S\u00c2RANGA – RANGAD\u00c2 PURPORT<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span><\/h4>\n

Srila Kavir\u00e2j Gosw\u00e2mip\u00e2d has written this purport.\u00a0 He is a poet of very high stature.\u00a0 This fact is very much evident from his texts such as Sri Govinda Lil\u00e2mrita and Sri Chaitanya-Charit\u00e2mrita.\u00a0 The S\u00e2ranga Rangad\u00e2 purport highlights his extraordinary wisdom, divine learning and expertise in bringing out confidential Rasas1<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0 He has drawn a beautiful picture of Sri Lil\u00e2shuk’s bh\u00e2v<\/em> in siddha-deha2<\/sup><\/strong><\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 While doing so he has narrated many wonderful and sweet pastimes.\u00a0 To tell you the truth, it is because of this S\u00e2ranga-Rangad\u00e2 purport alone, that the Goudiya Vaishnavs (who practice single-pointed devotion in the mood of Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni’s maidservant) love Sri Krishna Karn\u00e2mritam and find it so relishing. In his detailed explanation of Sri Lil\u00e2shuk’s internal feelings, he very cleverly transports us to the realm of ras <\/em>and enables us to relish through Sri R\u00e2dh\u00e2r\u00e2ni Who is the supreme relisher of Sri Krishna’s sweetness. In S\u00e2ranga Rangad\u00e2 purport he has quoted from Sri Git\u00e2, Srimad-Bh\u00e2gavatam, Vishnupur\u00e2n, Bhavishyottar Pur\u00e2n, R\u00e2m\u00e2yan, P\u00e2nini-Sutra, Mah\u00e2bhashya, Medini-Kosh, Vishwa-Kosh, Brahma-Samhit\u00e2, Yamun\u00e2ch\u00e2rya-Stotra, K\u00e2vyaprakash, Jagannath-Vallabh drama, Bhakti Ras\u00e2mrita-Sindhu, Ujjwal-Neelmani, D\u00e2n-Keli-Kaumudi, Vidagdha-M\u00e2dhav, Stavam\u00e2l\u00e2 etc.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our \u2018\u00c2sw\u00e2d-Bindu’ purport is a compilation of all three purports. However, we have laid more stress on S\u00e2ranga-Rangad\u00e2.<\/p>\n

WHY WE ARE PUBLISHING THIS TEXT<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span><\/h4>\n

In R\u00e2dh\u00e2kund, I had the good fortune to read and explain Sri Krishna- Karn\u00e2mritam in the association of Vaishnavs for good many years. The honourable Vaishnavs were especially pleased to hear the discussion based mainly on S\u00e2ranga-Rangad\u00e2 purport and the important sections from Krishna-Vallabh\u00e2 and Subodhani. Some of them had expressed their desire for a text that would contain all the explanations put together. I accepted the wish of the Vaishnavs as a command. We have accepted the original verses and purport from the editions published by Dr. Sushil Kumar Dey, which is in Devnagari script. A compilation of all the three Goudiya Vaishnav explanations have manifested themselves very nicely in this text along with the main verses and their meaning. We have used the original R\u00e2g\u00e2nug\u00e2 terminology to maintain accuracy of meaning and have tried to keep the language as simple as possible so that the devotees who do not have English as their mother tongue can also relish it. We have presented the Indian words in manner such that the English reader may pronounce them correctly.<\/p>\n

We offer our gratitude to the members of the editorial board – Sri Karun\u00e2mayi d\u00e2s <\/strong>and Sri Madhusudan d\u00e2s<\/strong>. We are indebted to Srimati Govind\u00e2nandini d\u00e2si<\/strong> for the priceless computer-sev\u00e2, which has facilitated the process of translation immeasurably.

We pray that all of them progress in the path of bhajan. <\/em><\/p>\n
