Some devotees just portray BSST as a simha guru who was very strict and aggressive. And here we see that he is very balanced and loved his disciples more than millions of mothers and fathers.

I think it is very helpful to hear a number of disciple's views, some of which may challenge our own, perhaps deepening our understanding. From different disciples we gather various moods which when combined present us with a complex view of a guru. This selection is so moving, and from this pure account, it reminded me how difficult it may be for disciples to completely understand or fathom their guru, although they may strongly argue their thoughts. Although I may have had a particular lens to view my guru, or param-guru, when I hear another view, I can either dispute it, or realize my vision is only a tiny perspective. The idea of harmonizing differences of great souls has greatly helped broaden my view of Krishna conscious and bhakti.

The love of Puri Maharaja for his guru is palpable and endearing. It draws me to the author more than to his own object of love. Such a beautiful article!
