The Harmonist

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s earnest desire was to preach the teachings of Mahaprabhu and practice Nama-sankirtana (congregational chanting of the holy names) throughout the world. To fulfil this desire he started the publication of Sajjana Toṣanī in 1883 from Narail in the Jessore district of East Bengal. The Harmonist magazine was the English representative of Sajjana Toṣanī.

The History of The Harmonist Magazine:

The original version of The Harmonist was published in Bengali as Sajjana Toṣanī by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur in 1879. After his departure, his son, Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Prabhupada, the sole inheritor and preceptor of the GaudiyaVaisnavism, was responsible for editing the magazine. He himself used to edit the magazine. The magazine ran from 1927 till 1936.

The reason for publishing The Harmonist:

Srila Prabhupada has the aim to propagate the teachings and message of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu worldwide. He published this English magazine to fulfill this desire. This magazine shed light on several philosophical topics such as the knowledge of the soul (jiva-tattva), the nature of the spiritual master (guru-tattva), the nature of Krishna (Krishna-tattva), the knowledge of divine modes (rasa-tattva), Vedic and Gaudiya Vaishnava traditions, Vaishnava literature, comparative religion, Vaishnava behavior and etiquette, historical events, and social issues.
