“By the grace of God, one meets a Guru and by the grace of the Guru, one attains God.” Jagadguru Shri Kripalu

Radha Govind Geet is an encyclopedia of divine knowledge. Its 11,111 devotional couplets, published in Hindi in two volumes, overflow with the essence of the philosophy of the Vedas, Shastras, Puranas and other scriptures, revealed in a very simple, lucid form. This holy scripture comprises nineteen chapters, each containing profound knowledge necessary for any aspirant to traverse his or her spiritual journey.

The subject of this publication is the sixth chapter that elucidates the nature, characteristics, and importance of a genuine Saint or Guru, a God-realised soul otherwise known as a mahapurusha. The inseparable relationship between a mahapurusha and God is revealed and explained. The unique role a mahapurusha plays in the life of a spiritual aspirant and the nature of their relationship is demystified. Through scriptural references, Shri Maharaj Ji stresses the indispensability of faith, surrender, and selfless service to a mahapurusha if one genuinely desires to attain God. Myths surrounding related subjects such as guru dakshina and initiation are also dispelled, and the truth is revealed.

The 381 couplets conclude by disclosing the common traits of imposters, who, in the name of spirituality, don the garb of holy men and misguide the innocent public for their own self-gratification. In this age where this despicable practice is widespread, the wisdom contained in these verses is not only a great blessing, but an essential safeguard for all seekers of a genuine spiritual master.
