* PRABHUPÂDAISM.
-> "Prabhupâda galvanizes his readers theologically by harnessing the twin phrases, 'Supreme Personality of Godhead' and 'devotional service,' his unique translations for the two Sanskritic terms, bhagavân and bhakti. Ordinarily, we expect translation to be a step down from the original with something being lost, but in translating these terms, Prabhupâda accelerates their meaning, and in doing so, establishes them as the governing principles of his theology. (...) The second phrase, devotional service, Prabhupâda's translation for bhakti - which others simply translate as 'devotion,' 'worship,' or 'love' - is considered by Prabhupâda to be synonymous with dharma. Dharma is normally understood as 'religion,' 'law,' or 'duty,' but Prabhupâda explains it as the essential irreducible quality of the living being, i.e., service [see: Bhagavad-gîtâ 18-20; footnote in original, RV] 'This ontological sense of the word dharma as "service" is related to the translation of the important word bhakti as "devotional service": When a person's natural inborn quality of service is transformed back into one's original manifestation of service to God, this is called bhakti' (Schweig 1995). By emphasizing that that every living being can achieve perfection through devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Prabhupâda is able to convey to his community of believers the universal nature of Krishna consciousness. At the same time, these twin phrases themselves proclaim the kerygmatic (proclaiming) nature of scripture that presupposes a new event of understanding as the ultimate goal of its reading."

dovetail (to) verbinden met (vast ineen laten sluiten met - zie illustratie hieronder), laten passen, overeen laten stemmen.
-> Meaning of "to dovetail" according to: a.) Jayâdvaita Swâmî: "In S'rîla Prabhupâda's usage, it carries the sense of taking something you're already doing, or that's already going on, and connecting it harmoniously with Krishna through devotional service." b.) Dravida Prabhu: "'to join or fit together harmoniously'. S'rîla Prabhupâda's special: use 'to link some thing or activity or (especially) propensity to Krishna via devotional service, such as one's propensity to paint or make music."
-> Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 1999:
1. a joint formed of one or more such tenons fitting tightly with corresponding mortises. 3. Carpentry. to join or fit together by means of a dovetail or dovetails. 4. to join or fit together compactly or harmoniously.
dress (bodily/material dress) lichamelijk/materieel kostuum (o.).

duck / heron* kraanvogel (m.).
* PRABHUPÂDAISM.
-> [Q:] (Vaidyanath das): S'rîla Prabhupâda usually translates baka as "duck", but as far as I could understand he actually meant heron. It is also confirmed in "Conversations", vol. 4, p. 173 where S'rîla Prabhupâda explains phrase bakandanyaya. [A:] (Dravida das): Yes, "baka" should be translated as "heron." One interesting note: Monier-Williams Skrt.-Eng. dictionary confirms that a baka is a crane and also says it symbolizes a hypocrite, cheat, rogue, etc. [MW, p. 719a, RV] This is of interest, since it is confirmed that the demons Krishna slew all represent demonic tendencies that can be eradicated by hearing His pastimes. So it's important that it's clear in the books he slew a crane and not a duck. Also, watch out for these two words: "flavor" and "envy," or "envious." Prabhupada almost always used "flavor" to mean "fragrance," and I think it should be translated as such in the foreign languages. "Envious" often means "malicious," as when Prabhupâda says a devotee is not envious toward any living entity.
due (are due to ...) te danken aan, dankzij.
duly voldoende, behoorlijk (bn.), naar behoren.
