Lord Caitanya advented 500 years ago to bestow upon mankind the most intimate love of God known as prema-bhakti. He especially empowered Rupa Gosvami to write books of instructions how to develop this type of love following the sentiments of the residents of Vrindavan. Rupa Gosvami's The Nectar of Instruction (Upadesamrta) is a compilation of 11 verses outlining spiritual steps one must apply to cultivate such divine love.
