The essential teachings of Bhakti Yoga were disseminated by Sri Chaitanya mainly through the writings of Srila Rupa Goswami who was one of the few people directly and systematically instructed by him. The substance of those teachings, the essence of all Bhakti philosophy, were expertly summarized and poetized in 11 verses called Sri Upadesamrita, translated and popularized by Srila A. C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada as The Nectar of Instruction. This seminar will be taught by Dhanurdhara Swami, a scholar of Sri Rupa Goswami's teachings. His book Waves of Devotion, a study of Rupa Goswami's BhaktiRasamrta Sindhuh (Nectar of Devotion) is one of the most widely acclaimed commentaries on the text in English.
