Sringeri Jagadguru explains about the Greatness of Guru (Tamil):

Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji arrived at the picturesque village of Sundarapandiyapuram on the evening of 10th May 2012. The Jagadguru was received reverentially and joyfully by the residents of the Agrahara. At a public function organized at the Rukmini Satyabhama Sameta Rajagopala Swamy temple, the Jagadguru began His Anugraha Bhashanam speaking about the greatness of the Guru. The Guru will always have a feeling of goodwill towards his disciples. It is said –

शिवे रुष्टे गरुस्त्राता गुरौ रुष्टे न कशचन –

śivē ruṣṭē garustrātā gurau ruṣṭē na kaśacana –

If the Lord gets angry, the Guru protects you. But if the Guru gets angry, there is no one who can protect you. Not even the Lord. The Jagadguru also mentioned the Guru Bhakti of Sri Adi Shankaracharya quoting the first verse from the Acharya’s famous Prakarana, Vivekachoodamani –

गोविन्दं परमानन्दं सद्गुरुं प्रणतोऽस्म्यहम्

gōvindaṁ paramānandaṁ sadguruṁ praṇatō'smyaham

wherein the Acharya pays obeisance to His Guru, Sri Govinda Bhagavatpada. The Jagadguru then said that we must hence adhere to the instructions given by the Guru.
