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…

Sampradāya Praṇālī (The Sampradāya System)

Sampradāya Praṇālī (The Sampradāya System) was first published in Sajjana Toṣaṇī, Vol 4, issue 4 in 1892. In this article Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura explains how Indians at that time were being influenced by western scholars and going against the ancient concept of the sampradāya system.

Nivedana (A Request)

Nivedana (A Request) was the editorial for Sajjana Toṣaṇī, Vol 10. Issue 5 printed in 1898. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura writes about the purpose of his magazine, as compared to mundane magazines and newspapers of the time.

A Review of Nitya-rupa-sangsthapanam – A Sanscrit Work

Ṭhākura Bhaktivinoda composed this book review "A Review of Nitya-rupa-sangsthapanam – A Sanscrit Work" in English for publication in a European journal 1883. He came across a book written by one Upendra Mohana Gosvāmī entitled "Nitya-rūpa-saṁsthāpanam" (Establishing God's Eternal Form), and liked the way it presented the facts about the Lord's existence in a logical, straightforward way. His purpose in writing this review was to interest educated Western readers.
