Prema may be defined as the love of God, without any expectation of exchange or return. Actually the words prema and love are not synonymous because prema is considered to be higher than the feeling of love, yet one can say that prema is the highest stage of love. It is stated in Vedic scriptures that one who has attained prema is the most perfect human being.
Srila Prabhupada's books, lectures, conversations and letters offer a comprehensive presentation of this essential subject as seen in the Vaniquotes Prema category.
