It contains all of the standard songs sung in Krishna temples every day, as well as many \u003ci\u003ebhajans \u003c\/i\u003e(devotional songs) traditionally sung during special occasions, festivals, and other devotee gatherings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was compiled by Acyutananda Dasa, one of Srila Prabhupada's early disciples; Srila Prabhupada himself authorized the project and wrote the book's Foreword.

Songs composed by the \u003ci\u003eacharyas \u003c\/i\u003eare not ordinary songs. When chanted by pure Vaishnavas who follow the rules and regulations of Vaishnava character, they are actually effective in awakening the Krishna consciousness dormant in every living entity. I have advised Sriman Acyutananda Swami to sing more songs of the Vaishnava \u003ci\u003epadavali \u003c\/i\u003eand record them in books so that my disciples and others in the Western countries may take advantage of this chanting and thus advance in Krishna consciousness more and more.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large songbook has even more songs than the original, including \u003ci\u003eNarada Muni Bajaya Vina, Bhuliya Tomare,\u003c\/i\u003e and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bhakti Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48954140623073,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/3234\/0705\/files\/cover_sva_sb.png?v=1787195668","url":"https:\/\/www.bhaktieducation.org\/products\/songs-of-the-vaisnava-acharyas","provider":"Bhakti Education","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
