These аare the six books that Srila Jiva Goswami wrote. аIn Н

the аfirst аfour books he analizes the аsambandha, аbecause аthis Н sambandha is the theme about which are so many confusions and аso Н many аtheories and philosophies. So he wrote these four books аto Н analize аthis аin great detail, because аunless аone аunderstands Н sambandha clearly, he will not attain the goal.

He аwrites аBhagavat-sandharbha аand аKrsna-samdharbha. ааIn Н

Krsna-sandarbha аhe explains that there is bhagavan but there аis Н svayam-bhagavan and that is Lord Krsna. There is establishes Lord Н Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If Srila Jiva GoswaН mi had not writen the Krsna-sandarbha it would be very аdifficult Н to prove that Krsna is svayam-bhagavan. Here he does the most auН thoritatively work, the topmost research work of this аkali-yuga, Н to аexplain аthat Krsna is actually the аSupreme аPersonality аof Н Godhead, аbecause even in other vaisnava-sampradayas аthey аdon't Н accept аit. аThey аall think that Krsna is аsome аincarnation аof Н Visnu, аNarayana, аRama, Pradyumna or Sankarsana, аetc. аSo аmany Н philosophies. аIn Krsna-sandarbha he takes all аthese аarguments, Н defeats аeverything and establishes Krsna as bhagavan-svayam. аHe Н says that this is his cakravarti statement, or the emperor state great detail because there are so many аtypes Н of аbhakti. аThere аis аsaguna-bhakti, аnirguna-bhakti, аsadhana-Н bhakti, аraganuga-bhakti, bhava-bhakti, prema-bhakti... He аanalН izes аeverything. Even though bhakti has been analized аby аSrila Н Rupa аGoswami аin аhis аBhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, аin аhis аBhakti-Н sandarbha аSrila аJiva Goswami reveals so many new things аand аa Н wonderful analizes of devotion.

Finally аhe wrote Prti-sandarbha to explain the аprayojana-Н

tattva, аor the purpose, the goal. That is prema or love of аGodН head, because in our Gaudiya-vaisnava sampradaya we don't considН er аonly аbhakti as the goal but prema. For us аprema аis аbeyond Н bhakti.

These are the six sandarbhas. After analizing these things, Н

then аhe starts speaking about jivatattva and also аspeaks аabout Н Mayavada. аThere аare аsome аnice аlogic аstatements аin аTattva-Н sandarbha to defeat impersonal philosophy although he does not go Н into аvery much detail because in Tattva-sandarbha he just аwants Н to аgive like a gist. In one way Tattva-sandarbha is just a аgist Н of аthe sat-sandarbhas and then he expands this more аin аdetail. Н That is why it is called Tattva-sandarbha because it gives аthe Н tattva of this philosophy. And also he establishes the philosophy Н of аacintya- аbhedabeda in brief and he will explain it аin аmore Н detail in the Paramatma-sandarbha.

Srila аJiva Goswami himself also wrote a commentary on аthe Н

sat-sandarbhas. аAfter аwriting аthe sat-sandarbhas аhe аwas аnot Н satisfied аso then he wrote a commentary which is called а'sarva-Н samohadhi(?)'. аThis аis even more philosophical аthen аthe аsat-Н sandarbhas. аThe language of the sat-sandarbhas is highly аphiloН sophical аbut аthis sarva-samohadhi (?) is even аmore аdifficult. Н There аhe takes all the philosophies from Carvaka up to the аphiН losophy аof Madvacarya and Ramanujacarya and he finds defects аin Н all аof аthem and then he establishes that аthe аonly аphilosophy Н which is the highest, which is the heart of Srimad-Bhagavatam, is Н "acintya аbeda-beda". Even though in Paramatma-sandarbha he аmenН tiones this acintya beda-beda concept, only in sarva-samohadhi he Н makes it very clear that it is our main philosophical concept. In Н the аsandarbhas he defeats the mayavada philosophy but his аstyle Н is more mellow and from the point of Srimad-Bhagavatam. In sarva-Н samohandi he speaks more like a scholar quoting many verses аfrom Н the аUpanishads, аhe аtakes the statements аof аSankaracarya аand Н defeats all of them.

Then аhe аspeaks about the function of аMaya. аShe аcreates Н

illusion but she herself exists. Srila Jiva Goswami explains аwhy Н the аLord do not stop her from troubling the living entities аand Н he аsays because she is also a devotee and just as a criminal аhe Н may be beaten in front of the King and the King has the power аto Н stop the person who is beating but he will not do it because аthe Н punishment is good for the criminal. Maya does something good for
