About the Bhaktivinoda Institute

We are disciples of Swami B.G. Narasiṅgha (a direct disciple of his Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedānta Swami Prabhupāda). The Bhaktivinoda Institute website was created on his instruction by Gaura Gopāla Dāsa, Swami B.V. Giri, Sanātana Dāsa and Parameśvarī Dāsī. It was our Guru Mahārāja’s inspiration to create a web repository where all the works of Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākur (many of which have never been translated into English before) would be easily accessible and readable for all. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura is the modern day Vyāsadeva and is responsible for reinvigorating the saṅkīrtana movement of Mahāprabhu in recent times. Wherever possible we have given due credit for translations by other devotees. Read More…

Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta Daśa Mūla

In 'Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta Daśa Mūla' Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura explains the ten major philosophical points of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism as found in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta of Śrīla Kṛṣṇa Dāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī.

Śrī Śrī Navadvīpa Dhāma

‘Śrī Śrī Navadvīpa Dhāma’ was first published in Śrī Viṣṇupriyā Patrikā, Vol.2 issue 5 in 1891. This article was written just after Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura had published Śrī Navadvīpa Dhāma Māhātmya, and here, we find the Ṭhākura giving evidence for Māyāpura as the birthplace of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Prīti (Love)

In this essay, Prīti (Love) first published in 1896 in the 8th Volume of Sajjana Toṣaṇī, Ṭhākura Bhaktivinoda states that love is the sole purpose of human life, but further explains what real love actually is.
