Guest guest Report post Posted September 7, 2005 Hare Krishna and all glories to Srila Prabhupada Are there other translations of the Brahma Samhita out there? The version that I got from ISKCON is fine but only problem is that the English is a very terse to read! I have been trying to read the purport to the first verse for quite a while now, and each time I try to read it, I get "fatigued" following the terse English and end up closing it and picking up Srimad Bhagavatam. Haribol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sumedh 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2005 please accept my pranams Sri Brahma Samhita is actually a very difficult book. Even our tattvacharya Srila Jiva Goswami says "Although the Brahma-samhita is a very difficult book, the commentaries of the sages have made it easy to understand.". You can find Srila Jiva Goswami's commentary here: http://www.harekrsna.com/philosophy/bmgs/goswamis/writings.htm with translation by Kusakratha Dasa prabhu, which is easier to read. Srila BhaktiSiddhanta Saraswati's commentry is more elaborate, though difficult to understand; in fact i find most of the writings of Srila BhaktiSiddhanta Saraswati difficult to understand -- key is to read again and again.
