shrî sadâshiva caritâmrta - english version by Mahendra Bâbâ, Shâstrîjî Shrî Bâbâjî (me reader txt) 📕

Dear readers, dear friends in Bhōlē Bābā,

After fifteen years of constant endeavouring, organising and advertising, I am very pleased to publish herewith an e-book, containing selected parts of Prof. Dr. D. B. Kapp’s brilliant translation of the Shrī Sadāshivacaritāmrita composed by Shrī Mahāprabhu-jī Haidākhān Bhagavān.

The selection presents the following excerpts: Chapters I, 1-20; III, 1-7; IV, 1-16; V, 1-9; VIII, 1-14; IX, 1-12.
The verses in the original book, composed in Sanskrit and Old Avadhi by Mahēndra Bābā, are italicised in the translation. The texts beneath the verses are commented translations of the foregoing verses, written in a highly sanskritised Hindi by Vishnudatta Mishra (Shāstrī-jī).

With regard to comments on the translation, three of them may be quoted in the following:
(1) Shrī Dattātrēya Avatāra Mahāmunirāj-jī: “Please, carry on with the translation!”
(2) The renowned German Indologist, Prof. Dr. Dr. K. Mylius: “The translation is matchless and cannot be topped.”
(3) An Indian Professor of Social Pedagogics with Hindi as his mother-tongue: “Neither would I be capable to undertake such a translation nor would I dare to do so.”
While reading the words of the text, the beauty of this translation written in the spirit of the original, can be fully felt and perceived.

Every reader has the chance to express his own personal opinion. Hence, we would appreciate if you commented on the spirit of the book.

For donations in support of the progress of this great translation project realised by Prof. Dr. D. B. Kapp, the reader may refer to

In the name of Shrī Mahāprabhu-jī the reader is also kindly requested to recommend this e-book in order to comply with Shrī Bābā-jī’s wishes.

With kindest regards and many thanks in anticipation,
Yours
Dieter Jahnke
