I am happy to announce that we are almost done with this work. Madanmohandasji has approved and the only hold up is in the appendix. I decided to include translations of two poems by Raghunatha Dasa Goswami: the Sri Caitanyastaka (aka Sri Sacisunvastaka) and the Gauranga-stava-kalpa-taru. These are poems upon which much the description of the activities of Mahaprabhu in Puri in the Caitanya-caritamrta is based. Sri Raghunatha Das Goswami was an intimate companion of Mahaprabhu for the last 16 years of his life. Compared to the other Goswamis Raghunatha Das had the most first-hand and intimate experience of Sri Caitanya. His works are the best windows into the life of Mahaprabhu as he experienced and demonstrated Krsna prema in action. Here is a preview of the cover: View AttachmentThere are still a few edits needed for the back cover, but for the most part it is done. Any comments? Looks FANTASTIC!!!

Do you and Madanmohan Dada-ji want to do this in a digital copy as well, i.e., ebook format?

I am happy announce that the Essence of Instruction is finally out and available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble around the world. You can find it on Amazon here.I tried to keep the cost down, but there are some beautiful miniatures of the loving couple in it. Color drives the cost up somewhat. We should have an ebook available before too long, thanks to Nilamadhavadasji. Hope the book is useful and pleasing to all you bhaktas.

Cool. I noticed it is not available till 6th Dec on amazon. It's available now. That is just the "official" release date. I had to trick Ingram for some reason. Since they have updated their web interface there have been tons of problems. I have complained, but things move slowly there. The on sale date is Mar. 8, 2021. It available around the world from Amazon. Access your country's Amazon site and purchase it that way. One can find it at Amazon India here. (1,139.00 Rupees!) Anyway, here is what it says on the book's page: Buy new: $14.95 Get Fast, Free Shipping with Amazon Prime FREE delivery: April 2 - 5 on orders over $25.00 shipped by Amazon. Details Fastest delivery: March 27 - 30 Available to ship in 1-2 days. So those wanting copies go ahead and order. They will ship now. Not you Madanmohandasji. I have copies ordered for you.

I am happy to report that we have sold 22 copies of The Essence of Instruction so far. If you haven't gotten yours yet, please do. The book can be purchased anywhere in the world. It is printed locally and shipped from a place near the mailing address of the purchaser. So shipping should not be too onerous.
Of course, many of you have the eversion that is posted here on the symposium and that is fine. There should be some perks for being a member of the forum. There are a few small errors in that version, but mostly it is fairly error-free. If you discover an error, please by all means let me know.
I will keep you all posted on the progress of sales for the book.
Upcoming next will be Navadvipa Das's biography of his gurudev Siddha Manohara Das Babaji called My Gurudeva. It will include translations of some of his written works in the appendices. Some samples of early versions of that are available in the Modern Texts thread of this forum.
