Detailed explanation-1: -Saguna is worship of God with form and nirguna is worship of God without form. There are two sides of the same coin. The Guru is the embodied form of the formless Absolute. He or she is none other than God himself because God is a name attributed to the Supreme Self when it chooses to assume name and form.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chaitanya Mahaprabhu He taught the philosophy of Achintaya Bheda-Abheda. He was a Saguna who popularized “Kirtans” (religious songs) as a means of worship.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ramanuja became a priest at the Varadharāja Perumal temple (Vishnu) at Kānchipuram, where he began to teach that moksha (liberation and release from samsara) is to be achieved not with metaphysical, nirguna Brahman but with the help of personal god and saguna Vishnu.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Hindu scriptures have two ways of thinking that help with this understanding. The first of these is nirguna, which means ‘without form’ and ‘without qualities’. The second way of thinking of Brahman is saguna, which means ‘with form’ and ‘with qualities’.
