Now a days many people ask what is the need of Guru. There is God and there is me.. I can directly relate with him. Recently one movie, OMG showed that for knowing God, one does not need a middle man. In the movie, Krishna gives the distressed person Gita and tells him that he will find solutions to all his problems by reading Gita.

When I contemplate on it, I think surely Gita has solutions to all the problems, but people forget  that Gita was revealed by Lord Krishna to Arjuna, not to everyone on the battlefield. In that way it is a confidential knowledge. Still, we fallen souls have the access to this great knowledge only because of the mercy of Srila Vyasadeva. Had he not compiled, we would have never known Gita, would have never known the secret of life.

So whatever we are able to know about Krishna, whatever little progress we have in our devotional life, it is only because of the mercy of Guru Maharaj. Only because of the relentless efforts of Srila Prabhupad, a demon like me could take up to Krishna Consciousness. What would have become of me, if there was no causeless mercy of Guru Maharaj? Cant even imagine...
