Swiming in the "Nectar of devotion"

[Paramananda das]

Dear Devotees

Dandavat pranams

Jaya Srila Prabhupada

One of my favorite books of Srila Prabhupada is Nectar of devotion (they are all my favorites). Once coming from bookdistribution in Toronto, we where stopped at the US- Canadian border for passport check, and they searched the Van , the officer : " Held up a Nectar of devotion, we have to confiscate this one,this is a true treasurer", He then told us how he used to attend Srila Prabhupadas classes in Buffalo ,Upstate New York.

Tamal Krsna Maharaja once gave a one month seminar at ISKCON Vrindavana institute during Kartika ,we carefully discussed this book and read it several times. ( and devotees where fasting all night and day on the ekadasis in Kartika at night chanting all night long in Srila Prabhupadas house )

Alo Bon Maharaja, Srila Prabhupadas godbrother has given some wonderful purports to Bhakti Rasamrta Sindhu, that he was ordered to do by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada. 

Now Bhanu Swami has translated it with the commentaries of Srila Visvanath Chakravati and Srila Jiva Goswami.

Also my Gurudeva ,Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja has given a translation of Bhaktirasamritu sindhu bindhu by Srila Visvanath Chakravati Thakura

and commented on it.

  Bhaktirasamritu sindhu bindhu. you can find online: http://www.purebhakti.com/component/docman/doc_details/59-bhakti-ra...

Also Srila Prabhupada gave many lectures on Bhaktirasamrta Sindhu:

We should carefully hear these lectures and try to enter the "Nectar of devotion"

guru-mukha-padma-vakya, cittete koriya aikya, ar na koriho mane asa sri-guru-carane rati, ei se uttama-gati, je prasade pure sarva asa

My only wish is to have my consciousness purified  by the words emanating from his lotus mouth. Attachment to his lotus feet is the  perfection that fulfills all desires.
