Varnasrama book update
Varnasrama book update
by Rabindranatha Dasa Adhikari
Wednesday, November 1, 2006
On the day before yesterday I finished going through all of the books that
will be in volume one of the Varnasrama book and now I am on phase two of
this project of "copying" or rather going to the Vedabase and just taking
out those parts that have to do with varnasrama that I already took note of
as I was going though page by page in the regular books.
..
Volume one will be from 3rd canto of Srimad Bhagavatam and Srila
Prabhupada's 3rd canto lectures as well as his conversations and letters
from 1974. This volume as well as the volumes after this will each consist
of everything on varnasrama of the following: 1) "Simply living and high
thinking" i.e. living a life in Krsna consciousness on the land with cows.
2) Brahmacari (student life) and 3) Grhastra (householder life) 4)
Vanaprastha 5) Sannyasa 6) Brahmana 7) Ksatriya 8) Vaisya and 9) Sudra and
10) Varnasrama in general.
The book will come out in the same kind of format as "the Spiritual Master
and the Disciple" and "Sri Namamrta--The Nectar of the Holy Name" by
Subhananda
At a certain point all these volumes will be combined together into one or
more volumes.
Projected release of the first volume of the Varnasrama Book February 2007
