Introduction

This book is humbly offered at the lotus feet of our spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who has proven by action and words beyond contemporary comparison that he is in the direct disciplic succession from His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada, Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakūr Prabhupada, Jiva Gosvami, Rūpa Gosvami and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. We, the unworthy disciples of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, wholly accept him as the infallible guide and eternal father, and we do surrender our lives to his service. ISKCON Press has been created exclusively for the publication of Srila Prabhupada's writings. The press managers hereby pray to remain instruments of His Divine Grace and to publish Vyasa Pūja offerings in all our repeated births for thousands and thousands of years to come.
