Varnasrama Book Update
By Rabindranatha Dasa ACBSP
 

November 1: On the day before yesterday I finished going through all of the books that will be in volume one of the Varnasrama book and now I am on phase two of this project of "copying" or rather going to the Vedabase and just taking out those parts that have to do with varnasrama that I already took note of as I was going though page by page in the regular books.

Volume one will be from 3rd canto of Srimad Bhagavatam and Srila Prabhupada's 3rd canto lectures as well as his conversations and letters from 1974. This volume as well as the volumes after this will each consist of everything on varnasrama of the following: 1) "Simply living and high thinking" i.e. living a life in Krishna consciousness on the land with cows. 2) Brahmacari (student life) and 3) Grhastra (householder life) 4) Vanaprastha 5) Sannyasa 6) Brahmana 7) Ksatriya 8) Vaisya and 9) Sudra and 10) Varnasrama in general.

The book will come out in the same kind of format as "the Spiritual Master and the Disciple" and "Sri Namamrta--The Nectar of the Holy Name" by Subhananda.

At a certain point all these volumes will be combined together into one or more volumes. Projected release of the first volume of the Varnasrama Book February 2007.
