This lecture is the first of a series of two presented in the Radical Personalism Retreat, organized in Michigan during July 28-30th.

“With things that are highlighted or even absolutized, there is the potential danger of misrepresentation, inaccurate expectations, and over-idealization. In the guru-disciple relationship these dangers are posed not only by the student but sometimes even by the teachers themselves. Since a crucial aspect of Radical Personalism is addressing what’s not being addressed but needs to be, in this [class] we will unearth some important but often unexplored issues—and tissues—involved in this unique relationship. Our hope is that as Gaudiyas we can address, conceive, and embrace this divine principle in the healthiest and most committed way. “ Quote from:
