The Teachings of Lord Chaitanya – original edition of 1968

Prahlada Nrsimha das – We are very honored to now for the first time ever make available a digital edition of the original Teachings Of  Lord Chaitanya, for free download, on our free ebooks page.

Srila Prabhupada’s original 1968 Teachings of Lord Caitanya (a treatise on factual spiritual life)

This is the first time it has been available in digitized format to anyone, ever! In regard to the 1974 second edition of Teachings of Lord Chaitanya, in 1967 (when this 1968 first edition was going into print) Srila Prabhupada has clearly said: “I do not want that Teachings of Lord Chaitanya should be edited again”  See below.

“I have already written to Rayrama about Teachings of Lord Chaitanya, that there is no need of editing the final manuscript. But let us prepare for its printing. He had some correspondence with Dai Nippon Printing Company of Tokyo, and our Dwarkadish did all the negotiations. Please contact him immediately and ask him to send me the correspondence he had with the printing company.
I also do not like too much editorial work. This too much editorial work on Geetopanishad has created some misunderstanding between the members of the editorial staff. Anyway, in the future one man should edit it, and that will be sufficient for our printing. And I do not want that Teachings of Lord Chaitanya should be edited again and typed again and time wasted in that way. I have also informed Rayrama of this, and you can also inform him like this. The book should be printed immediately, without any waste of time. That is my desire.”
Srila Prabhupada’s letter to Satsvarupa, December 23, 1967

Hare Krishna!
