Sri Guru ..

The real position of Sri Guru is clearly outlined in the song Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada had everyone sing every early am at 4.30 .
Written by Srila Visvanatha Cakravati Thakur.
So within Guru tattva ..Diksa and Siksa are generally required, but not always .
If you want to know how Sri Guru is a confidential servant of Radharani , and you have the greed and inclination to know , approach someone who knows this tattva and is relishing this truth within themselves because it is revealed to them by grace and Bhakti Devi.
But there are many, many steps on the way each valuable in their own right .Guru is one and comes in many forms , if you really want Krishna he will send Sri Guru , it should be noted Sastra sanga has the potency of Sri Guru , if one is trnad api with all the Vaisnavas and does not think he is superior to anyone and only needs Sastra sanga , Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has stressed the importance of respect for one and all and tollerance. .

The Apasiddhanta of the Ritvic speculative persons are on full show because they have limited Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada, assuming he had not the potency to pass on Bhakti Devi into the heart of any disciples.
They also limit the pure potency of Sastra sanga assuming that the litratures of all our acaryas do not have the potency to carry pure Bhakti tattva and the lila pastimes described by Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Ragganatha das Goswami’s amongst many other pure representatives are not able to transport the sincere pure candidate by pure meditation to the spiritual realms .
The Ritvic speculative persons say only the Litratures of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada should be read , but that’s not what Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada said ..
