Ācāryas
Ācāryas are the great spiritual teachers who faithfully preserve, practice, and transmit the eternal teachings of the Vedas through both their instructions and personal example. Śrīla Prabhupāda repeatedly emphasizes that an authentic ācārya represents the Supreme Lord without change, guides conditioned souls back to Godhead, and inspires generations through pure devotional service.
