Prabhat Samgiita – Songs 1-5018 is a 50-volume series of books, expected to contain all 5,018 songs of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar's Prabhat Samgiita. The specialities of this series are the painstaking care taken to present accurate Roman Bengali and Bengali scripts for the songs, the new and poetic translations of these songs by Acarya Abhidevananda Avadhuta, and the extensive research done to elucidate the songs with footnotes when necessary.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
History
Not long after the creation of Sarkarverse, Abhidevananda began posting articles on Prabhat Samgiita. According to Abhidevananda, not long after that, he realized that the existing translations of Prabhat Samgiita required more work than a mere brushing up of the English. Thus, in 2014, Abhidevananda took up a 17-year project to retranslate all of the 5,018 songs. The projected completion of this literary work, at a rate of roughly one song per day, is for sometime in 2031.
According to Abhidevananda, as his proficiency in Bengali improved, the translation work became more and more intense. The focus gradually shifted from an accurate line-by-line prosaic translation to an accurate and poetic, line-by-line translation. So it seems that any time saved in translation from Bengali to English was absorbed into the effort to find more appealing English expression.
At first, all of the translation work was published only on Sarkarverse. After some time, that translation work was reflected on Abhidevananda's Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (contemplating the works of) blog. Later, the translations were also linked on various Facebook pages. Finally, in 2016, Abhidevananda began publishing his 50-volume series of books on Prabhat Samgiita, appearing on both Amazon.com and AmRevolution.org.
Publication
The first Prabhat Samgiita book resulting from this translation work was published in 2016 May 21. That was a compilation of the first 500 songs. That book was available for a few months. Now it is no longer available. Instead, that book was replaced with Volumes 1-5 in the current series. The 50th and final volume of the series, Songs 4901-5018, is expected to be published sometime in 2031.
