“O Supreme Lord, I know that young girls have natural affection
for young boys and that young boys have natural affection for young
girls. I am praying at Your. lotus feet that my mind may become
attracted unto You in the same spontaneous way.”

from The Nectar of Devotion .
Chapter 9

This book is especially inter.ded to help establish eternal religious
principles for the benefit of all human bejngs. 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-rasamriu-sindhu, which was written in
Sanskrit by Srila Ripa Gosvami, the chief of the six direct disciples
of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord Caitanya, 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
most authorized to teach us how to become perfect in spiritual life.

The subject matter is love of God. The basic principle of life is that.

_ we all have a general propensity to love someone. At the present
_ moment, human secieiy teaches one to love his country or family or
his personal self, but there is no iiformation where to repose the
loving propensity so that everyone can become happy. That missing
point is God, or Krsna. The Nectar of Devotion teaches us how to
stimulate our original love for Krsna 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,
Krsna, and our relationship with Him is simply the mercy of His pure
devotee, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
the spiritual master in disciplic succession from Lord Caitanya who
is distributing the science of Krsna throughout the world.
