Course Overview
*Day 1: Foundations of Sri Guru-Tattva*
The course begins by exploring the foundational principles of Guru-Tattva, emphasizing the essential role of the Guru in revealing spiritual truths. Participants will learn why following a bona-fide Guru is vital for spiritual progress and how material perception limits our understanding, making *guru-surrender* necessary.
* *Scriptural Foundations: A study of **Bhagavad-gītā 4.34* and the *Mundaka Upaniṣad* highlights the importance of seeking knowledge from a realized Guru.
*Day 2: Recognizing a Bona-Fide Guru*
On Day 2, participants will examine the *qualities of a Sad-Guru*—a self-realized, scripture-versed, detached spiritual master. The session also covers the different levels of devotees (kanistha, madhyama, uttama) and teaches how to discern the qualifications of a bona-fide Guru.
* *The Dangers of Unqualified Gurus*: Identifying unqualified or ritvik systems and understanding the importance of scriptural discernment.
*Day 3: Applying Guru-Tattva in Life*
The final day focuses on integrating Guru-Tattva into daily practice. Participants will learn the true meaning of *Dikṣā* (initiation) and how to serve the Guru with *faith, humility, and devotion. Practical guidelines for regular service and devotion are also shared, including **guru-pūjā* and chanting.
* *Group Reflection & Commitments*: Participants will share resolutions for choosing, approaching, and serving a genuine Guru.
*Learning Outcomes*

1. Understand the scriptural basis for *Guru-Tattva* and the significance of the Guru-disciple relationship.
2. Identify the essential qualities of a bona-fide Guru and how to discern unqualified spiritual guides.
3. Cultivate proper attitudes of *humility, **surrender, and service through **Guru-Bhakti Yoga*.
4. Apply Guru-Tattva in daily life, committing to a life of devotional service under the guidance of a true spiritual master.
This course is essential for those seeking to walk the path of devotion and make the guidance of a *real Guru* the foundation of their spiritual journey.
