Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami was born in Delhi on Aug 14, 1944. He became an initiated disciple of His Divine Grace A. C.

Currently he is GBC of ISKCON around the world. He successfully opened the Sri Sri Radha-Parthasarathi temple in New Delhi, amongst many throughout the world.

Following in the footsteps of his spiritual master, He is spreading Krishna Consciousness all over the world by giving people, transcendental knowledge, and guidance resulting in solace, happiness and love of God.

‘Divine Instructions’ is a step to make available the teachings from the lotus mouth of our beloved spiritual master Srila Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaja. This book is a compilation of nectarine instructions from His Holiness to his disciples, which appeared in various letters. The instructions have been organized alphabetically into various topics for easy reference.

It is to be noted that what Maharaja says in a letter may be specific to the time he wrote and the person to whom it was sent. In this regard care has been taken, while editing, not to touch upon any personal instructions.

With this book, we hope to bring out the teachings that we all need and aspire to deepen our sincere prayers and service at his lotus feet.

We pray for Guru Maharaja's mercy, without which the purport of these teachings would never enter our hearts.

From the core of my heart I am thankful to Sitarani Devi Dasi & Sammohini Rupa Devi Dasi who took their precious time to edit this book. I am also grateful to His Grace Vrindavan Vinod Dasa who has designed a beautiful cover for this book. My special thanks to Bhaktin Divya Radhika who has whole heartedly drawn the sketches which we used at various places in this book. Also I would like to thank Anuttam Hari Dasa for arranging the design and layout.

We pray to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Sri Nitai Gaur Sundar, and our worship able deities Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi to bless them all with pure devotion. Also, finding ourselves unqualified to take up this task, I beg the blessings of all the vaisnavas in the service to Guru and Gaurdanga. Desiring the mercy of all the Vaisnavas.
