Sri Krishna Caitanya

The Sankirtan mission needs your help!

Spanning 3 CD's and 40 hours of narration, thousands of copies of Sri Caitanya Bhagavata have been distributed since 2001, earning many letters of appreciation:

Hridayananda Maharaja - "I listen to Sri Caitanya Bhagavata during the day, and am enlivened to use many of the points I hear in the evening class."

Jayadvaita Swami - "I relished listening to this narration."

Indradyumna Swami - "I like to keep a copy with me and listen to it all the time."

Apurva Prabhu and Kamalini Mataji - "This Caitanya Bhagavat is splendid! We really love hearing such wonderful pastimes throughout our day."

Vaisesika Prabhu - "Damodar Prabhu is the perfect narrator for Sri Caitanya Bhagavata."

Ananda Vidya Prabhu - "I love listening to it while I drive across the country distributing books."

Following the successful production of the narration of Sri Caitanya Bhagavata, by the request of many Vaisnavas we have ventured into production of the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita.

We aim to offer the complete project by the Maha-Abhisheka in Mayapur 2008.

This new production includes 35 hours of narration on 3 CD's and includes an original background soundtrack from well-known devotional artists:

Flute & Harp - Mahesh and Brihan
Cello, Sarangi, and Strings - Hans Christian
Guitar - Dhiro-datta Dasa
Synth & Vocals - Mahatma Dasa
and other talented artists!

To date, we have completed the following:

1. Recorded narration and edited all verses of Caitanya Caritamrita (100+ Hours)
2. Recorded original background music compositions (35 Hours)
3. Designed initial CD artwork (15 Hours)

Our goal is to:

4. Include an extensive CD-booklet describing the special mercy of Lord Caitanya and the significance of His Lila's.

5. Record more musical artists to illustrate the wide scope of devotional music (traditional bhajans to contemporary international styles)

6. Launch a fully-featured website which will include:
• Lord Caitanya's pastimes in written form,
• Ability to Listen to Streaming Narrations,
• Links to other relevant Lord Caitanya websites/resources
• Narrations from other advanced devotees on Caitanya Lila.

The project is unfortunately being delayed due to insufficient funding. We would like to humbly request devotees to contribute to the project by donating either money, talent or resources.
