The Value of the Guru
A guru can illuminate the highest potential hidden within a human being and guide them along the path to reveal the divinity within. This transformation is only possible under the guidance of a true spiritual master like Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
We’ve had many gurus in our lives, starting with our parents. A second rebirth happens when we choose to follow a spiritual master. A true guru is a guide who has an understanding of our entire being, our purpose, and what needs to be done in order to achieve our ultimate goal of life. He is the one who holds our hand and works entirely for our upliftment to be reunited with God.
'My dharma is to polish you, and your dharma is to shine.'
— Paramahamsa Vishwananda
A new version of the Guru Gita, featuring additional verses, will be commented on this time.
