Radhe Radhe!
I found this translation of Sri Sri Gaura Govinda Lilamrita Gutika (of Sri Gopala Dasa) on an old Gaudiya Discussions thread. Translation done by Minaketana Ramdas-ji (maybe I should cut and paste all of it in this thread for preservation's sake?):

It seems to me that there are many different 'Gutikas'. The most famous appears to be the one by Siddha Krsnadas Baba of Govardahan. And maybe the different versions are different translations and/or commentaries on his Gutika? I know that Nitai Das-ji had done some work on one in the past. Here's the link to that one on his Bhajan Kutir site: www.bhajankutir.net/gutika/kdg-master.pdf. Nitai makes a footnote on page 10 of that pdf that the author is "Sri Madan Mohan Das Baba" although the title page has Krsnadas Baba as the author. So again, perhaps Madan Mohan Das Baba was the editor rather than the author??
I've been reading the one on Bhajan Kutir and it's pretty fantastic. I also have bits and pieces of other Gutika translations titled:
Seems like these are all related. Can anyone clarify please?
Sri Sri Gandharvika Giridhari ki jai!

- Gutika Gauranga Astakaliya Lila by Siddha Krsna Dasa Babaji (intro by Sri Ananta Das Babaji; translation by Advaita Das)
- Lila by (Siddha) Krsna Dasa Babaji / Naimittika Lilas
- Sri Sakhicarana Das Babaji Maharaja's Gaura Govinda Lilamrita Gutika Sutra
- Yogapitha Seva from Siddha Krsna dasa Babaji's Gutika, "a literal translation from Sri Sri Gaura Govinda Lilamrita Gutika" by Sri Ananta Das Babaji Maharaja
- Dandatmika Seva which is by Siddha Krsnadas Babaji Maharaja translated by Dasarath Suta (it looks like). I wonder if this is from his Gutika or from elsewhere?
- Sri Sri Gaura Govinda Lilamrita Gutika by Sri Ananta Das Babaji Maharaja
Seems like these are all related. Can anyone clarify please?
