What was written above is TOTALLY WRONG and BASELESS.Every shloka

in Guru Gita which is from "SKANDA PURANA" says contary to what was

written above. Many major tantras contradict the above. Personal

opinions are opinions and have no value. The reference to islam is in

poor taste. For a shisya, Guru is more than God and HAS TO BE

WORSHIPPED. There is absolutely no moxa without worshipping the Guru.

Satish

 

I respectfully request you to adopt a milder tone. Is it not enough

to lay the facts on the table and leave the matter at that.

Especially (in this context) using all capital letters in words is

like shouting out loud (an internet etiquette).

 

Let us take this discussion purely at philosophical level.

 

(side note: The true context of capital letters, originally in Greek,

was to praise great men and women. That is, when ancient greeks used

to refer to great ones, they use capitals. That is why when I refer

to ambaa, I use SHE, HER, etc.)
