Sri Prabandhavali - English

Sri Prabandhavali contains authentic and inspiring accounts of the life histories and teachings of modern day acaryas in the Gaudiya Vaisnava line, as well as from those from the time of Mahaprabhu – Sri Advaita Acarya, Sri Nityananda Prabhu and Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. The last three chapters of the book impart essential instructions on the practice of Pure Bhakti.

Observing the festival days outlined in the Vaisnava calendar is an important aspect of devotional practice. Srila Gurudeva always speaks on the appropriate topic on such days, whether it be the appearance or disappearance day of a prominent Vaisnava acarya, the appearance day of an incarnation of Bhagavan, or any other significant day. Of the eleven lectures included within this book, nine are lectures that he spoke on significant dates from the Vaisnava calendar. The word prabandha means an essay and avali means a collection. We are confident that devotees will find this Sri Prabandhavali helpful in their sincere efforts to honour these important days.

The material herein was spoken during 1989 and 1991 at Sri Kesavaji Gaudiya Matha in Mathura and Sri RupaSanatana Gaudiya Matha in Vrndavana. The only  exception is the chapter on Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, which was compiled from three separate lectures spoken in English in the early 1990s.
