Our relationship with the Guru
The eternal spiritual lineage flows from the Satya Yuga to the present. The guru paramparā is an unbroken succession from one guru to the next. This lineage originates from Śiva and the Satya Yuga, the age of truth where all beings lived in harmony. From that age comes Ālakpurījī, a primordial presence connected to the Himalayan rivers. The lineage continues through figures like Devpurījī and Mahāprabhujī to Gurudev Svāmī Madhavānandjī. Disciples are connected to this lineage, receiving its energy into the soul. The current duty is to care for all disciples and be faithful to the guru. In this Kali Yuga, truth is often absent, causing suffering. All humans ultimately come from the same divine source, regardless of changing external forms or bloodlines. Spiritual practice focuses on the heart, where a divine light resides, connected to the energy of the navel. Life is like a cherry tree; some blossoms bear fruit while others fall, all according to divine will. The aim is to achieve purity through the five elements and unite with the highest cosmic reality.
"Satya means the truth only. Everything is the truth, in the whole earth, the whole ocean, in all, everything that is there."
"Paramparā means one after another. So when that will sit, given here to sit, it’s not that you come and sit down."
