  • Progress out of maya .

    Liberate not Liberalisation.

    Racism is condemned by all good thinking persons .  Bone fide religious teaching naturally teaches of the soul , the body is the machine that carries the soul . Fools stoke up hatred, and the wise persons bring unity . An external machine has no real bearing when it comes to real knowledge , which is naturally accompanied by understanding and compassion. Understanding consciousness and self-evident truth evades political animals. The equality of all persons was clearly understood by the original founding fathers of the USA , ( although they had their limited USA bias incoperating hypocritical thinking) at least academically , they thought of it , and wrote it into their constitution that this equality is a self-evident truth . Indeed, it is , to sensibly situated and balanced educated persons . Incidentally , those persons of wisdom beyond a body should be leaders , not peddlers of hate and division who thrive in the ignorance of their bodies .

    The questions come regarding freedoms, just how far do you want to take liberal democracy , and the rights of freedom of expression and lifestyle ? fools preach freedoms that bind , the wise teach restrictions that bring freedom. It seems  currently the majority of unthinking persons can become easily fooled and convinced by a small minority of other more influential but just as unthinking persons . Those who have the means and money , generally acquired by dubiously monopolised global conglomerates , and these unthinking businessmen promote messages . Why listen? Their ignorance is shown by their messages,  “what was previously thought of as  harmful is actually good for everyone .”  “Eat , drink , be merry and have sex unlimitedly without restrictions ”  are their atheistic messages . ” Scientific materialism and Darwinian theories bring us freedoms to become sophisticated animals ”  “Such messages should be openly broadcast in the name of freedoms ” they say. Whilst the world plunges into the depression of depravity and loses its inner spiritual bliss .

    What are the measuring tools for the levels of liberalism if  any , who is able to give references , what is the source, and why should it be accepted ?

    Scientific knowledge of the workings of the body , mind, and consciousness will need to be  studied. The psychological effects of so-called freedoms are actually already available , but ignored by leaders who are the pups of conglomerates.  Human existence must be carefully utilised for the greatest benefits of individuals and communities and nations . This means the  leadership by the Sattvic intelligentsia must be in place . The Vedas indicates there are always an intelligentsia within societal stuctures , there always has been and always will be . Divinity has the responsibility to guide societal affairs and He does so by favouring the Brahminical classes , they are the essential elements in society . They spontaneously have a heart for all living beings, and through their applications of theological studies, they are scientifically in tune with nature , psychological matters ,spiritual matters, and social sciences of every kind . They can explain in detail what is good and why its good and what is bad and why its bad . They can set practical programs to bring the attached to detachment . Many have become addicted to the bad because of following fools . People need the path out of their  troubles,  they want to experience the higher tastes of the good . Goodness , passion, and ignorant modes of life require a thorough understanding , and the Sattvic Brahminical classes know these topics well . Developments of all psychological kinds need  understanding , the reasons why lifestyle and actions affect the deeper psychological journey . Good and bad should be taken into account , but why are they so? It must be known in detail and  taught . The real intelligentsia are aware of these sensitivities , but not animal like leaders , who do not take advice from the intelligentsia but rather ignore them , and plunge societal affairs into hellish conditions. Fools and demons promote animalistic freedoms ,  this is the real problem society is facing. Fools have voted in fools , and the results are clear . The science of consciousness is given  clearly in the Vedas . Full understanding of the exchanges and potentials of love based on knowledge is given .  Alongside are indications of a self-imposed degradation of consciousness causing the original pure consciousness to decend to the lower depths of unlimited lust are warned about . There are bodies of many many types to facilitate that type of consciousness,  its spontaneously delivered by the material energies within 8,400,000 species of life . What is the cause of all causes , Richard Feynman admitted was a difficult topic , but there is always a cause of everything , nothing happens by chance , and everything has a scientific explanation . This supreme science is discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam third canto. THE fundamental principles of material nature.

  • Everyone has to serve somebody

    Sep 15th, 2026

    Life is made as such that rendering service is a fundermental and underlying principle . Indirectly or directly, practically all beings are serving somebody or unknowingly playing a part in the harmonious and interconnected activities of nature .

