By the inspiration and initiative of Badrinarayana Swami, the Bhaktivedanta Research Center (BRC) has embarked on a new manuscript preservation project in its ongoing efforts to safeguard the literary heritage of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.
This latest project is focused on the digitization of a rare collection of texts, including numerous handwritten manuscripts, housed at the historic Shri Raghunath Bhatt Goswami Peeth in Vrindavan. This sacred site traces its lineage to Srila Raghunath Bhatt Goswami, one of the six Goswamis of Vrindavan, and his disciple Srila Gadadhar Bhatt Goswami. Although not widely known to the general public, the temple is revered and frequented by many senior devotees familiar with its transcendental and historical significance.
The initiative took root when Harsharani Devi Dasi, a disciple of Badrinarayana Swami based in Delhi who frequently visits Vrindavan, brought to his attention the existence of this manuscript archive. Instantly recognizing the importance of preserving such irreplaceable treasures, Badrinarayana Swami promptly began seeking contacts who were competent to undertake this project.
