A night sky cut by a blazing comet looks down upon a winding mountain ridge, where an ascending procession of torchbearers winds toward a summit temple radiant in its own light. In the Brahma-Vaiṣṇava understanding, the individual soul does not invent spiritual truth in isolation. Conditioned souls sleeping in the darkness of material illusion are roused by the spiritual masters of the paramparā, each passing the torch of revealed knowledge down an unbroken lineage toward Bhagavān.
