The Worship of Sri Guru

The followers of Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada reflect daily on the prayers of Narottam Das Thakur during guru-pūjā. Now a beautiful commentary brings into focus the volumes of meaning invested in each word of these essential verses.

Quote from the book:

     "The lotus flower lives in the water, but it is not affected. It remains untouched. Similarly, although Sri Guru comes here to this material world, he remains untouched. He is never affected by the three modes of material nature. Therefore the feet of Sri Guru are compared to a lotus. The bumblebee that comes to the lotus that is in the water and takes shelter inside that lotus is also untouched by the water. Similarly, the fortunate soul who has taken shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Guru will never be afraid of this material world. Just as the lotus gives shelter to the bumblebee and protects him from being touched by the water, so the disciple who takes shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Guru will not be affected by the material nature. This is the lotus feet of Sri Guru."
