We have been working on a few updates to Purebhakti.com which were posted on the 100th Centennial Appearance Celebration titihi of Srila Gurudeva.

Vaisnava Calendar Update:

For the Vaisnava Calendar, we added more detailed information such as Tithi and Nakshatra ending times along with sunset time for each location.  We also added skipped Tithis (those that  start after sunrise and end before next sunrise).  You can read a more detailed explanation here.

However, the most amazing addition to the Vaisnava Calendar, are links to Hari-katha  that was previously spoken on a particular Tithi (Tithi hari-katha), and links in the calendar events themselves that bring up a listing of articles related to the event.   Please click on these calendar links to experience this feature yourself.

Rays of the Harmonist in Spanish:

Three recent Rays of the Harmonist English articles have been translated into Spanish for Srila Gurudeva's Centennial with a  promise to translate more on a regular basis (every month).  You can find those Spanish Rays articles here.

Srila Gurudeva's Personal Library:

You now can download Sanskrit, Hindi and Bengali texts that Śrīla Gurudeva collected since 1946 and referred to while preparing his translations and commentaries.

“I have a collection of many priceless books in my library. Most were given to me by my guruvarga, as their blessings – some by my Guru Mahārāja (Śrīla Bhakti Prajñāna Keśava Gosvāmī Mahārāja), some by Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Svāmī Mahārāja, some by Śrīla Bhakti Sarvasva Giri Gosvāmī Mahārāja, and some have been affectionately given to me by other Vaiṣṇavas."  Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja
