When a guru accepts somebody as a shishya he takes complete responsibility of his or her. Then the shishya is monitored by the Guru not daily, not hourly, but every moment… the Guru literally carries the shishya on this path. As no two fingerprints are the same, as no two genetic codes are the same, so are no two beings the same. Understanding and realising this fact the rishis of the Vedic era propagated the Guru-shishiya-parampara, or the one-to-one relationship of the shishya with the Guru. And this is what is followed at Dhyan Foundation, under the guiding light of the Guru, Yogi Ashwini.
In the Rudryamala it is said, ‘The fool who commences japa and tapas by reading books instead of receiving instructions from the Guru acquires nothing but sin; no one can save him. The Guru alone can, in a single moment, destroy the mass of his sins….’
" In Yogini Tantra it is said, “It is because the Supreme Guru appears in the body of the human Guru that shastras relate the greatness of the latter”. If it were only the physical body of a Guru that is taken into account as “Guru”, the formula and the aim of sadhana for every Guru would differ according to the appearance of the individual Guru. For this reason shastras clearly state that for one who thinks of the Guru as mere man and identifies him with his physical attributes can never be liberated. Guru mahima is anant, akhand, it is not possible to sum even a fraction of it in limited time and space.

The path of yoga or any other sadhna cannot be traversed without a Guru. It should also be understood that the Guru is not a physical being or a physical form but the embodiment of the ultimate Guru who assumes a human form to guide us through the journey of yoga."
