I was active in ISKCON (the International Society for Krishna Consciousness) from 1977-79. I haven’t practiced the religion since I left, but I still find myself to be interested in its philosophy and scriptures, for what that’s worth.I first encountered ISKCON writings in my college library, starting with Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead and continuing with the Bhagavad Gita and other books. Their most impressive book, at least in size, was Srila Prabhupada’s translation of Srimad Bhagavatam. It took up several shelves and each volume contained both translated verses and elaborate (and to my young mind, repetitive) commentary. I found myself reading the verses and skipping most of the commentary, and found myself wishing for a translation that lacked that commentary and included the R rated details that I felt certain Srila Prabhupada was leaving out.If Ramesh Menon’s translation of the Srimad Bhagavatam (AKA Bhagavata Purana) had been available back then it would have seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I would have read it and probably never would have visited the Evanston Hare Krishna temple or done any of the foolish things described in my own memoir of those days. It may seem strange to say it, since those days did not end happily for me, but that would have been a shame.The problem with this book is that it is not a simple, literal translation, but it is marketed as such. It bears the same relationship to the actual Bhagavata Purana as a Cecil B DeMille movie does to the Bible. DeMille’s movies are a sexed up version of their source material, and the more intelligent members of the movie going public understand that. If a sincere spiritual seeker took them as anything else, there are plenty of Bibles around where he can read the original story.Menon’s book, on the other hand, pretends to be a literal translation, to the point where important passages are shown as untranslated Sanskrit before the translation. If he had just done that, I wouldn’t complain. The problem is, he adds stories he made up himself to the text, embellishes passages having anything to do with sex, and adds sex where it doesn’t exist in the original. He also does what I must conclude are mistranslations. For example, he refers to the BP as “the secret Puranaâ€. Srila Prabhupada told us it was “the spotless Puranaâ€, in other words without flaw. That translation makes a great deal more sense than Menon’s.Another thing Menon does is refer to the cowherds Krishna grew up with as Gypsies. This is not accurate, even based on Menon's own translation. Krishna’s father Nanda is described as constantly giving away thousands of cows to the Brahmans, and not just cows but decorated cows, with horns plated with gold or silver. He must have had more money than Joel Osteen. He was no gypsy.Where Menon adds sexual incidents is of course in the stories of the love of the gopis. In the original text (from Prabhupada’s translations and others) there is no mention of Krishna and the gopis actually having sexual intercourse. The BP is not shy about people having sex. There are many incidents in the BP as well as in the Mahabharata where something happens specifically because someone was having sex, and the text tells you as much. It isn’t described in any detail, but you are told without doubt that it happened. For example, in an early section of the book two great demons are born because a woman couldn’t wait a half hour to have sex.My point is, Krishna’s loving exploits with the gopis are not described as including actual shagging. You’d never know that from reading Menon’s “translationâ€.While I was not impressed with Srila Prabhupada’s extensive commentary back in 1977, I have since come around. The commentary is important and necessary. Someone might disagree with it, but at least it represents an actual tradition in Hinduism and isn’t something made up by the translater.The BP expounds a philosophy with all of its stories, and Menon’s translation is so vague in places that you don’t get a clear idea of what that philosophy is. You can’t determine whether the BP says that the ultimate truth is personal or impersonal, or whether Krishna is the original form of God or merely an avatar of Vishnu.I will not judge whether the philosophy of the BP is true or not. Having said that, books in general and scriptures especially deserve to be translated without distorting the intent of the original author, and this book in my opinion does not do that.
VERY thin translation of the original source document. If you are interested in a more in depth understand of the Bhagavat Purana, you might want to find a more intensive translation. This translation hits the "very" high points and leaves out a lot of detail that might be helpful for a more in depth understanding.
Although the book is difficult to read because of many sanskrit expressions, the effort is rewarding indeed. You can google up the words and you will find many interesting websites during the process.This book is like a great symphony, which can change your life forever. I can quite frankly say that when I finished reading, I saw my life in different light. Suddenly all made sense. And I feel that now I can die without regret.
Came very well packaged! I was surprised because I anticipated some damages. It is definitely very dense to read but the language is easy to follow and those familiar with Hindu Mythology will enjoy the attention to detail. Totally worth it for the price!! I'm a college student and I have found it enjoyable to read slowly.
Spiritually transformative. I read it after reading Volumes 1 and 2 of the Mahabharata and I was happy I did so because this book narrated events from Lord Krishna's perspective. It filled the gaps from a historical context and made the reading experience more enjoyable. The narrative was equally engaging. The Eternal Truth and the ultimate reality are always relevant and a constant reminder that we are still living in the Matrix. The Bhagavata Purana provides the means to escape it!
This epic is beautifully written (translated) with heart stopping scenes of tenderness or heroic (entirely bloody) battles of good and evil . . . as it is costly, I've downloaded the kindle version and I am very happy with it. So portable, you know. What to say . . . this translation also has a good many sanskrit terms (transliterated of course) that are sometimes defined (I finally learned that a "crore" is ten million) and sometimes not, and have to be understood by context or maybe looked up. I am in my first read and am not looking them up. As I go, I find they become clear or don't matter but I am planning to go back again and look some of them up. There's a term punya that I think has to be something like good karma or spiritual credit though it's not a word I've heard or seen before.I am very happy to have found this work, mostly inspired to look for it reading the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna which, in the translation by Nikhilinanda does not have all these mysterious sanskrit words to sleuth out.O yes, silly me, I didn't know that Krishna wasn't celibate with the gopis!!!! And yet, the manner in which their love is celebrated is just exquisite . . . suffice it to say that nobody feels left out.This is a great magnificent wonderful story but also loaded with the kind of instruction and inspiration that is intended to deliver liberation just by the reading. This it claims it will do, to lift the lover of the divine, the reader of the tale, into the ultimate reunion, the oneness space, the communion with bliss and forever. Great great stuff. Later on I'll own a non digital copy. Probably.
To describe this book is futile, because to attempt to describe it is to attempt to describe the Lord Himself. The only way to know is to become it, and the way to become it is by reading it over and over. Recently, I've started reciting it aloud, and the effect of that is beyond words. I highly recommend this to any bhaktas of the Lord Vishnu/Krishna. Thanks Ramesh. I hope to meet you someday.
