  Baladeva Vidyabhushana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Around this time, the members of the Sri (Ramanuja) sampradaya in the court of the king Sadacari Raja at Jaipur, Rajasthan, complained that as the Gaudiya Vaisnavas had no commentary on the Vedanta Sutra, they were not qualified to worship the Deity and therefore the worship should be turned over to the Sri sampradaya.
Thus Baladeva began to write, and within a few days completed the commentary which was titled 'Sri Govinda Bhashya'.
However, he declined their request by stating that amongst the four authorized sampradayas, the Sri sampradaya was highly respectable and the foremost adherent of dasya-bhakti (devotion in servitorship).

 VNN Editorial - His Heart Was Full Of Strength
Baladeva argued that the founder of the Gaudiya Sampradaya, Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu established the Shrimad-Bhagavatam as the topmost commentary on Vedanta.
With great humility, Baladeva Vidyabhushana refused, explaining that there are four Sampradayas, among which the Shri Sampradaya is a genuine school that preaches servitude to God as the best religious process.
Shripad Baladeva Vidyabhushana returned from Jaipur to Vrindavan carrying the message of his victory, Upon returning, he submitted to the lotus feet of Shri Vishvanatha Chakravarti Thakura and told him the news.

Srila Baladeva Vidyabhushana was born in the early part of the 18th century (1720-1790) in a village near Remuna, Balasore District of Orissa.
Baladeva was required to prove the validity of Gaudiya Vaisnavism to the rest of the Vaisnava community from a scriptural point of view, and thus become duly authorized to speak on matters pertaining to rituals ('puja') and Vaisnava religion.
Baladeva Vidyabhusana lived by the meaning of the following verse, knowing everything that had come to him was only the Lord's mercy, and all that he had achieved was by that same grace.

 Sanga: 12/26/99 Contradictions: Real and Apparent
Baladeva is said to have been present in Sri Caitanya's lila in a previous birth as Gopinatha Acarya.
Their differences are only apparent, and they are analogous to the differences in emphasis and style of Baladeva Vidyabhushana, who gave the siddhanta as it is, and Vishvanatha Chakravarti, who consistently presented the hidden treasure in his commentaries.
On this particular text, Baladeva Vidyabhushana translates aparyaptam as immeasurable; thus giving the upper hand to Bhishma, and paryaptam as limited, while Vishvanatha Chakravarti gives the upper hand to Bhima.

Thus, Srila Bhaktivinoda is the eternal assistant of Ananga Manjari, the eternal consort of Lord Nityananda.
Baladeva Vidyabhushana was originally in the disciplic line of Madhvacharya, but after meeting Radha Damodara Deva Gosvami he converted to Gaudiya Vaishnavism and became the disciple of Radha Damodara Deva Gosvami.
It was this Gopinatha Acharya who again took birth as Baladeva Vidyabhushana to reveal the Sri Govinda-bhashya, the natural commentary on the Srimad-Bhagavatam.

 Bhagavad Gita As It Is - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The book has been widely distributed, largely through promotion by the modern Hare Krishna movement and is published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
For each verse, the book includes the original devanagari script, a Roman transliteration, word-for-word Sanskrit-English meanings, a translation, and an extensive commentary by Srila Prabhupada based on various Gaudiya Vaishnava works including: Ramanuja Bhasya (in Sanskrit); Sarartha-varsini-tika (Sanskrit) by Visvanatha Chakravarti Thakura; Gita-bhusana-tika (Sanskrit) by Baladeva Vidyabhushana; and Bhaktivinode Thakur's Bengali commentaries.
Thus the book advocates the path of bhakti toward Krishna, who is seen as identical to Vishnu, in direct opposition to other monistic interpretations.

The commentaries of Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura and Baladeva Vidyabhushana in the Gaudiya lineage are, in comparison to Ramanuja's commentary, far less known.
Although Visvanatha and Baladeva occasionally differ, their differences remain within the parameters of the lineage's devotional conclusions (siddhanta).
Following the commentaries of Visvanatha and Baladeva in the Gaudiya line are the modern-day commentaries of Bhakti Pradipa Tirtha Goswami, Bhakti Rakshaka Sridhara Maharaja, and A. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

 No Vraja-bhakti in Bhagavad-gita? -- A response to Danavir Goswami
However, this is not the experience of the many ISKCON leaders who have actually read the book, as the quotations cited later in this article illustrate; nor is it the experience of the many devotees who are not members of ISKCON; nor is the book saturated with talk of the gopis.
Danavir Goswami claims that Swami Tripurari's edition "invents what Krishna is thinking and transmits this as if it were higher esoteric realizations." What he fails to understand, however, is that in most instances "what Krishna is thinking" is based on what Visvanatha Chakravarti and Baladeva Vidyabhusana have already stated in their commentaries.
It is also quite possible that in positing what Krishna is thinking, the author is sharing his own realization with his readers or the way in which the text affects him personally.

Noise, as distinct from sound, is not the artha-ashraya, or the shelter of meaning.

And yet 200 years after Chaitanya, Baladeva Vidyabhushana felt the need to write a bhashya on these supposedly "crystal-clear" sutras!
This because the Pandits of the day (without whose scholarly work, you would understand even less of these "crystal-clear" shastras) were laughing at the ignorance of the Gaudiyas.

 How to split words? - Audarya Fellowship
Even within the Gaudiya line there are commentaries by Acharya's that were written only a few hundred years apart where each acharya says that a word means the opposite as the other.
For example the commentaries of Baladeva Vidyabhushana and Vishvanatha Chakravarti differ on a number of key points.
It doesn't mean one is wrong, but that there are many ways to view the absolute truth.

 Radharani in the Vedas
Although presently there are no brahmanas of the Atharva Veda Paippalada branch found in Gujarat, thousands of this lineage are still living in the vicinity of the village Remuna, the birth place of Srila Baladeva Vidyabhushana, and in other places of Orissa.
In the absence of any help from ancient manuscripts, the original text of the Paippalada Samhita can be reconstructed even today from the tradition, which the village reciters still carry with them unimpaired.
In this area some rare Paippalada Samhita manuscripts have been found along with a number of hitherto unknown manuals of special Paippalada rites which give an insight into the social, religious and cultural traditions of Paippaladiyans found in the tapani literature.

I refer, for example, to the 11th Canto of the Bhagavata, where it says that intelligent people in Kali Yuga will worship the incarnation of Krishna whose color is not the same as Krishna's and who teaches the method of congregational chanting (the word sankirtan is directly used in the Bhagavatam).

The Bengali branch of Madhva's sampradaya is known as the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Sampradaya, or the Caitanya Sampradaya.
In the 1700s this school presented Indian philosophers with a commentary on Vedanta-sutra written by Baladeva Vidyabhushana that argued yet another siddhanta.
It is called acintya-bhedabheda-tattva, which means "simultaneous, inconceivable oneness and difference." In recent years this siddhanta has become known to people all over the world due to the popularity of the books of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
