AMRTA VANI
Nectar of Instructions in Immortality
by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
Thakura
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
Thakura (1874-1937) was the son
of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura,
appearing in answer to his
father’s prayer as the Thakura
worked tirelessly to reform
Gaudiya Vaisnavism and
to prove its preeminence
among world religions. Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
Thakura took up his
father’s mission and both
preached the conclusive truths
of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s teachings
and tasted the sweetness of pure devotion himself.
During his lifetime, he initiated thousands of disciples and
gave thousands of hours of careful and compassionate instructions.
This book provides a compendium of those instructions.
Like the Bhaktivinoda Vani Vaibhava volumes that have preceded it, Amrta Vani
is presented in a question-and-answer format. It was compiled by Sri Bhakti Mayukha
Bhagavata Maharaja, one of Sarasvati Thakura’s disciples. Following the system designed
by the compiler of Bhaktivinoda Vani Vaibhava, Bhagavata Maharaja posed questions,
then found the responses amid Sarasvati Thakura’s lectures, lectures, essays, and other
writings.
The Caitanya-caritämrta states, “Krsna is so merciful that simply by aiming His
instructions at Arjuna, He has given protection to the whole world.” When those same
instructions come through Krsna’s pure devotee, one cannot measure the benefit. It is
said that by associating for even a moment with a pure devotee one can attain all success
in spiritual life. This book provides the opportunity for such association.
