Sri krsna-karnamrta, Nectar for the All-Attractive offers hope to sincere aspirants on the path of bhakti-yoga. Hope and a guiding lamp, it sheds light on a land where Absolute Truth and Absolute Beauty live as one in the All-Attractive Divinity, a fresh youth who sits with cupped ears, thirsty to drink the nectar springing from the lips of His beloved devotee.
 
All beings yearn for love, for all beings are sparks of the Supreme Love. That Love is waiting for us all with arms outstretched, eager to embrace His lost servants. The Divine Potency, Srimati Radharani, keen to fulfill Her Beloved's every want, sends Her confidential associates to this world to deliver the fallen souls. Like ladders descending into a deep and dark well, our Gaudiya saints have come, extending their hands to lift us up and carry us across the fearsome ocean of repeated birth and death to our souls' eternal home in Vraja. Such saints have offered the highest possible destination to the most wretched, granting entrance into the loving service of the Divine Couple, Sri Sri Radha- Krsna.
A Gaudiya saint of the highest caliber, our Divine Master, Om Visnupada Bhaktabandhava Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Cosvami Maharaja, Srila Gurudeva, appeared in this world in the village of Tiwaripura, Bihar, in 1921, and re-entered Radha-Krsna's eternal pastimes in December 2010. He was an unprecedented revolutionary, fearlessly spreading to the entire world the message of pure devotion to Sri Krsna through the guidance and service of Srimati Radharani.
It may appear to the unobservant eye that our beloved master and guardian Srila Gurudeva has departed, leaving us forsaken. His intimate servants emphatically teach us that this is not so. Srila Gurudeva is waiting just behind the curtain of our mundane perception, like a mother who tells her children she is leaving home, only to remain hidden to watch their actions in her apparent absence. Srila Gurudeva is always with us. He is our foundation rock, ever-supporting, and our fountain of life, ever-nourishing our souls with the nectar topics of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.
 
Srila Gurudeva is always present in the eternal pastimes of Sri Sri Radha- Krsna and, from there, he nourishes his followers with bari-katha by speaking through the flute-like vessels of his pure-hearted disciples. Srila Gurudeva's vani is eternally present, although sometimes it is manifest and sometimes it may be hidden. If a man records someone speaking, then he can later hear the speech at will. Some may say, "That was spoken in the past–it is gone." But the recording is present and, whenever one likes, one can listen to it. Similarly, for those in whose hearts Srila Gurudeva is present, all Gurudeva's Vani is present in their hearts as well, and, whenever Gurudeva inspires them to, they will manifest that guru-Vani for the benefit of the world.
