Siksa-guru - the person from whom one receives instructions on how to progress on the path of bhajana is known as siksa-guru, or instructing spiritual master. After hearing instructions from the sravana-guru, the person from whom one hears about the fundamental truths of Bhagavan, a desire may arise to engage in bhajana. If such a desire arises, the person whom one approaches in order to learn how to perform bhajana is known as a siksa-guru.

The sravanaguru and siksa-guru are usually one and the same person as stated in the Bhakti-sandarbha, Anuccheda 206 - atha sravana-guru bhajanasiksa- gurvo prayakam-ekatam-iti tathaivaha.

Bhajana-kriya - taking up the practices of bhakti, such as hearing and chanting. There are sixty-four primary angas of bhakti, of which the first four are to take shelter of the lotus feet of sri-guru; to receive diksa and siksa; to serve one’s guru with great affection; and to follow the path of sadhus. Without adopting these practices, there is no question of making any advancement in bhajana. This is the second stage in the development of the creeper of bhakti which occurs by the influence of sadhu-sanga.
