[Advaita-l] Uddhava Gita 1

[Abhishek RK]

Namaste,
Today being shrAvaNa kR^iShNa aShTami or shrIkR^iShNa janmAShTami, I
will post verses from the 16th chapter of the uddhava gIta (or 19th
chapter of the eleventh skandha of shrImadbhAgavataM), which forms
chapters 6 to 29 of the eleventh skandha of shrImadbhAgavataM.
uddhavagIta, like bhagavadgIta, is in the form of a dialogue taking
place between shrIkR^iShNa and uddhava. The translations I have seen
are quite poor. So I request the members to translate these verses as
much as possible. Anyway, translations are available at:
http://www.astrojyoti.com/bhagavatam11d.htm I will post these later.
