Synopsis

Prabhupada Nectar brings together anecdotes from Shrila Prabhupada's life received through interviewing hundreds of persons who encountered His Divine Grace. Often people carry these anecdotes, stories, and remembrances of Shrila Prabhupada as precious jewels, etched in their minds and hearts and they find ever-increasing pleasure in sharing their experiences with others. Knowing a great person is rare but even one encounter with a modern-day saint such as Shrila Prabhupada, who is most dear to Krishna (God), can free that person from untold misery. The stories here are not organized by subject but presented in the way they were experienced, as life--filled with Shrila Prabhupada's comments on many subject matters such as politics, religion, Vaishnava behavior, and most significantly, how to love God and His devotees through the rich variety of exchanges in those relationships. Anyone can read about these exchanges with Shrila Prabhupada and, by recognizing and understanding the authenticity of his teachings, they will laugh, be moved, challenged, and ultimately inspired by their intimacy and grace.
