We have found a one volume edition of \u015ar\u012b Mural\u012b Vil\u0101sa<\/em>. This invaluable book has been printed by the most worshippable Prabhu \u015ar\u012byuta N\u012blak\u0101nta Gosv\u0101m\u012b and the honourable Prabhu \u015ar\u012byuta Vinoda-vih\u0101ri Gosv\u0101m\u012b. The book is complete with 438 pages. \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a\u2019s flute, \u015ar\u012bla Prabhu Va\u1e41\u015bivadan\u0101nanda, was born in the house of \u015ar\u012b Chaka\u1e0di Ca\u1e6d\u1e6da in the village of Kuliy\u0101 on the west side of \u015ar\u012b Navadv\u012bpa during the time of \u015ar\u012bman Mah\u0101prabhu’s appearance. The birth of Prabhu is found in this song:<\/p>\n kuliy\u0101 p\u0101h\u0101\u1e0da pure, chaka\u1e0d\u012b ca\u1e6d\u1e6dera ghare (\u201cIn the town of Kuliy\u0101-P\u0101h\u0101\u1e0da, in the home of Chaka\u1e0di Ca\u1e6d\u1e6da, \u015ar\u012b Va\u1e41\u015b\u012bvadana was born.\u201d)<\/p>\n His descendant, \u015ar\u012bmat Prabhu R\u0101ja-vallabha Gosv\u0101m\u012b has not mentioned Kuliy\u0101-P\u0101h\u0101\u1e0da. This is because \u015ar\u012b Navadv\u012bpa-ma\u1e47\u1e0dala is located on the east and west banks of the Bh\u0101g\u012brath\u012b. The nine islands are within a circumference of sixteen kro\u015bas<\/em> (thirty-two miles). Kuliy\u0101-P\u0101h\u0101\u1e0da belongs to Koladv\u012bpa, so that also belongs to Navadv\u012bpa. For this reason, R\u0101ja-vallabha has described Prabhu Va\u1e41\u015b\u012bvadana as being born in Navadv\u012bpa.<\/p>\n The book is complete with 21 chapters. In this invaluable book there is mural\u012b-tattva<\/em>, description of prema<\/em> and bhakti<\/em>–tattva<\/em>, a description of the birth of Va\u1e41\u015b\u012bvadan\u0101nanda, a description of Prabhu R\u0101macandra Gosv\u0101m\u012b, a description of the instructions and travels of \u015ar\u012b J\u0101hnavi Dev\u012b, vraja-tattva<\/em>, information concerning the associates of Gaura, Prabhu R\u0101macandra’s travels to Puru\u1e63ottama, his dar\u015bana<\/em> of the devotees of Gau\u1e0da-ma\u1e47\u1e0dala, his journey to V\u1e5bnd\u0101vana with \u015ar\u012bmat\u012b J\u0101hnava Dev\u012b, \u015ar\u012bmat\u012b J\u0101hnava’s disappearance in K\u0101myavana, Prabhu R\u0101macandra’s arrival at Gau\u1e0da with K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-Balar\u0101ma, his deliverance of a tiger, the establishment of \u015ar\u012bp\u0101\u1e6dha B\u0101ghn\u0101p\u0101\u1e0d\u0101, his miraculous feeding of the N\u0101\u1e0d\u0101s and Lord \u015ar\u012b \u015aac\u012bnandana\u2019s arrival in B\u0101ghn\u0101p\u0101\u1e0d\u0101 \u2013 all these topics are described in detail.<\/p>\n This book is especially revered in the Vai\u1e63\u1e47ava community. There are excellent teachings on tattva<\/em> written there. Its composition is not bad either. There is no doubt that Prabhu R\u0101ja-vallabha Gosv\u0101m\u012b was a good poet and a pure devotee. However, as soon as one reads this, there seems to be some things that are incorrect. There are no mistakes in the writings of mah\u0101-puru\u1e63as<\/em>. Therefore, when differences in l\u012bl\u0101<\/em> are described and chronological errors appear, this needs to be concluded based on kalpa-bheda.<\/em>(1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Prabhu R\u0101macandra\u2019s meeting with R\u0101ya R\u0101m\u0101nanda, and his having dar\u015bana<\/em> of R\u016bpa and San\u0101tana in \u015ar\u012b V\u1e5bnd\u0101vana \u2013 all such topics are not easy to understand. R\u0101m\u0101nanda\u2019s disappearance was before Prabhu\u2019s birth, and furthermore, other texts describe his seeing J\u0101hnav\u0101 Dev\u012b at Khetur\u012b and the journey to V\u1e5bnd\u0101vana to have occurred after the disappearance of R\u016bpa and San\u0101tana. How can all these chronological errors be solved if we do not accept kalpa-bheda<\/em>?<\/p>\n Anyhow, Prabhu R\u0101ja-vallabha Gosv\u0101m\u012b has satisfied the world by composing \u015ar\u012b Mural\u012b Vil\u0101sa<\/em>; again, the honourable \u015ar\u012byuta N\u012blak\u0101nta Gosv\u0101m\u012b and \u015ar\u012byuta Vinoda-vih\u0101ri Prabhus have printed this text and by doing so, have given special benefit to mankind. Devotees such as \u015ar\u012byuta Candra\u015bekhara \u015a\u012bla Mah\u0101\u015baya have spent their money on publishing such books. May \u015a\u012bla Mah\u0101\u015baya continue to spend for such pious activities \u2013 this is our prayer.<\/p>\n (1) Translators Note:<\/strong> Kalpa-bheda<\/em> refers to differences in a particular l\u012bl\u0101<\/em> occurring in different kalpas<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div> \u2018\u015ar\u012b Mural\u012b Vil\u0101sa\u2019 was first published in Sajjana To\u1e63a\u1e47\u012b, Vol.6 issue 4 in 1894. \u015ar\u012bla Bhaktivinoda discusses the book Mural\u012b Vil\u0101sa by \u015ar\u012b R\u0101ja-vallabha Gosv\u0101m\u012b, a descendant of \u015ar\u012bla Va\u1e41\u015b\u012bvadan\u0101nanda \u1e6ch\u0101kura, and also explains the concept of kalpa-bheda in harmonising chronological inconsistencies in the \u0101c\u0101rya\u2019s works. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":6556,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[264,560,172],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6553"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6553"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6553\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10617,"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6553\/revisions\/10617"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bhaktivinodainstitute.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
