Rama and Shiva (from Ramayana)
A discourse on the essential role of the Guru in divine devotion.
"Lord Viṣṇu does not accept the love of his devotees, even in their dreams, if they have no love for their Guru."
"Those who have love for Śrī Devpurījī, it is a sign of the love and bhakti for Mahāprabhujī. And those who have love for Mahāprabhujī, it is a sign of the love for Gurujī."
The speaker explains that divine love and understanding of deities like Vishnu and Shiva are intrinsically linked to, and must flow through, love for one's Guru. He outlines a spiritual lineage, asserting that devotion to each Guru is a manifestation of devotion to the preceding one, ultimately connecting all love between disciples back to the Guru.
