Sri Sankalpa Kalpadrumah: The Desire Tree of Auspicious Resolve

After taking shelter of this desire- tree of aspirations presented by Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, that is to say, in order to attain the desire for the seva described in this compilation, one should sincerely, and without duplicity, with body, mind and words, remain under the guidance of the devoted persons who are completely immersed in this seva. These topmost, incomparable and transcendental aspirations can then quickly be fulfilled. Thus, the name of this book, Sri Sankalpa-kalpadrumah, is appropriate, because it makes one’s desires bear fruit. The sadhaka’s life attains success only when the impetus to obtain these transcendental aspirations appear in the heart by the causeless mercy of the guru and Vaisnavas." (Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja).