    It’s a universal law that has its spiritual origins based in pure love . According to the Vedas within the material energies if anybody takes a service from someone , and this applies throughout the whole of the  material universes , or if they  use somebody in any particular way a debt is owed . You can’t get something for nothing. This life is a learning and teaching process . To  reciprocate  properly with something someone has does for our benefit is naturally taught throughout the Vedas. Within the highest realms of spiritual spontaneous exchanges , unmotivated and unconditional love is naturally practised . This being an unalloyed love , and such  principles  of the inner soul rise high above the external material realms . The example of the Vraja Gopies are always given , their giving at any cost was astounding even to Krishna.

    Ultimately , within the material world,  all kinds of debts are building up within our personal Karmic bank balance, which are carried with us and remains with us throughout our  universal journey of fruitive work . For those that don’t properly reciprocate a service rendered , debts build up and need a payback  . That is technically called karma, and the  karmic synchronicities of life play out , that is, the unpredictability of our lives , a payback of long forgotten debts . Like twigs floating in fast flowing river debts and debtors are brought together and then parted , never to meet again , such are our karmic synchronicities.

    The ultimate service rendered to everyone is  by Divinity Himself. As the supersoul or Holy Ghost , He is  in everyone’s heart , He facilitates the individual beings  , bringing them   remberance and forgetfulness and reminding them life after life of what they once desired .  He is also encouraging everyone to acquire the real wisdom and knowledge that is the most beneficial. Knowledge of how to escape the plane of the karmic self-centred world , wherein the  temporary lives of material debtors are forever played out . The greatest service He brings is to clearly indicate what   everyone’s  best interests are and how that can be achieved . Divinity is always rendering  service as the supersoul personally. His pure representatives are also bringing us the best of opportunities. Krishna remains in the hearts of all beings whilst they wonder all over the universe in different situations looking for happiness and patiently waits for everyone to see sense and return back home back to Godhead .

    By His own example, Krishna renders the greatest of all services , so we should also reciprocate with Him and hear from Him how we might learn to render some  services  to Him and bring happiness to Him . The greatest of all service to Krishna is rendered by the Supreme Goddess of Fortune Srimati Radharani and the Vraja Gopies and Manjaris , Her confidants, they are all  residents of Vrndavana.

    This is carefully described by Sukadeva Goswami in the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam and elaborated upon in the commentaries of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas  in their writings .

  • Explain simply or you don’t know

    Sep 15th, 2026

    Cheaters and the cheated.

    The PhD Darwinian academics are like smarta Brahmanas. 

    The smarta Brahmanas think only they have access to truth by birth and educational rights , but Krishna says differently, by  bhakti  to the Supreme Personality of Godhead everything is understood by intelligence given by Krishna , one can be a so called Brahman,  but if they neglect to worship and practically surrender to Krishna they are firing blanks in terms of real knowledge,  as much as those following Darwinian hypothesis or Scientific materialism fire blanks .

    The scientific academics think unless one has PhD. the layman cannot possibly enter into their understandings of physics biology or chemistry,  the reality, they present interpretations of nature conjured up by their set and conditioned consciousness , and they were traind well by others since birth . The atheistic scientific community  can be easily understood by an honest layman . Albert Einstein said if you can’t explain things simply and easily,  then you dont really know the topic .Speculative guessing is a complicated mind game, after all . The speculative conclusions science presents to the world, but in cheating ways and presented as fact based science is becoming  more and more apparent.  The Discovery Institute and the Bhaktivedanta Institute are pointing out clear  objective sciences.  A little knowledge of  cheating subjective science and its methodology brings realisations of the  “smarta scientists” actual lack of any real conclusive knowledge in the matters of the  mind ,consciousness, or matter . The  fact is the more they search ,the more the complexity increases,  such are the workings of intelligent design , the intelligence of Divinity Himself . Can the Sun and a Sun’s photon be compared ? The snippet of knowing is fine, but don’t present the photon like snippet to the overall power and complexity of the Sun , admit to what is apparent,  highly structured intelligent systems,  perfect math , symmetry and intelligent design within everything,  where there is smoke there is fire , where intelligence is seen a person is behind it , God is a person,  but not like you and I , He is the Sun ,we are the photon.

  • The little nap lasting 311 trillion years

    Sep 15th, 2026

    During the “nap “of Mahavisnu lasting 311 trillion of earthly years , for Mahavisnu, trancendentally , one breath of sleep is sufficient for Him to accomplish His purpose ,its called a Mahakalpa.

