Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a deep insight into the quality of a true Guru. It is such a beautiful and deep book on Sri Guru. An important book for all followers of the Bhakti tradition. The imperfect would not be so if it was not in need of help, and such guidance must come beyond itself. The perfect is not perfect if He cannot assert Himself or help the imperfect ones, and that must be of His own sweet will. So the guidance to spiritual perfection and to perfect love is by definition a function of the Perfect Being, the sweet Absolute Truth Sri Krishna. And Krishna's divine agent through whom this function manifests is Sri Guru, the spiritual guide. In the talks therein, the author of the Sri Nityananda Vamsa - the line of Gurus descending directly from Lord Nityananda - gives beautifully compelling explanations of Guru tattva, the spiritual principle of Sri Guru. Guru is not a person, Guru is a tattva, the embodiment of spiritual truth who links us to transcendental reality and guides us back home to the spiritual realm of pure love. Our prayer is that the faithful readers will find divine inspiration for their spiritual practice within the pages of this book.
