“So today, on VENUSfrequency YOGA edition,
we turn our attention to the guru —
the luminous principle of guidance,
the eternal flame passed from heart to heart,
and also, to the playful human expression of it,
as I welcome into the studio a guest,
who might just listen, who might read something to us,
who might quote some of his favorite wisdom teachings.

He calls himself the wandering guru.
And so, to ground this title in the fragrance of wisdom traditions,
let us listen across lineages…
let us listen across lineages…
Paramahansa Yogananda, the poet of divine friendship,
reminded us that obedience to a true guru is not bondage,
but a freedom that flowers when love and trust
are anchored in Spirit.
The guru, he said, is the ever-present whisperer of guidance,
the pilot through our inner skies,
a servant of God carrying the devotee toward liberation.

Srila Prabhupada, steadfast in his devotion to Krishna,
spoke of the guru as nothing less
than a faithful servant of the Divine.
He warned us — a guru who claims to be God
is no guru at all.
The true teacher is transparent,
a vessel of scripture,
an agent of grace.

Between these voices — the tender and the firm,
the mystical and the disciplined —
we find a single thread:
the guru is not a personality to be worshiped,
but a principle,
a mirror,
a living current of remembrance.”

And as always, the music will guide us —
from the chanting of sages to devotional bhajans,
from mantras echoing across centuries
to contemporary songs that carry the same heartbeat.

Because here, our practice is to honor all paths that awaken us,
all voices that point toward love,
and to recognize the guru both in the outer guide
and in the inner flame of our own being.
