'''''Namámi Krśńasundaram''''' ("Salutations to [[:wikipedia:Krishna|Krśńa]] the Beautiful") is a book of 251 pages and 27 chapters (plus an appendix followed by a glossary) containing a collection of twenty-seven Sunday discourses given in [[:wikipedia:Kolkata|Kolkata]] [[:wikipedia:India|India]] between August 1980 and April 1981 by the [[:wikipedia:Philosophy|philosopher]] and social reformer [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] aka Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921–1990).<ref group=note>>Between 1955 and 1990 the author wrote in [[:wikipedia:English language|English]], [[:wikipedia:Bengali_language|Bengali]] and [[:wikipedia:Hindi_language|Hindi]]. He wrote in the name "Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar" when treating [[:wikipedia:Sociology|sociology]], [[:wikipedia:Economics|economics]], [[:wikipedia:Philology|philology]] and various other subjects, and in the name ""Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti"" when focusing on spiritual topics. Many of his books he gave as dictations; others were compiled from his discourses, some of them in small pocket-books.</ref> | |||
The author presents various aspects of the life and personality of ''Krsna'', discussing different spiritual and philosophical perspectives connected to him. The discourses, given in Bengali and recorded on tape, were translated into English (the translation started before the series of discourses was completed). | |||
As stated by the publisher on the book's preface: "the Bengali and the English books were both published on ''Ánanda Púrńimá'' (the full-moon day of the Bengali month of ''Vaeshákha''<ref group=note>''Vaeshákhii Púrńimá'': the full moon day of the month of ''Vaeshákha'' or ''[[:wikipedia:Vaisakha|Vaisakha]]''. In the Indian national calendar ''Vaisakha'' is the second month of the year, beginning on April 21 and ending on May 20. ''[[:wikipedia:Purnima (day)|Purnima]]'' is a sanskrit word that means "full moon". ''Vesākha'' (Pali; [[:wikipedia:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]]: ''Vaiśākha'', Devanagari: वैशाख) or ''Vesak'' is a holy day also observed by [[:wikipedia:Buddhist|Buddhist]]s. The exact date of ''Vesākha'' varies according to the various lunar calendars used in different traditions. In [[Ananda Marga]], the socio-spiritual organization founded by the author, this date celebrates the day of P. R. Sarkar aka Shrii Shrii Anandamurti birtday.</ref>), 1981. The Bengali version was later reprinted without change in a Second Edition (''Shrávańii Púrńimá'', 1981) and a Third Edition (1990). Many chapters of both the Bengali and the English were reprinted in Parts 6, 7 and 8 of Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell, 1988. In the case of the English, a certain amount of revision was done at that time by [[Ácárya Vijayánanda Avadhúta]] and ''Ácárya Vishvarúpánanda Avadhúta''. | |||
For the Bengali Fourth Edition of 1995, all of the tapes were carefully listened to, in an environment detached from the intense deadline pressures of 1981. Many previously-untranscribed or hastily-transcribed words and passages came to light. The new or corrected material was incorporated into the new edition".{{sfn|Anandamurti|1981-1th ed. and followings}} | |||
