Our condition is pathetic • God sends Guru to help us • He shows God ! But why do I need a guru? Can’t I do it myself ? Even God when comes down, takes up Guru! Why? Our Scriptures are password protected ! Only guru has the key !

Only a real Guru (Pure Devotee) Can Give Bhakti ! • Even gods cannot give it! • They are in fact hankering for! • Surrendering to a qualified guru • is the first step!
