TPP Update

Dear Guru Maharaja


Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!


Thank you for sending the Pptx with the cited verses. I’ll cross reference the citations I have with the ppt to see if there are any extra citations we need to add.


I spoke with Radhika Ramana prabhu and he said he’ll add a paragraph to the anvaya explaining the rules of syntax for Sanskrit and how they differ from English syntax order.


He suggested that we should do the index after we finalize the layout. Else it might be lots of rework. He also suggested that we hire some professional for indexing since it is a science in itself. I can try to get started on the index but I agree with him that it will be of good quality if someone who is a professional does it.


HpS - We talked to him for about an hour after you did. It was very nice. Thank you! We should be able to automatically link the Index topics with the pertinent text. Word does that and maybe Indesign. I just want to Index topics that I have found useful.


He also said that you had spoken to him about having Abhirama prabhu do the printing. Once you are done with the editing Gurudeva, I can incorporate those changes in the file and send it to Abhirama prabhu.


HpS - So that he can format it.... and even consider Spanish translation.


With respect to Srila Prabhupada’s biography (comments in our TPP), would you like to add the one in NoI or write something ourselves Guru Maharaja? If we are going to use the one from NoI, we should think about how the copyrights with BBT should be worked out.


HpS - I was just thinking we can make some comments in that part of the Appendices about what a Bh. Vai. should know about SP's life. I think Bh.Vai should have read full Lila-amrta, no?


Please let us know what you think Guru Maharaja and we’ll proceed accordingly. Thank you very much for engaging us in your service in this glorious book.


Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa


HpS - I don't think it is too glorious, but hope that it fits in the chorus of SP's Sankirtan. Of course we talke about this but posting it here is super important, because it is an ASA project and the success is the credit of the participation of all the Friends and Members of the Academy.


We are starting to work on the other possible books, consolidations:

  • Sankhya
  • Interfaith Dialog
  • World Classical Literature (Bhaktivedanta Library...)
