The guru is the transparent via medium. Our devotion never stops at guru. He is simply taking our worship and giving it all to the lotus feet of Shyama Sundar and Sri Radharani through disciplic succession. So, Gopal Bhatt Goswami brought Srinivas Acharya and said, “Radha Raman, he is yours. Unconditionally he is yours. And I will take care of him. I will train him”. So, they set an auspicious date and the initiation took place and then Gopal Bhatt Goswami told Srinivas Acharya that “Under my order, you should study all of the literatures of Rupa and Sanatan from Jiva Goswami.” Such is the love amongst vaishnavas. No competitive spirit of this is mine and that is yours, but everything was Krishna’s, everything was Mahaprabhu’s. And we are all working together for the satisfaction of Mahaprabhu.
