"In our Krishna consciousness movement we have therefore limited our study of Vedic literatures to Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Caitanya Caritamrita and Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu. These four works are sufficient for preaching purposes. They are adequate for the understanding of the philosophy and the spreading of missionary activities all over the world." - Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya-lila 22.118 This lecture series was recorded in Los Angeles, 1993.

"Sri Rupa Gosvami was the leader of all the Gosvamis, and to guide our activities he gave us this Upadeshamrita (The Nectar of Instruction) to follow. As Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left behind Him eight verses known as Sikshastaka, Rupa Gosvami gave us this Upadeshamrita so that we may become pure Vaishnavas... To achieve the highest success in life by becoming a gosvami and then a pure devotee of the Lord, one must follow the instructions known as Upadeshamrita, which have been given by Srila Rupa Gosvami... One should follow these instructions very strictly. Then it will be easier to make one's life successful." - Nectar of Instruction, Preface This lecture series was recorded in Sydney, 1988.
