7n: THE NECTAR OF DEVOTION

This book is especially intended for those who are engaged in the Krsna consciousness movement. The text is flooded with nectarean stories, philosophy and poetic verses about Krsna and His pure devotees-all taken directly from the Vedic literatures. It is a summary study of bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, which was written in Sanskrit by Srila Rūpa Gosvami, the chief of the six direct disciples of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

The subject matter is love of God. The Nectar of Devotion teaches us where to place our love so that all can become happy; it instructs us how to love the ultimate reservoir of love, Krsna, in five different transcendental mellows. The presentation of this authoritative information about the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, and our relationship to Him is simply the mercy of His pure devotee, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, the acarya for the present age, who is coming in disciplic succession from Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself.
