Bona Fide Spiritual Master - an essential subject
It is only by the mercy of a bona-fide spiritual master one can make advancement in his practice of Krishna consciousness.The spiritual master is the link or passage for all the fallen conditioned souls to come to the platform of pure devotional service. By pleasing the spiritual master the Lord becomes pleased with us and showers His mercy upon us. It is therefore the duty of the disciple to take shelter of the bona fide spiritual master and render service to him, only then can he impact knowledge onto that disciple.
