Knowledge itself (jnana) may be acquired, but sastra in and of itself is a representation of the divine descent in a passive form; different conceptions will be extracted from it according to one's spiritual merit and purity. Vijnana (realized knowledge) is therefore infinitely more valuable, for it is the spiritual reality seen with the eye of divine service, reflected in the pure heart of the practitioner. The active principle of spiritual realization is hearing from the tatva darsi-the saint who is continuously in connection with the spiritual reality by virtue of his substantial faith and realization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The essence of initiation into our Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya is the infusion of divya-jnana, the imparting of transcendental knowledge by the guru. The current predominant Vaisnava worldview is that \"We are simply servants of Sri guru, we do not have our own opinion.\" Certainly we do not wish to generate opinions filtered by our own idiosyncrasies and impure desires. But realizations we must have, for realizations are the expression of the degree to which we have actually embraced the Absolute Truth. They are the substantiation of our divine connection, of our spiritual standing or adhikari. If we do not have realizations, then we have not embraced the spiritual reality according to the Lord's intentions; we have failed in our spiritual quest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The present socio-religious climate amongst Gaudiya Vaisnavas is somewhat lacking in spiritual dimension, due to the rise of relative considerations may well hinder the natural development of sraddha (faith) in the Vaisnavas's hearts. If the healthy progression of sraddha is hindered, there is no question of substantial spiritual development, for sraddha is an essential element in our attempt to join the confidential serving group.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the Caitanya-caritamrta it is related that the associates of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu responded to Mahaprabhu's attempt to conceal His divinity with the statement, \"It is as if the sun upon rising, is attempting to conceal itself.\" Similarly, essential divine revelations stand self-illumined by their own obvious merit, but can only be accessed properly through faith. We would like to humbly submit that one may judge the adhikari (spiritual standing) of Vaisnavas according to their capacity to capture and reveal the essential spiritual truths. In this spirit, we present Sri Gayatri Mantrartha Dipika, for we feel that it is an irrefutable expression of this principle of divine revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003eC O N T E N T S\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd width=\"15%\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"75%\"\u003e Preface\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"10%\"\u003e xi\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Introduction\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e xv\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e Chapter One\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Aumkara: Aksaranam Vtkrstatangati\u003cbr\u003e Om: The Supreme Combination of Letters\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eby His Holiness Swami Bhakit Gaurava Narasingha Maharaja\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e I\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e Chapter Two\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Sri Gayatri Nigudhartha\u003cbr\u003e The Hidden Truth of Sri Brahma Gayatri\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eby Paramahamsa Vaisnava Thakura Srila \u003ca href=\"\/it\/article\/bhakti_sutras\"\u003eBhakti\u003c\/a\u003e Raksaka Sridhara Deva Goswami Maharaja\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 19\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e Chapter Three\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Sri Gayatri Nigudhartha Sampada\u003cbr\u003e The Wealth and Glory of Sri Gayatri Nigudhartha\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eby Paramahamsa Vaisnava Thakura Srila Bhakti Promode Puri Goswami Maharaja \u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 37\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e Chapter Four\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Sri Akhanda Guru Tattva\u003cbr\u003e The Principle of Guru in Sri Guru Gayatri\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eby His Holiness Bhakti Nandan Swami Maharaja\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 51\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e Chapter Five\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Sri Gaura Gayatri Vijaya\u003cbr\u003e Establishing the Eternality of Sri Gaura Gayatri\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e by His Holiness Swami Bhakti Gaurava Narasingha Maharaja\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 81\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e Chapter Six\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Sri Gopala Mantra Paryalocana\u003cbr\u003e A Deliberation on Sri Gopala Mantra\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e by His Holiness Swami Bhaktivedanta Tripurari Maharaja\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e 111\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e Chapter Seven\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Sri Prakasini Vrtti\u003cbr\u003e Illustrations on Sri Gopala Mantra and Sri Kama Gayatri\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e by Paramahamsa Vaisnava Thakura \u0026amp;
