The Essence of All Advice - English

This book captures the wonderful interactive nature of a series of eleven classes given in Badger, California, 1997. The reader thus feels present in that assembly and thrilled to receive the combined instructions of Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja and Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja (Srila Prabhupada) on Srila Rupa Gosvami's Sri Upadesamrta. Anyone who wants to remember and practice these teachings will find an abundance of inspiration in the pages of this book.

During his second tour to the United States in May, 1997, our beloved Gurudeva, on visnupada paramahansa parivrajakacarya astottarasata Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, delivered a series of eleven lectures in Badger, California, on Srila Rupa Gosvami's Sri Upadesamrta as translated and commented on by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He spoke these lectures with the aim of encouraging Srila Prabhupada's disciples and followers to move forward in their devotional practices.
Beginning with verse five, Srila Narayana Maharaja lectured for eleven days on all the remaining verses of Sri Upadesamrta. Reading directly from Srila Prabhupada’s translations and purports, Srila Narayana Maharaja reveals the sublime spiritual wealth contained within those explanations. Quoting from the writings of Srila Rupa Gosvami, Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami and other acaryas in our disciplic succession, he clearly establishes the connection between Srila Prabhupada’s writings and the most confidential teachings of our greatest acaryas.