    During this time, the universal principles of unlimited karmic synchronicities are being played out , as the individual living beings go searching for happiness in a place it cannot really be found , happiness is something far deeper that sensual,  mental or intellectual pursuits .These ill-fated journeys of the living beings are supervised by billions of Lord Bramha’s , one for each universe .The purpose of the universal creation is twofold to fulfil the  illusory material desires of the living beings who each have their free will , but that is subjected to the responsive legislations of determinism as the governance and compliance  of the creation takes effect. The second purpose is to educate the living beings  through direct and indirect ways . Life experiences  are learning processes in themselves of many levels,  including deep within the psychological inner self , carried on through many lives .  There are the instructions of the wise as well as the instructions of established scripts, and importantly, God is within the heart encouraging and giving inspiration. The living beings who follow recommendations given to them by theological manuals and saints fare reasonably well in all these affairs of universal existences ,  those who neglect these benedictions undergo complexities and further entanglements. Everything is laid out and clear to those who are truly inquisitive.The female principal of Sri .works in many ways ,She gives opulences such as wealth , beauty and knowledge,  but another principal of Sri is punishment for the rectification of the living beings .When Sri brings wealth,  beauty and knowledge in material ways , its a temporary show , the beautiful girl becomes old , knowledge is acquired and lost as  brain deteriating occurs , wealth comes and is lost or spent , at death no more wealth,  only reactions,  if you get wealth by cheating methods,  you have playbacks to make .The gifts of Sri can be a stepping stone to the Supreme Sri , Srimati Radharani who gifts the beauty of the soul , the wealth of spiritual knowledge and the wisdom of understanding the Spiritual kingdoms where the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna resides .Srimati Radharani services and benedictions are the topmost benedictions offered to those who are really intelligent and have been blessed with trancendental insights . Sri Guru is the representative of Srimati Radharani and also of Balarama,  its Balarama that guides one to Srimati Radharani, the Supreme Sri , and Srimati Radharani’s only concern is the happiness of Krishna .

  • Don’t try to do the impossible.

    Sep 14th, 2026

    Those gross materialistic persons who have overrun the educational systems of the world , flooding it with their speculations , and fraudulently presenting such subjective contrivance to the untrained and unthinking persons as fact based sciences , are like mad persons who try to convince you that in time you will be able to stop the raging winds , or stop tides flowing. Such persons are desperately trying to overcome the strong forces of nature and telling us we should do the same .They are convinced they will control nature , a nature they know very little about in realistic terms , yet they consistently present so many post dated cheques of what they will achieve in the future , including overcoming death , old age and disease. The onslaught of the material energies can not be halted . The intelligence should be engaged in sciences in objective ways and not subjective. In doing so the honest scientific community will see increasing evidence for design and exactness within biological systems as well as chemical systems, and they are clearly operating under strict physical laws and the observable constants , along with the relatively discovered quantum atomic realms that link to the Vedic responsive universes via the ethereal and subtle plains .Einstein, Bohr, and Schrödinger made great  scientific contributions, and they could see the obvious structures and laws , they were not gross followers of scientific materialism or unthinking Darwinians. The Vedic way is to scientifically understand the confines of matter and philosophically understand its purpose and seek knowledge by the decending process,  a granted insight into personal situations,  and look for solutions and not make ridiculous adjustments to an obviously powerful incomprehensible energy , especially when even a single cell is still not understood by the  scientific community. Doing the impossible repeatedly is a sign of madness . The intelligence should be brought to bare , thus Albert Einstein said..that science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind.

    We should understand the self-evident scientific dualism,  that matter has somehow encapsulated the consciousness,  a consciousness that is a completely different energy that matter .The Vedas as well as world theological cultures encourages one to free the bird from the cage , adjusting to the cage is artificial life for a bird , freedom beyond the cage is always on the birds mind , likewise the consciousness feels itself different than the body .We have allowed scientific materialism and Darwinians to confine ourselves to a cage , and their messages to us are “accept it ” . although the cage of the body , mind, and intelligence lose all its youthful beauty and dwindles and in its diseased condition collapses , and death comes . However, there is no death for consciousness ,  just change . Krishna says, “Take your consciousness to a place where there are no physical laws and impositions.” The sciences of self realisation and the laws of nature are discussed in Bhagavad Gita along with psychological conditionings that either keep us in matter or free us from it .

