Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 kalika Putra [dakinic_monk] > Who is currently the oldest guru in sri vidya? - In our dharma, physical age of teacher is not an issue. A person's greatness is determined based on his/her qualities and qualifications. Take examples such as shankara and jnAna sambhanda. Guru can be young and his/her disciples can be old. - Physical age of body, does not reflect the journey the jiiva has gone through and learnt in many previous incarnations. This is one of the reasons, one should not go by age/race/gender/social status/fame etc. Even in this list there are people, who are quite young by the age of their body in this incarnation, but much advanced in terms are sAdhana and jnAna. (However, it is the duty of young to be polite and respectful to the elderly and vice versa it is the duty of the elderly to reflect the attitude that respect is not based on physical age of a body.) --- Other way of looking at your question is: Oldest guru of Sri Vidya tradition at all times and all places, is shriimaata HERSELF. That is why shankara says "shriinaathaadi guru svaruupa vibhave". Hence, no matter what the age is, one should look at his/her guru as God HERSELF. -- ambaaL daasan Ravi www.ambaa.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
