    Assignment-1.

    Nectar of instruction is perfect guide in devotional because in devotional services the top most thing is
    to understand congugal past times of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna. Sri Chaitanya mahaprabhu appeared in
    order to teach this. So too understand this we need to fallow footsteps of six Goswami's.

    Srila Roopa Goswami the leader of all Goswami's has written this literature to guide us in our devotional
    service. In preface srila prabhuapada says that in all spirutual onces first duty is to control mind and
    senses, without this there is no advancement in KC.

    And by following this rules and regulations given by Roopa Goswami one can come to mode is of
    goodness by this everything related to how to make progress in KC is revealed to him.

    In NOI verses Roopa Goswami takes one from Shraddha to Prema gradually stage by stage. And Roopa
    Goswami in itself emphasizes the requirement of rigidly following regulative principles even at advanced
    stage of Bhakti. This eliminates all sahjiya tendencies.
