Preface to Tattva-vivek
a spiritual book by Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura

To our esteemed readers, this work by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has been translated by Sriman Kusakratha Dasa, late disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada – Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The reader can find biographical material at the end of this work. Click on link below.

Also there is some short biographical material on Kusakratha das as well

Tattva-vivek is a short, yet comprehensive outline of the Absolute Truth, and why it’s diluted into relative truth by the conditioned souls. Totally absorbing, and an empowering read.
Srila Bhaktivinoda begins:

“ Who am I? What is this world? What relation have I with this world?” To learn the truth, a
soul in this material world will always ask himself these questions.

This very beautiful translation of “Sri Hamsadutta” by Srila Rupa Goswami, is the work of His Grace Kusakratha prabhu (ACBSP).

Some of the literature, that Kuskratha Prabhu has translated, is so confidentially elevated that many devotees are not yet ready to grasp it. Nevertheless, these immortal works now stand as a vast body of reference material for the Vaisnava community to consult. Aside from accurately transmitting the words of the acaryas, Kusakratha has also rendered thousands of pages of glorification of Krishna through his personal English poetic composition. Some of these compositions have been published though many have not, as of yet.

More on Kuskratha Prabhu at bottom of post…but this is just a sampling of the Sri Hamsadutta before we post it here in its entirety.

May a certain blissful person in splendid yellow silk garments, the soles of His lotus feet glorious as a host of red roses, His form dark as a tamala tree, and His mouth playfully curved in a gentle smile, appear in my heart. (Text One)
