Navratri
A spiritual discourse on the supreme importance of guru devotion during Navaratri.
"The highest worship and most sattvic and safe practice is guru bhakti."
"Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Gurudevo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma... Therefore, my adoration to the Holy Lotus Feet of the Gurudeva."
Swami Madhvarānjī delivers an evening satsang, explaining why devotion to the guru is the foundational and safest spiritual path. He describes the guru tattva (principle) as encompassing and surpassing all other divine energies, warns against seeking powers or material gains, and emphasizes that pure devotion and grace are the roots of liberation. The talk includes teachings on mantra repetition, meditation, and concludes with a blessing.
