if the Siksastaka is the only thing written by Mahaprabhu, what about Jagannathastakam ?

There are many prayers with the name ending in "-astakam", indicating not the author but the number of verses. The Siksastaka was said to have been the only written work by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; the Jagannathastakam had a different author.

Bhaktivedanta Translations

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have restored the English translations by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. I feel it is important that his translations are included, as he was one of the first to spread the teachings of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in a major way to the western world, and in English, and because he is in the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya-Sampradaya parampara, and because parampara, or disciplic succession, is a very important part of how teachings are passed down in the Vedic tradition, and because he was a renowned Sanskrit scholar who translated many major works into English and Bengali (Bhagavad-Gita, Bhagavat Purana/Srimad Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Charitamrita, Brahma Samhita, Sri Ishopanishad, Bhakti-Rasamrita-Sindhu, Upadeshamrita, and others). Please do not remove them. It is true that his translations sometimes include implied purports of the text that may not be in a literal word-for-word translation, so I have left the more literal translations that OmBaba has added, because they may also have some value. I have clearly delineated both so one can see which is which, as well as clarified some of the English in the literal versions. I have also added citation links to the original text, to Bhaktivedanta's translations, and to a Sanskrit dictionary for one of the translations. AaronW from ABQ (talk) 17:12, 3 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
