Gopaljiu Publications is pleased to announce the launching of Sri Krishna
Kathamrta Bindu, a free bi-weekly email mini-magazine, published every
ekadasi, dedicated exclusively to Krishna Katha. Like the bigger Sri
Krishna-kathamrta magazine, it is designed for those who want to go deep
into the pastimes, philosophy, literature and history of Gaudiya
Vaishnavism. Bindu will feature regular articles from previous acaryas
such as Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta
Saraswati Prabhupada, Srila Thakur Bhaktivinode, Viswanath Chakravarti,
Rupa Goswami, etc., as well as new translations, research findings and
contemporary articles.
We
have taken the liberty to add your name to our initial subscription list
because we feel that you'll like Bindu and will appreciate the drops of
nectar every two weeks, conveniently delivered to your email address. The
premier issue is being sent to you simultaneously attached to a separate
text. (If somehow you do not receive it please contact us.) The first
regular issue will appear on Varuthini Ekadasi, 19 April. If you are not
interested in subscribing to this free service, we sincerely apologize for
any inconvenience caused. Just send a blank email to minimag@gopaljiu.org
and type "Unsubscribe" in the subject line and you will be
automatically removed from our list.
In
upcoming issues you can look forward to reading excerpts from the lives of
great acaryas such as Rasikananda Prabhu, Birchandra Prabhu, and Gangamata
Goswamini, new translations of stories from different Puranas as well as
little known but highly respected Gaudiya Vaishnava literatures such as,
"Mahabhava Prakash,” written in the 1500's by Kahnai Kuntia, an
Orissan associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu; "Sri Abhiram Lilamrta,”
written in the mid-1500s by Srila Tilak Ram Dasa, a disciple of Srila
Abhiram Thakur; "Sri Prema Vilas,” written in the early 1600's by
Srila Nityananda Dasa, a disciple of Jahnava Devi; "Sri Karnananda,”
written in 1607 by Srila Yadunandan Dasa Thakur; and "Sri Bhakti
Ratnakara,” written in the late 1700's by Srila Narahari Chakravarti
etc, etcI
Sri
Krishna-kathamrta Bindu is being produced in pursuance of the instructions
of Srila Gour Govinda Swami, whose articles will also be a common feature.
Each
Bindu will be an easily digestible four pages long, and will be published
in "PDF" format. To read them you will need to have some version
of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your system. Adobe Acrobat Reader is
a free software. If you do not already have a copy you can download it
from www.adobe.com.
And
if you like Bindu, please tell your friends, and print out a copy and post
it on your community's notice board.

the Vaishnavas.
