PAMHO/AGTSP
It has been a good while since I've been in contact with you! But I have been thinking of you and the lovely guidance you've given me pertaning to Upadesamrta... (which is why I'm writing again). It was also very nice to finally meet you in person at TKG's vyasa puja/book release in dallas!
So anyway...
I am as usual reading NOI every day and wanting to increase my understanding of the text and want to know what you think of a few things.
What do you think of reading BV Narayana Maharaja's translations of the Anuvrtti/Piyusa-darsini-vrtti commentaries?
ASA - AGTSP! paoh. I think there is no formal institutional rstriction again them. I think it is a rather individual things how we relate to devotees such as Narayana Maharaja. As far as his translation of the Upadesamrta commentary by Bh. Siddhanta Sarasvati goes I think is simple, clear and quite useful to go deeper into Srila Prabhupada's work.
There is also this commentary by Radhika Raman Gosvami in this same translation, should we read his comments?
ASA - Same comments as above. Smile. Smile.
and lastly, when are you coming to texas next? I can arrange some nice things to do here!!!
ASA - www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.txt we type with more smiles. Only for two nights in January but hope to be in Houston for two weeks in June.
your servant, Gauralila Dasa (Rtadhvaja Swami)
Jaya! AGTSP! All success for your Sankirtana! ! !!!
