Thus, in these pages you will find words that have been
written or spoken by Pujya Swamiji. The spoken words
have been transcribed as directly as possible from both
His informal “satsang” sessions and from His more formal
lectures. We pray that within these words you will
find not only the teaching for your minds, but the touch
for your hearts and your souls.
This book – in contrast to the earlier two editions which
had two sections – is divided into three sections. The first
section is a collection of articles He has written on a variety
of subjects, articles which have appeared in various
international magazines and yet which are applicable and
valuable for all people, in all circumstances.
The second section is compiled of stories – stories He has
told to audiences and followed with morals, divine lessons
for how to live our lives. These stories have their origins
mostly in the scriptures or occasionally in parables told by
other religious leaders to which Pujya Swamiji has added
His own special meaning and lesson.
The title of this book is “Drops of Nectar.” The nectar is a
reference to the pot of the nectar of immortality, which is
the essence of the story of the Maha Kumbha Mela, as the
first edition of Drops of Nectar was released during the
Kumbha Mela of 1998 at Haridwar/Rishikesh. However,
the true Nectar is Him. The true, divine nectar is not simply
immortality, but rather a connection with He who bestows
immortality upon us. To be immortal without Him
in our lives would be to live eternally, yet alone.
For those of us who have been blessed to have Pujya
Swamiji in our lives, He is that nectar and it is a great joy
and honor to share “drops” of this nectar with all.
The third section is a potpourri of stories, quotations, letters,
and poems which Pujya Swamiji has received via
email over the years and which He has marked with a
“save for book” and instructed me to put into a special
file. They are stories and quotations which He felt should
be shared with all, which could benefit all. Some of these
have known authors. Most do not. Some are common
and well-known, others are more obscure, but all are things
which He felt should be gathered and shared, rather than
simply deleted.
