Description

The Nectar of Devotion

Nectar of Devotion is a summary study of Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, which was written in Sanskrit by Srila Rupa Gosvami, the chief of the six direct disciples of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Lord Chaitanya, who appeared in India 500 years ago, is revealed by Vedic scriptures to be an incarnation of God in the role of His own devotee. He and His followers are thus the most authorized to teach us how to become perfect in spiritual life.

The subject matter is love of God. The basic principle of the living condition is that we have a general propensity to love someone. At the present moment, human society teaches one to love his county or family or his personal self, but there is no information where to repose the loving propensity so that everyone can become happy. That missing point is God or Krishna. The Nectar of Devotion teaches us how to stimulate our original love for Krishna and how to be situated in that position where we can enjoy our blissful life. The presentation of this authoritative information about the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, and our relationship with Him is simply the mercy of His pure devotee, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the acharya for the present age, who is coming in disciplic succession from Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Himself.
