Empty B, That's a very abridged version indeed when compared to Srila Prabhupada's work. I was able to collect the entire volume set of his commentaries to the Shrimad Bhagavatam which number to about 28 volumes--all of them bought from used bookstores in Seattle, WA.
I've read most of the chapters which have picture illustrations of the narratives. Even though I didn't meticulously read each of the chapters, I've learned a great deal about the vedic wisdom which is fairly similar to what MMY was teaching at the TMO. Specifically, the initiation invocation recited by the TM teachers is actually the same mantra for protection (Vishnu kavach) mentioned in the SB. Much to MMY's credit, he was able to digest the fruits of knowledge from the SB and expressed them in modern and scientific language which are found in his books and commentary to the BGita. Nonetheless, his teachings relating to Karma Yoga is quite different from Bhakti Yoga, which Srila Prabhupada taught. ---In [email protected], <emptybill@...> wrote : The best and most ideologically free translation of the Bhagavad Purana.
