Guru-tattva.
Only the mercy of Sri Guru saves.
Recently, a news article appeared in the newspaper about a plane crash in which only one person survived, and the Bhagavad-Gita remained untouched, without burning.
The scriptures say that in Sutalaloka, sensory enjoyment is billions of times greater than in Svargaloka.
Bali was surrendered (saranagati) and took refuge in Vamana Deva, therefore he was sent to Sutalaloka.
By the mercy of the Guru, you will obtain service in the transcendental Goloka Vrndavana.
Whoever takes refuge at the lotus feet of Srila Vamana Gosvami will simultaneously obtain service to Radha Govinda and Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
The comparison between Vamana Deva and Srila Vamana Gosvami Maharaja.
We must have much nistha in Guru-pada-padma.
Do not look at the face of that person who criticizes the Guru because it is through the Guru’s mercy that we obtain everything.
Externally, Krsna received initiation from Bhaguri Rsi, but Sri Krsna’s original Guru is Srimati Radhika.
The Guru is an expansion of Krsna.
Perhaps bhakti will come in another life or not, however in this life you must develop sraddha (unwavering faith) for your Guru.
The more attention you give to guru-nistha and guru-bhakti, the more you advance in Krsna consciousness.
The perfect siksa-guru will increase your anuraga through your diksa-guru.
Read the book: “My Siksa Guru and Priya Bandhu”.
Srila Narayna Gosvami Maharaja, wherever he went, he glorified Swamiji Maharaja.
Gurudeva is always present, but sometimes he is manifest and sometimes unmanifest.
First we have to become guru-dasa and vaisnava-dasa.
Krsna Himself brings Nanda Maharaja’s sandals upon His head, thus demonstrating the glory of the devotees over the glories of the Lord.
