In this Guru Purnima special, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri speaks on the essential role of a true Guru in spiritual evolution. He states, “If you want to make substantial progress on the spiritual path… you absolutely do need a Guru to pull you out of the darkness.” Through personal reflections and vivid analogies, he illuminates why service (Seva), meditation, and satsang form the three indispensable pillars of spiritual life.

The Guru, he says, “is a giver of boons,” but only for those who approach with sincerity and a desire for purity. Yogivah Giri also explores how desires, when recognized and rightly directed, can lead to liberation rather than bondage. This intimate discourse is an offering of wisdom and devotion—honoring the transformative light of the Guru.
