Foreword to Vaisnava Amrta

I dedicate this book to the lotus feet of my beloved Gurudeva Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami, to my eternal savior Srila Prabhupada without whom I would never have come to Krsna consciousness,I would not even know what it is.Especially this book is dedicated to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada and Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
