You have told us in many conversations how Guru Nithya became your guru. But hearing it in your own words was an emotional experience.
I sometimes wonder what the place of spiritual gurus is in today’s environment. There are many types of spiritual gurus today. There are those who perform magic on one side. There are those who act as big corporations, on the other hand. There are those who build big temples. Some also act as psychological counselors. This video demonstrated the role of a true teacher.
In today’s world, we either have traditional religion. Or we have simple contemporary philosophy that does not provide holistic solutions to today’s problems. Traditional religion does not communicate with the modern era. It does not have the intellectual tools for it. We need modern gurus today to combine traditional religious wisdom with today’s intellectual world and give it to us.
From what you say about Nitya Chaitanya Yathi, he was a poet, an artist, a philosopher, and also a mystic. We need this combination today. Thank you for introducing him. Salute to you for being his voice today.
