Śrī Śikṣāṣṭakam
Although Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura composed a Sanskrit commentary on the Śikṣāṣṭakam in 1886, known as the Sammodana Bhāṣyam, it is less widely known that he also wrote a second commentary in Bengali in the same year. This Bengali commentary was first published in Sajjana Toṣaṇī (Vol. 3, Issue 9), and while similar philosophical points can be found in both commentaries, the Bengali version delves into more detail in certain places. In the original Bengali, the verses of the Śikṣāṣṭakam along with their translations were not included. We have added them here for the benefit of the reader.
Tattva Sūtra – Chapter Five
Tattva Sūtra ('Aphorisms on the Supreme Truth') was originally written by Bharadvāja Muni, and commented upon by Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura in 1894 and serialised in his Sajjana Toṣaṇī journal in 1895. The Tattva Sūtra is comprised of five chapters containing fifty Sanskrit sūtras related to the Supreme Reality, consciousness, non-consciousness, their relationship and the conclusion.
Bhāgavatārka Marīci Mālā – Fourth Ray
In 1901, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura published the Bhāgavatārka Marīci Mālā (‘A Garland of Rays from the Sun-like Bhāgavatam’). The Ṭhākura took over a thousand quintessential verses from the 1800 verses of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and complied them into 20 chapters, or ‘rays’ which expound upon various aspects of the Bhāgavata philosophy. Along with the verses, Bhaktivinoda wrote a commentary called the Marīci Prabhā (‘An Illumination on the Rays’). This follows along the same lines as his Gītā commentaries in that his commentary is incorporated within the verse translation. Translated into English by Swami B.V. Giri.
