Guru-tattva is Very Deep and Very Complex (04/29/01) J____Dāsa, Hare Kṛṣṇa. I have received your email below. The question you ask about guru-tattva cannot easily be answered in one email.

Mirābāī Propaganda (04/27/01) P____ Dāsa, Hare Kṛṣṇa. G___ Mahārāja forwarded your email to me. Let me make a few brief comments below.

Higher Truth Rarely Reveals itself to the Masses. (04/27/01) G____ Mahārāja, Hare Kṛṣṇa. D_____ will hang around that group for a few years, until the party atmosphere gets old, and then he will retire to the usual life of sense-enjoyment.

My Heart is Only Disturbed (04/22/01) Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Do Not Neglect Deep Study and Practice (04/18/01) A______ Dāsa, Hare Kṛṣṇa. Guru Mahārāja, I’m reading Follow The Angels now, and I have trouble understanding a particular concept. Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja said something along the lines of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas keeping mādhurya-rasa high above our heads, and accepting a role closer to that of a servant, such as Prahlāda Mahārāja.
