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. | Not long after the creation of [[Sarkarverse]], Abhidevananda began posting articles on Prabhat Samgiita.

The focus gradually shifted from an accurate line-by-line prosaic translation to an accurate and poetic, line-by-line translation. So any time saved in translation from Bengali to English was absorbed in the effort to find more appealing English expression as well as other modes of distribution. | ||
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 [[:wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]] pages. | At first, all of the translation work was published only on Sarkarverse.

In 2016, Abhidevananda began publishing his 50-volume series of books on Prabhat Samgiita, appearing on both [https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2/159-0345913-6065512?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Prabhat+Samgiita Amazon.com] and [https://amrevolution.org/ps/ AmRevolution.org]. In 2018, the number of distributors for Abhidevananda's Prabhat Samgiita books expanded greatly to include virtually all major digital services, courtesy of [https://draft2digital.com/ Draft2Digital]. In 2019, Abhidevananda stopped distributing his books on Amazon when Amazon rejected the second edition of Volume 13 due to Amazon's current [https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200673300 lack of support for the Bengali language.] Most recently, the translations by Abhidevananda are bundled in the free app, [[Prabhat Samgiita Player]], produced by [[AmRevolution, Inc]]. | ||

The first Prabhat Samgiita book | === The First Fifty === | ||
As an inexpensive introduction to the world of Prabhat Samgiita, Abhidevananda has published '''The First Fifty'''.<ref name="PSV0">{{cite book|last=Sarkar|first=Prabhat Ranjan|title=Prabhat Samgiita – The First Fifty|publisher=[[AmRevolution, Inc.]]|others=Translated by [[Abhidevananda|Acarya Abhidevananda Avadhuta]]|location=Tel Aviv|year=2018|ISBN=9781370555864|ASIN=B078PQ3DQ5}}</ref> This book, containing the first 50 songs, is available absolutely free of charge on various sites, including [http://onlyhis.name/tff OnlyHis.Name] and [https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/776850 Smashwords]. It is also available on Amazon.com at Amazon's minimum price (currently $0.99). Amazon was requested at least five times to match the $0.00 price but has refused each time. Eventually, Amazon did set the price at $0.00 after pressure of price-matching; but sometime later the price of $0.99 was surreptitiously, possibly automatically, restored. | |||
=== Fifty 100-Song Volumes === | |||
Abhidevananda's translations of Prabhat Samgiita are currently being published in a series of 100-song volumes at a rate of roughly 3 volumes per year. A second and complementary series of books is also being published that contains only Abhidevananda's translations (without the original lyrics) but accompanied by a very short reflection on each song. | |||
=== Timeline === | |||
The first Prabhat Samgiita book resulting from this translation work was published on 2016 May 21. It 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. | |||
