BOOKS' ARCHIVE


Free download here.



The Vidyabhusana Project has been launched to collect, preserve and translate the complete works of Sri Baladeva Vidyabhusana. The intellectual genius of Sri Vidyabhusana is equal in all respects to that of Sri Jiva Gosvami, Sri Ramanuja Acarya, Sri Vedanta Desika or any of the greatest philosophers, and it is most unfortunate that even among Vaisnava circles his works do not yet occupy the exalted position they deserve. He not only left an outstanding philosophical legacy, but also important works on grammar, poetics, literature, prosody and dramaturgy.

Almost 250 years have passed since Sri Vidyabhusana departed from this world, and since then only a few serious attempts have been made to preserve his works. In the first half of the last century, with great hardship Haridas das Babaji from Navadvip and Krishnadas Babaji from Radhakunda collected manuscripts from all over India and managed to publish a good number of them. Their books, however, were distributed in limited numbers and locations and have long been out of print. Several manuscripts have never been published, while others are supposedly lost. This is the proper time to excavate and collect whatever remains so that this priceless asset of the Gaudiya sampradaya can be preserved and made easily accessible.




Below is a sample of selected books and manuscripts that have been digitized so far. Some of the earlier publications are gradually being uploaded and made available for free here
