Pankaja_Dasa Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I think that pride should be internal. "You have to hide your love away" as they used to sing... Yes very true, I accept this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pankaja_Dasa Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 "If there is no chance to serve the spiritual master directly, a devotee should serve him by remembering his instructions. There is no difference between the spiritual masters instructions and the spiritual master himself. In the absence therefore, his words of direction should be pride of the disciple.” ~CC Adi 1.35 (That's from the Purport.) I am proud to serve my Guru. :deal: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrajavasi Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Radhe Krishna, Radhe krishna, krsnaji, I am thankful to you for your messaage at #13. I am of the traditional view that manthra is always kept a secret and it is passed on by a guru to a sishya. I have pramaana for this from sources other than gaudiya sampradaaya. Somewhere in my mind, there was a click that earlier gaudiya aacharyaas should have opined same way about this. and you have provided the quote from Hari Bhakthi vilasam.

gHari Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 To me having a guru means you have someone to completely surrender to. You have absolute faith in them, and offer your entire being with full confidence that they will take you to Krsna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrajavasi Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Radhe Krishna, Very rightly said gaur hari. Guror anugraheneiva pumaan poorna prashanthaye it is only by the mercy of guru, a human becomes a complete personality. Lord krishna has demonstrated this to the world by becoming a sishya of sandeepani and the guru bakthi he had for his guru. he redeemed the son of sandeepani who was lost in the ocean believed to be dead. Complee surrender to guru is the action which would straight away lift a person to the lotus feet of hari. Radhe Krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