  • Opulence and Opulences of another kind

    Sep 14th, 2026

    Every spiritual movement utilises the “Sri ” principle in the form of beauty , knowledge, and material opulences within their preaching methods. This is seen worldwide and displayed in various cultures with beautiful buildings ,  beautiful and highly educated followers , as well as the opulences of much wealth associated with spiritual movements.  Every opulence is a benediction from Divinity and His consort the Supreme Goddess of fortune , who manifests Herself in different forms , as written on by Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha.

    However ,  to gain the real  wealth of spiritual  trancendental wisdom , one requires benedictions beyond the external opulences . External opulences bring benedictions of many  kinds but are equally liable to bring many entanglements . The entanglements of false pride and false prestige, for instance. The person lacking opulences should humbly recognise the opulences of others , but whether one has or does not have material opulences , the supreme opulences that are benedicted by Srimati Radharani have been made  especially available , via Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu in current times. One should use everything in spiritual life and reject little . Centre everything correctly under the directions of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas within the param para . Srila Sanatana Gosvami kept a wish fulfilling touchstone in the garbage bin , and the Goswami’s voluntarily accepted external poverty , but what astounding knowledge and trancendental riches along with  every opulence did they have in their hearts ? All opulences are excellent when accepted in humility and used in the direct services God , and for the pure devotee such opulences are awaiting to serve them .

    Srimad Bhagavatam 1.8.26

    janmaiśvarya-śruta-śrībhir
    edhamāna-madaḥ pumān
    naivārhaty abhidhātuṁ vai
    tvām akiñcana-gocaram

    Translation

    My Lord, Your Lordship can easily be approached, but only by those who are materially exhausted. One who is on the path of [material] progress, trying to improve himself with respectable parentage, great opulence, high education and bodily beauty, cannot approach You with sincere feeling.

    This verse brings focus to how spiritual consciousness can develop in full ..

  • In association

    Sep 14th, 2026

    It behoves everyone of us to associate with others , and thus the principles and benefits of association are well known. One should intelligently choose good association and wise council, and understand who is bringing real friendship. The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas and the Vedas as a whole implicitly instruct us to take real advantage of the human form of life and directly associate with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Supreme male and importantly the Supreme Goddess of fortune, the supreme female .Both the male and female principles are to be essentially understood , the Visaya and Ashraya principles are revealed within the Vedas .The female principles bring us into the direct association of the one Supreme Visaya . The Supreme Personality of Godhead, the autocratic enjoyer who invites us all to associate with Him .

    In yoga practices ,  both within karma yoga,  jnana yoga , astanga yoga and Bhakti yoga the Supreme Goddess of fortune is communicated with in one of Her many forms , but within Bhakti yoga She is realised  with the full manifestion of all her opulences as Srimati Radharani in Her abode , where the simple opulences of Vrndavana far surpass all the wealth and opulences within in the best of heavenly kingdoms.

    Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami

    “Krishna gives assurance in the Bhagavad-gita that if one is very serious to perfect his Krishna Consciousness , then automatically , out of His Causeless Mercy , Lord Krishna gives such sincere soul the intelligence Krishna and His bona fide representatives are giving this knowledge freely to everyone. “

  • Absolute truth beyond material considerations and dualities .

    Sep 13th, 2026

    Some atheistic people spend their whole time hating on God . Indeed, they spent more time thinking of God than some theists . According to Narada Muni’s words in the 7th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam , because God is unaffected by praise or enmity , the atheistic becomes purified , even by their thinking of God in unfavorable ways. God is equal to all , but if someone wants God as a friend then God becomes a friend , if one wants God as an enemy , then God will become the best enemy .

    How can this be , and what are the repercussions of this . There are many other examples in the Srimad Bhagavatam of various persons who have emotional thoughts towards Divinity . Its recorded emotional exchanges such as  lust ,anger , and envy ,  when directed towards Krishna , purify a persons consciousness . God is absolute , He lives in an absolute realm beyond the dualities of this world. The Sun is neutral and has the potency to purify any foul substance.

    Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu recently appeared and has taught that the chanting of the names of God immediately purifies any heart no matter what has gone before. The souls  have been caught up in millions of lives of pain and struggle . Pain and struggle come to us as a result of us giving pains and causing others to struggle and not just in this life , but billions .  Nevertheless , Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is excusing us our due karmic reactions ,  and is immediately bringing us a most magnanimous display of mercy above justice, allowing us to enter the highest realms of the spiritual kingdoms. The names of God are trancendental and are as pure as God . God is fully manifested in His names. Krishna, along with His full potency, can be realised along with all His associates by associating with His names .The forms of God are not different from His names that He has personally accepted because His devotees have effectionally given them to Him  . Many  particular benedictions are awarded to anyone who chants God’s names , even without any previous qualifications . Immediately one can feel His presence,  the Maha mantra is especially powerful , Sri Sri Radha Krishna, and the spiritual realms are within this mantra .The female principal is important, and She brings many benedictions Herself including wealth,  beauty, and knowledge , the real benedictions are in Her form as Srimati Radharani , She allows us entrance and reveals  knowledge of Goloka Vrndavana . In Her aspect of Durga Devi She brings us to our senses by inflicting the rod of chastisement,  as any good mother should .

    Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His sankirtana movement is  bringing the greatest benedictions for all of humanity, and even the creatures are benedicted .These benedictions are beyond the comprehension of living beings. Mahāprabhu  gives a taste and understanding of the highest planes of the spiritual realms and the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas are distributing this knowledge,  by their association one can bring the mercy of Mahāprabhu on one’s head .

  • Sri Guru

    Sep 13th, 2026

     I can say for myself although being in association of devotees for 10 years or so  and rendering services of all kinds , first as a  Nama Hatta member , then  joining and rendering service’s within temples and of course reading Prabhupadas books since 1979 .., it was not until I  personally heard from Srila Gour Govinda Swami in 1988 , and had the good fortune of his personal association ..that the messages of Prabhupada and the teachings of our param para acaryas began to penetrant . His simple messaging carried full trancendental potency . He would say . “give all pleasure to Krishna ,”or the  “stupid mind needs strict discipline , inflicted by
    Sadhu Guru vaisnava , or ” are you relishing the topic ” There are countless other trancendental potent snippets one could share  of his way of explaining tattva and how to properly understand it by personal dedication and following correctly . Srila Gour Govinda Swami’s rasika descriptions of Caitanya Lila and Krishna Lila , which he relishes and shares , are very unique,  and they are  trancendentally and eternally benefiting those that hear with faith and connections.  His deep insights to every aspect of the Gaudia Vaisnava tattva were astounding , in the late 80s and 90s, they were essential to ISKCON. and he would literally sing them out ..His dedication to Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON,  are shown in his words ” tolerate and cooperate”  , which he showed the perfect example of , even when GBC made wrong decisions on aspects of management or tattva or  stopped his world preaching tours . His  trancendental pure sounds , along with his bhajans, have the potency to permanently and eternally enter the heart . Sri Guru has the potency to make the service of Radha Krishna ones only goal , and that’s real Diksa or Sisksa.  Srila Sridhar Swami says  , Srila Prabhupada’s Godbrother,
    When good fortune arises , it never sets ,  those that have any relationship with Srila Gour Govinda Swami are forever and increasingly benefited.

    Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja…Once heard  Srila Gour kisore das babaji Maharaja..chant some slokas glorifying Vrsabhanu Nandini, Sri Radhe
    So , although the Babaji was “so called illiterate” …Srila Bhaktisiddanta came to understand of his Gurudeva’s  highest learning of bhakti rasa and tattva . That of  Radha dasyam Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja realised it was in the heart of Srila Gour Kisore Babajis . Similarly, one can hear Srila Gour Govinda Swami at many times glorify Srimati Radharani and explain how Krishna Himself is mad after Her beauty and qualities and would always be seeking Her association.Srila Gour Govinda Swami relates how Radharani is the abode of love and Krishna the object of love , and how Radharani is in one sense the Guru of Krishna in their mellows of loving exchanges.  Srila Gour Govinda Swami fully explains Guru tattva and the purposes and appearances of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityananda prabhu and all the trancendental mysteries surrounding Them . Srila Govinda Swami worked hard and tirelessly in establishing the temple in Bhubaneswar ,which Prabhupada had instructed him to do , amongst other services. Srila Gour Govinda Swami had uncompromising faith in ISKCON and the mission of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, his beloved Guru Maharaja .

