RESPECTED FRDS again ,

 

well truly each and every mantra is the almighty and none is! as to

GURU , hmmmmm who ultimately is GURU? is he/she any different from

you? or is he/she a part of you or vice versa or you yourself? is

atman "THE" guru? its said "KRISHNA VANDEY JAGATGURURUH" but what

does krishna represent in geeta? is it not our soul? is it not

realising our soul being "BRAHMAN"

no , am neither realised nor learned, just trying to say c'mon

buddies try and do "chintan" i.e think and understand, what is rightt

and best for you!

regards

jai ambey mahakali hree kaala bhairavaiya namash,

rajat
