Lectures by Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja given in Murwillumbah, Australia, on December 3 and 4, 2002 and Hilo, Hawaii, on January 11 and 13, 2003.

This is a series of seven discourses on guru-tattva, in which Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja discusses the importance of accepting a bona fide guru as more dear than life itself and the absolute necessity of receiving initiation from such a guru. These discourses were based on verse 11.2.37 from Srimad-Bhagavatam. “Therefore an intelligent person should engage unflinchingly in the unalloyed devotional service of the Lord, under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master, whom he should accept as his worshipful deity and as his very life and soul.”

CONTENTS: Preface, More Intimate Than Our Soul, Today Is Guru Day, What If a Guru Is Not Pure?, Even Kṛṣna Accepted a Guru, Sri Guru – Heavier Than God
