Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to You on Your auspicious appeareance day!

Because i have nothing and don't know anything, i'll borrow few words from the previous elevated persons like our founder acharya Srila Prabhupada and His perfect disciple to tell something relevant to Your appeareance day.

Srila Prabhupada said about siksa guru:
"...the spiritual master who gives instructions for elevation is called the siksa-guru."
Srila Prabhupada: Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta Madhya-lila 8.128.purport

"What is the function of the siksa-guru?
The siksa-guru teaches you how to maintain your relationship with Krishna eternally, how to do bhajana, how to serve Krishna — because you are the servitor and Krishna is the person to be served. You may take siksa from many gurus on different levels.
We give the following example: Your legs are dangling in the air. How can your legs be fixed in the land of Vrindavan? That is siksa-guru’s business. He fixes your legs in the land of Vrindavan. That establishes the relationship. Then the next phase is that you cannot stand still. You should learn to move. The siksa-guru teaches you how to move."
Gour Govinda Swami: Lecture, Bhubaneswar, 2 August 1990. In: Madhavananda Das: When Good Fortune Arises. Life an teachings of Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja. GopalJiu Publications, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, pp. 326-327.

I know by following your instructions and example i will be able not just to move but dance also.
So thank you for Your practical and sometimes life-saver hints and tips!

Hare Krsna,
your servant:
