Bhakti Vedanta - Several Languages

Introduction :

The 3 texts Bhagvad Gita, Srimad Bhagvatam and Caitanya Charitrmrta constitute the crux of Vedas dealing with Bhakti or Love and Devotion of God. The App offers aggregation of these 3 texts as available online for ALL MAJOR LANGUAGES IN USE ON THE PLANET.

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder acharya of The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), had trifurcated the BhaktiVedanta into 3 categories if executed and applied in daily practical life - Bhagavad Gita as preliminary studies, Srimad Bhagavatam as intermediate studies and Chaitanya Charitrmrta /Ujjvala-Nilamani as advanced studies for kaliyuga.

Bhagvad Gita:

It can be broadly divided in to 3 sections:

1. Chapter 1 to 6 on Meditation and the popular word ‘Yoga’

2. Chapter 7 to 12 on Devotion and Love of God

3. Chapter 13 to 18 on Existence and Components of Creation

Other direct words of Krishna are found in Uddhav Gita, Uttara Gita and Anu Gita.

Srimad Bhagavatam :

Srimad Bhagavatam was born out of bountiful compassion of Srila Vyasa (Bhagavad Gita 10.37) for the population of kaliyuga. Srila Vyasa was not getting the "real taste" or rasa (love of Godhead) even after compiling Mahabharata, dividing the Vedas into 4 parts and composing other scriptures. Thus, His Holiness compiled narrations/stories of The Supreme God, the Father, in His various avatars, incarnations and personalities which the Father does from time to time and in ever yuga to protect the righteous, to annihilate the wicked, and to reestablish the principles of religion.

Sri Chaitanya Charitrmrta :

It is the current-yuga dharma describing the activities of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Swayambhu incarnation of God as a devotee, who incarnated as per schedule to establish congregational chanting of Krishna's names and the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra as the primary mode of worship in kaliyuga. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu loved Krishna from the point of view of God's/Krishna's foremost and topmost devotee - Radha, in the taste (rasa) of separation and paramour mood.

He came to experience the love She feels for Him, and to show by example how to fully surrender to Krishna (application of all verses in direct words of Krishna as found in Bhagavad Gita, Uttara Gita, Uddhav Gita and Anu Gita in sentiments of Love). He exhibited symptoms of love of God to the highest degree, and emphasized chanting the holy names of Krishna as the best means to attain love of God.

Lord Krishna in His form of Lord Chaitanya most generously distributes love of God to the fallen people of the age of Kali. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu bestows what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love through His own personal demonstration which is documented as a scientific-art in Sri Ujjvala-Nilamani (part 2 of Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu) by Srila Rupa Gosvami of Vrindavan who is counted as His the foremost intimate disciple along with the Panchtattwas of Nabadwip and three and a half intimate associates (not disciples) of Gambhira, Puri.
