About the Book

Balavn daro yasya na syd guru-pdmbuje / rutair apy asya sac chstraih krsne bhaktir na jyate || Devotion to Krsna does not arise by hearing authorized scripture for the person who does not have strong reverence for the lotus feet of guru.

tasmd guru prapadyeta jijsu reya uttamam | bde pare ca ninta brahmany upaamrayam ||

Therefore, one who is inquisitive about the highest truth should surrender to a guru who is skilful in the scriptures and fixed in realization, while free of anger and greed.

cryam m vijnyn nvanmanyeta karhicit | na martya-buddhysyeta sarva-deva-mayo guruh ||

One should know the crya as myself and never disrespect him in any way. One should not envy him, thinking him an ordinary man, for he is the representative of all the devats.

What more can be said? There is no tattva superior to that of guru.

The secondary expansion of His mission came through Srinivas Acrya, Narottam dsa Thakur and Symnanda prabhu, who were particularly responsible for preaching the message of Sri Caitanya Mahprabhu throughout India. They formed the great spiritual sankirtan party. Srinivas Acrya was in the forefront of the Vaisnava movement and was responsible for the propagation of Krsna Bhakti marg across the plains of India,
