Today, 10th July, is Sri Guru vyasa Purmima .

An auspicious day indeed , Sri Guru represents the disciplic succession,  Sri Guru has his Guru deeply embedded in his heart , but within such a Guru is the heart of his Guru , and within that Guru the heart of his Guru.

The importance of understanding our spiritual heritage and the specific teachings of all our Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas can not be minimised , and the trancendental services to Radha Krishna that stem from the teachings Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu gave the Goswami’s are played out in the heart of Sri Guru who comes in many forms both Diksa and Siksa . Some appearing as very prominent some less so , but for instance,  Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja heard his Diksa Guru recite a verse glorifying Srimati Radharani, and upon hearing his Guru an overwhelming realisation of his trancendental position was instilled into his heart .

In the past, misconceptions arose that of an over glorification of one Guru , without understanding Guru Tattva,  so foolish was it that a prominent early member of ISKCON trampled on the books of Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja,  saying only Prabhupada and his books need reading Prabhupada has said it all and into the future .

Although Prabhupada himself told all his disciples, they should write and publish their realisations. The misunderstandings were due to a fraudulent wish of taking power exclusively for themselves,  that only one Guru , the Diksa has to be  everything and holds everything in his hand , and  there is no need to understand anything of traditions of disciplic succession and  no need of any Siksa .Such immaturity has gradually faded , Sri Guru is our life and soul that’s a fact , but it’s to be understood in context.

Thus, on this day, it is good to take the view of our disciplic succession as a whole and realise space time has no place in trancendental affairs. Sri Guru is one who knows truth and all trancendental tattva
