriydananda godas on the same platform as Srila Prabhupada.
I really can not imagine that there are many idiots out there any more who can accept such insanity. I heard Prabhupada say today that you can fool all of the people for some time and you can fool some of the people for all of the time but you can not fool all of the people for all of the time. So the bottom line is forget reading anything that is not written by Srila Prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada is a pure devotee of Krishna and he has given us absolutely everything we need to become completely Krishna conscious, to become pure devotees, and to go back home back to Godhead and to take the whole universe with us. We simply have to surrender to Srila Prabhupada and take advantage of his association in the form of his transcendental books, his lectures, his conversations, his press conferences, his morning walks, his letters and all the other transcendental nectar he has left for us to raise us up to the platform of pure devotional service.
This krishna consciousness movement is the only movement which can guide a person for the path of purity and selfish less service. Not only towards god and his devotees but also to the whole world and people living around here. Thank you so much prabhu for this wonderful arrangement of the original works of the master All glories unto Prabhupada, all glories to Sri Krishna, all glories to Madhudvisa dasa!
Can you please tell me what are the most serious changes the BBT has made, other than grammatical or spelling corrections? What are the most drastic changes been made, by which the entire original meaning got lost? If you could give me some examples, and preferably an overview or a link to where I can find this information that would be very helpful. Thank you in advance,.
Please read all the articles there. Of course they have started slowly. Still they have made thousands and thousands of significant changes that really alter the meaning of what Prabhupada says. Sometimes very dramatically changing the meaning, sometimes completely reversing what Prabhupada said…. Thanks for your fast reply, prabhu. I will give it a serious look and may contact you for further clarification, if needed.
Meanwhile I have sent you a message on an other article. Pictures Watch all the pictures of the book. Links find the original text and translation chapter by chapter and other links. Below are offered download links for epub, pdf, mp3 and html files of the content available online at bhagavata. Why are these books offered for free? This kind of literature is what one could call donationware. Financially we depend on donations to support our work.
Spiritual information like this is not to be sold and commercialized. This is the copyright to share cultural and spiritual knowledge about our common cultural inheritance, so as to offer free access for everyone. It belongs to your birthright as a human being. It applies e. Also all literature derived from this copyright resorts under a likewise arrangement. What one actually should pay is attention. That is the payment that is absolutely required. Bhakti means devotional service free from ulterior motives.
But the fact is that if we do not receive donations for our work, we have to apply for other support. Not wishing to depend on government support we would have to go begging. Begging and vagrancy are allowed spiritually, but are actually forbidden in many cultures of this world we are part of. That makes legal dependency inevitable without your support. This type of legally arranged dependency out of need is unfavorable because the government makes demands for providing what one also calls the dole or charity, for as long as basic incomes based upon equal civil and human rights have not been achieved.
Till then they in principle can force one to do menial slave labor, strange to one's nature, leaving little or no time and energy left to do this type of voluntary labor. They claim your life and drag you into all kinds of impure spheres if they want to and that is exactly the opposite of what we strive for in self-realization.
