Verifiable Symptoms of an Advanced Vaisnava

Learn the verifiable symptoms of spiritual advancement as taught in the bonafide scriptures.

“Spiritual masters do not become perfect souls by the dint of their serving as initiating gurus. Neither do they become perfect simply because they are supported by zealous neophyte disciples. The only indication of a devotee’s degree of advancement is the presence of the discernible qualities that have systematically been described in scripture. Therefore one should evaluate Vaisnavas in general and spiritual masters in particular by the presence or absence of these qualities.” (SRS: Suddha-bhakti-cintamani p. 212)
