Bengali Vaishnavism and the Legacy of Sri Chaitanya – Paperback

Description

It is well-known that researches on Vaisnavism in Bengal and its connected literature to a large extent were initiated under the direct patronage of the Asiatic Society almost since the beginning of the Society. In 1972 Sir William Jones, the founder President of the Society, translated Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda and in 1854 Rajendralal Mitra edited Karnapura’s Chaitanya Chandrodaya.

Prof. Chakravarti’s work on the subject was well received by the scholars as is apparent from the fact that the Society is receiving requests from the scholars for reprinting the book once again.

I am happy to present the present publication in response to the persistent demand from the scholars. I hope this will be well appreciated by the scholars.
