Tattva Sandarbha is the first of six founding documents that literally define the Gaudiya Vaishnava school. I dedicate this English rendition to common people without proficiency in Sanskrit or philosophical erudition. My goal was to translate each and every iota of philosophical meaning into English that is straight to the point, well-organized, clear, and as simple as possible. I believe that "Basic Truths of Gaudiya Philosophy" is a book that will empower "the masses" with direct access to the philosophical genius of Sri Jiva Goswami, and the Vedantic masterpiece that is Gaudiya Philosophy.
