One who imparts precise knowledge on appropriate spiritual practice for acquiring peace of mind and Anand (Bliss) and how to perform it is none other than the Guru.

Through this Holy text, the disciple will understand the true nature of the Guru through various aspects such as the Guru's form exhibiting paternal love for the devotee, His compassionate nature, various mediums of bestowing grace on the disciple etc. This will lead to strengthening of devotion in the disciple unto the Guru and he will be able to obtain maximum benefit from the existence of the Guru.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e The disciple is convinced of the Guru's importance; because, he has experienced the Guru's spiritual power.

In this context, we have performed various experiments by using ‘PIP’ scientific technology on the photographs of our Guru H.H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj (Baba).