  • Surrender without reservations to the representative of truth

    Sep 13th, 2026

    When Arjuna was on the battlefield of Kuruksetra , a war that was fought on many fronts , Sadaputa prabhu , one of the original members of the Bhaktivedanta institute , mentioned there were millions of soldiers within a limited area , so it appeared to be a kind of universal war involving many demigods and demons from other regions . Anyhow , the beginnings of the Bhagavad Gita tell how Arjuna initially was not prepared to fight. The early parts of the Bhagavad Gita explore his arguments , so one can carefully read of why he did not want to fight and for  seemingly good reasons , and importantly one can read how Krishna instructed Arjuna on all of his concerns.

    Arjuna became bewildered because he had to, and rightly so , consider every type of moral and ethical behaviours as well as Vedic Sattvic Dharma , as a good warrior does .  A good soldier is not a cold, ruthless killer . Certainly, soldiers are absolutely forbidden to kill women and children or any citizens , which is condemned by universal laws and reactions will be had long into the futures. Legitimate warfare is a tricky business to contemplate and enact, and many considerations should be made . Arjuna turned to Krishna , the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and submitted himself to Him because Arjuna was confused. He asked Krishna what he should do in the circumstances and what would be the right course of action for him  . Arjuna , importantly, and  obviously had initial faith that Krishna would give him good advice . Authorities must have a  proven source of knowledge. The sentiments and mental energies of an individual are no authority.

    At the point where Arjuna turned to Krishna and submitted himself in honesty and with humility, Krishna took up the position as Arjuna’s spiritual Guru . He thus  chastised Arjuna calling him Mudha , a fool , for thinking he was speaking learned words in his giving the reasons why he had not been prepared to fight . Krishna began to  point out Arjuna’s lack of real knowledge both materially , in his Dharmic considerations , and spiritually  in terms of what the consciousness is , ie an eternal energy completely seperate from matter in all its forms . Krishna related to Arjuna what  the ultimate duty is for mankind and also what the ultimate morality was . Krishna was taking both spiritual and material duties into consideration. Spiritual consciousness and its balanced  development are always a priority for everyone , and , of course, that is what  Krishna teaches within the Bhagavad Gita . Arjuna was only initially calculating things that were to satisfy his own limited interests. The Bhagavad Gita is an essential read for all persons. It is the practical life manual and suits all people in all walks of life. Nothing is absent. Everyone is differently situated materially and spiritually,  but the Bhagavad Gita situates everyone.

    The important point here is that Arjuna initially turns to Krishna with faith and is prepared to hear from Krishna .Everyone has faith in something,  but Krishna has been confirmed throughout universal history in all the Vedas as the original cause of all cause of both the material and spiritual dimensions , and essentially He has been accepted by the greatest of authorities . We must know the authentic teachers and reject those who speculate or accept others who speculate as their teachers .

    After hearing from Krishna, Arjuna’s doubts were cleared , and all his misconceptions vanished . Bhagavad Gita makes everything  clear to everyone. Arjuna intelligently surrendered WITHOUT  RESERVATIONS , and he spoke as follows

    Arjuna said: You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ultimate abode, the purest, the Absolute Truth. You are the eternal, transcendental, original person, the unborn, the greatest. All the great sages such as Nārada, Asita, Devala and Vyāsa confirm this truth about You, and now You Yourself are declaring it to me.

    This full surrender without reservations is required when it comes to  taking Sri Guru , who is the true representative of Krishna’s, and who comes in many forms , both as Diksa and Siksa gurus . Sadhu Sastra and Guru are the three balanced principles., one checks the other .Whether Diksa or Sisksa , and in particular the highest sense of Siksa , of the higher Madhyama or Uttama , should not be doubted , but what he says the whole chain of param para Gurus must say . He can be questioned, but we must be prepared to accept his answers , as Arjuna accepted Krishna’s answers.

    It might take time to understand Sri Guru, but we must be patient , and Krishna will help us . A bone fide Guru as Krishna was to Arjuna , explains everything logically with reference to authority , such a Uttama Guru or high Madhyama can be and should be surrendered to without reservation.
