An inquiry.

[madanmohandas]

I received in the post today Sri Navadvipa Sataka of Prabodhananda Sarasvati, but I wonderd about the provenance of the text and if it is really Prabodhananda's text. Do any of the learned devotees here know anything about it? My intuition suggests it might be one of Bhaktivinoda's pious attributions of his own work. There are some verses from Chaitanya Chandramrta that have been altered which seemed suspicious to me. There is also another text called Viveka Satakam, it seems perhaps more authentic; but I am speculating of course and have no actual idea. There is an author Dr. Demian Martins who has written an in depth analysis on Prabodhananda in his edition of the said work and he argues that the Nityanandaastakam, popularly attributed to Vrindavan das is also the work of Prabodhananda and a Chaitanya Chitraastakam, which I had never heard of before, and which I am currently versifying and will share when completed.

Incidentally it's quite sad to see the advertisement in support of Ukraine in NATO's proxy war with Russia. Why get caught up in all that BS?
