Hare Krsna prabhu, Jai Srila Prabhupada

Wonderful perspective prabhu, one more aspect which can be shared in this regards is that Srila Prabhupada said that His books are His transcendental ecstasies and a reference to this is stated in BG 11.19 purport regarding repetition. Arjuna was repeating the same thing due to ecstacy of wonder. So Srila Prabhupada says in purport as follows -

"Here and in many other places there is repetition, but according to the scriptures, repetition of the glories of Kṛṣṇa is not a literary weakness. It is said that at a time of bewilderment or wonder or of great ecstasy, statements are repeated over and over. That is not a flaw." (Bg 11.19 p)

Hare Krishna! Thank you for writing on this. You helped me to understand significant details about the way Srila Prabhupada writes both his verses and the purports! Very interesting. I have noted that he always adds details but was unable to put in in words like you did. What also resonated with me always when he was repeating on some subject, was the "repetition is a mother of wisdom" everytime i read those points again it reinforces the importance and proper perspective to me. Thats very powerful. Because it has to destroy much of my illusuon and set things properly.
