Guru is eternal
A spiritual discourse on the eternal Guru principle, divine cycles, and spiritual lineage.
"Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva will change, but the Guru will remain."
"One should not sit on that chair... I am taking care of this Gāḍī (seat)."
The lecturer delivers an evening talk, exploring the timeless nature of the Guru compared to the cyclical roles of the Hindu trinity. He discusses the concept of the Guru's seat (Gāḍī) in a lineage, emphasizing humility and service, and shares personal reflections on his teachers, including Gurujī and Shanti. The talk weaves together cosmology, caste as spiritual heritage, and the importance of spiritual practice.
