Publications

Jiva Institute aims to make the wisdom contained in ancient Sanskrit texts accessible to everyone. Scholars at Jiva are working on the translations of various Sanskrit works in philosophy, grammar, theology, literature, music, drama, and poetry. Jiva Institute is an independent publishing house for Vedic works and topics that connect science and spirituality, eastern and western cultures, and traditional and contemporary thought. Jiva  also translates Sanskrit books upon request.

Dr. Satyanarayana Dasa has dedicated himself to translating and commenting on the Sat Sandarbhas,  which is the magnum opus of Jiva Gosvami, the medieval Vaishnava saint of Vrindavan from whom the Jiva Institute derives its name. These books give a systematic explanation of the theology and philosophy of the Gaudiya Vedanta School. Sat Sandarbha has never before been translated into English in its entirety. Satyanarayana Das Babaji has completed the translation and commentary of the Six Sandarbhas into English, which will be published over the next two years.

    Don’t get discouraged to study Sanskrit. To live and survive like animals in the material world you need only 4% of your brain. You need 1% of your brain for eating, 1% for sleeping, 1% for defending yourself, and 1% for pro-creating. You still have 96% of your brain to use. Why is the other 96% of your brain there?  Why did God make us like that?  That is to study sastra. And we need to understand Sanskrit to study sastra.
