SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI : INTRODUCTION

Introduction

Known for decades as Kirtan Guide in English, this holy book containing the kirtans chanted at Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math has previously been published in English multiple times.

As the need arose to reprint this holy book for the service to the worldwide community of devotees, this edition has been translated (offering more accurate rendition based on the original Bengali texts and authorised translations as well as profound precepts gleaned from the holy discourses of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj and other worshippable guru-varga) reflecting the original Sri Gaudiya Gitanjali kirtan collection that was first compiled and printed in Bengali at our Math in 1983 and later expanded through three further editions (in 2001, 2011 and 2024).

We pray that merciful adosa-darasi devotees may overlook any inadvertent mistakes that may have been made when producing this holy book and accept it as spiritual assistance in their eternal service to Sri Guru, Vaishnavs and the Lord.

Humbly,
The editor and publisher of this English edition,
Swami Bhakti Tilak Niriha
