How important is the Guru Mantra? | Sri M | Evening satsang | Guru Purnima 2016

On the evening of Guru Purnima in 2016, Sri M talks on the necessity of reciting the Guru mantra, which is devoted to Sri Guru Babaji, before beginning Kriya Yoga practice. However, he also emphasises that it is just as important even if one does not practice Kriya Yoga. He goes on to say that Kriya is essential to advancing along one's path, regardless of one's path of sadhana.
