Vaishnava songs of Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura

From Songs of Vaishnava Acaryas by Bhaktivinoda Thakura.

This chapter draws twenty-four of Bhaktivinoda Thakura's songs into a single anthology alongside comparable selections from Narottama dasa Thakura and other Vaishnava acaryas elsewhere in this same book, distinct from his own standalone songbooks — Saranagati, Gitavali, Kalyana-kalpataru, and Gita-mala — covered individually elsewhere on this site, each of which has its own dedicated essays by section. A song can appear both in its original book and again here, since the two represent different ways of organising the same body of work: one by the songbook Bhaktivinoda himself compiled it into, the other by author, alongside his contemporaries and predecessors in the Gaudiya line.
