Dandavats

All glories to Sri Guru & Sri Gauranga

 So, in relation to our last conversation, I want to expand on my study of Sri Upadesamrta. 

I am curious as to whether you think that I should pick up the study of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur's Anuvrti commentary? Currently I am studying Nectar of Instruction (read about 5 times within the past couple of months) and Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura's Sri Bhaktyaloka (just picked up a week ago) with the eventual goal of re-reading Nectar of Devotion right after. After I re-read NOD, I will get on Srila Dhanurdhara Swami Maharaja's Waves of Devotion (already picked up a copy ;D) 

Again, I can't thank you enough for your siksa Maharaj! 

your servant, Gaura Lila Das (RTS)

HpS -  Jaya!    Srila Prabhupada Ki Jai!    paoho.   Thank you for your association in this matter!!!!          We are still in Santiago.   this is our third letter.   The sun is going behind the high rises and the air is getting frosty!

Have you seen our tpp-noi.doc at the ASA Archives?

I am working on NOI-2 class.  It is for the Bhakti Vaibhava Diploma course we are developing.  Four years. 40-students now.

Out idea is to give an extract of the songs in Gitavali.  You can see these annoteated in our asa-noi.doc in the archives.

but not go into detail, but if the student wants to read them, contemplate them, then super.   Then it looks the same with Baktyaloka.  I think it was written before the Piyush vrtti that is in Narayna Maharaja's commentary, but Bh. Thakura.  We are translating the Anu vrtti there and I think we will goe through it in more detail.   Then the last part of the NOI-2 course is to pass through the NOI again seeing some of the sources Srila Prabhupada takes his cites from to appreciate the seamless depth of the NOI and point the way to more study.

We should know a little about all of his books, a lot about one, or two or...

We will upload the pdf of Bhaktyaloka and Anuvrtti to our Archives starting with ABC-NOI-2-...                     Jaya!   Soak ourselves in VEDA and then go in public like sinking wet dogs and make a good shake!
