Trust your Gurudev
A spiritual discourse on the influence of the moon and the supreme protection of the Guru.
"The moon has one of the strongest influences on our planet. Not only for the humans, but the trees, the animals, even the ocean."
"The highest is the guru tattva... the greatest power, the protection, is that what we call the bulletproof jacket. And that bulletproof jacket is Guru Kṛpā, protection."
The speaker delivers an evening satsang, beginning with the astrological and physical influence of the moon, particularly around Guru Pūrṇimā. Using analogies from air travel and oceanography, he transitions to the core theme: that the grace and protection of a true Guru surpass all planetary influences and astrological fears. He shares stories and teachings emphasizing that genuine spiritual progress requires personal effort and devotion, not reliance on external rituals or superstitions, and concludes with a prayer.
