The term 'Guru, Sadhu & Sastra' has come from Narottama das Thakura

[Guest guest]

Sri Prema-bhakti-candrika, Text 10

 

*sadhu-sastra-guru-bakya cittete kariya aikya

satata bhasiba prema-majhe

karmi jnani bhakti-hina ihare karibe bhina

narottama ei tattwa gaje

 

 

Making the words of the guru, sadhus, and sastras one with my heart, I

constantly float and swim in the ocean of pure love. I am different from the

karmis and jnanis, who have no devotion for Krsna. Narottama speaks the

truth.

 

(Translation by H.G. Kusakratha Prabhu)
