Respected Swamiji and all Vaisnavas,
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! Please accept my respectful obeisances! All glories to all the acaryas of the disciplic succession.
I have a few doubts in the Govinda Bhashya in Nitaai Veda Ebook. I request your mercy on me.
First, is this Srila Prabhupada's translatation
Quote from the text : "Later on, Shri Baladeva Vidyabhushana took this doctrine and explained Vedanta-sutra strictly according to that principle of acintya-bhedabheda-tattva.
His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada"
So is this translation actually Srila Prabhupada's? I wonder why it has not been made available like Bhagavad Gita or Srimad Bhagavatam. It will be nice to see if he has indeed translated the Govinda Bhashya. It is wonderful
While going through the Govinda Bhashya in the Nitaai Veda ebook, I found some portions missing in the Following place :
Chapter 2 : Pada 1 - Sutras 9 onwards along with all purports, etc. and the complete Pada 2 missing. It starts straight from pada 3 itself -- ether is created ..... a very big portion missing.
Chapter 3 : In Pada 2 - Sutra 9 to Sutra number 21 are missing with all purports. There is an ambigiuous section which shows that upto sutra 51 is missing (no text other than Sutra number and Purport) before starting from Sutra 22 onwards. This part was quite important as it was all refuting the Mayawadi explanations and what is available starts from refuting their Neti Neti concept.
I wanted to bring this to notice as I found it while reading through it. Will it be possible to include the missing portions (i.e. Restore the lost areas) in the next version of Nitaai Veda?
Also in the web link for Chaitanya Bhagavatha online (the pages with black background, yellow letters and Nitaai Gaura pictures), there is an offensive line in Madhya Lila, 8th Chapter where Mahaprabhu danced with a worshipper of Lord Siva, where it says the devotees chanted the name of the Lord in illusion after that pastime. This is not there in the translations of the verses. That too I felt was to be brought to notice.
I hope I was not offensive in any way. Please forgive me if I was or showed lack of manners or etiquette. I just wanted to help.
Aspiring to be your servant,
Srinath
