Prabhupada’s original books online

 

Posted on September 2nd, 2008 by daschan

I just visited PrabhupadaBooks.com for the first time, and I’m impressed! Scarcely could pry myself away from it, but I wanted to come here and report it as a HOT LINK. Here you can find the original, unrevised books of Srila Prabhupada: books, lectures, conversations, letters, diaries, legal documents, essays & articles, Back To Godhead magazine. Just like VedaBase, except that these are the pre-1978 books. The site has been put up by Madhudvisa das (KrishnaStore.com), and he is still working on it. So far you can access the material by browsing through the table of contents. An index is in the works. Content loads rapidly, at least over my DSL connection, and navigation is straightforward, not at all confusing. I really had fun looking up key words in the search. Very fast performance. This website is a very valuable and magnanimous offering from a devotee who has dedicated his life to distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books!

Madhudvisa has been a longtime supporter of preserving Srila Prabhupada’s original books, and has documented many of the changes that have been made over the years over at Hare Krishna News Network. He is selling Srila Prabhupada’s original, pre-1978 books at Krishna Store. If you’re shopping there, keep an eye out for the words “original” or “first edition”. He does also sell some of the revised editions, so in case of doubt, do use the contact form to verify with Madhudvisa whether the book is the original or revised edition.

That said, I’m going back to PrabhupadaBooks.com. See you there!

What do you mean original? Is it before Pradyumnas editing?

Good question, but obviously those books Prabhupada examined and appraised.

Really you did great help.Thanks a lot. while I'm searching for soundrya lahari of Sankaracharya I got one good website. Including Brahma suthras, Upanishads and what not.But I couldn't get into some topics of krishna(ISKON). when I tried, it asks to download through torrent.

Thank you once again.

Abhay Charan De was born in Calcutta, India, in 1896 to a family strongly committed to devotion to Krishna. Although some considered Krishna one among numerous Hindu deities, and his family Krishna was the supreme Lord of the Universe. Abhay entered Scottish Churches' College in 1916 and in 1920 passed his B.A. examination. He rejected his diploma in response to Gandhi's independence movement. In deference to his father he married Radharani Datta. He had one son by this marriage. His householder's life would present a constant conflict with his urge to devote himself completely to preaching Krishna consciousness.

Abhay became associated with the Gaudiya Vaisnava movement and took Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati as his spiritual master. Charanaravinda was the name Abhay's spiritual master gave him at initiation. Bhaktivedanta was a title his Godbrothers conferred on him in recognition of his devotional and scholarly qualities. The title Swami came in 1959 when he entered the disciplined order at the age of 63.

Abhay gained a reputation for his ability to preach in English. As his involvement in preaching and writing intensified, his business affairs and family involvement dwindled. His wife was less devoted to spreading the Krishna consciousness than was Abhay, and her drinking tea was a source to him. When she sold his manuscript of Srimad-Bhagavatam for some tea biscuits, he left the family for good. During the 1950s he preached the Bhagavadgita and approached potential donors for support for his periodical publication
