Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Dearest devotees, Earlier a new member (sri ranjani) had asked about the guru-paduka stotram. OUR maball moderator Shri Aravind AND SHRI Satish had earlier elaborated on the mahima of ambaal lotus feet! Guru feet or guru's paduka are to be honored and respected just as if they are ambal's feet. for a true guru is ambaal in human form. in sree lalita sahasaranama, sree lalita is described as guru-murtihi! sree lalita herself is the guru! it is through ger grace and mercy we are led to the feet of the human guru! that is why in tantrik literature gur is called gurdevata - guru is nin-different from devata or devi! The Guru's Sandals, or padukas, represent the power of the Guru to uplift and transform us. the sandals of the guru are regarded with reverence. it is my pleasure to share this beautiful guru sloka with you on this day of guru! Dhyana mulam guru murti, Puja mulam guru paduka Mantra mulam guru vakyam, Moksha mulam guru kripa. Meditation begins in the form of our master, Adoration begins at the feet of our lord, Concentration begins in the words of our master, Liberation begins in the grace of our lord. ead the following links for guru paduka stotram... www.clas.ufl.edu/users/gthursby/tantra/guru.htm sanskrit.gde.to/TextsElsewhere.html cached sanskrit.gde.to/TextsElsewhere.html cached om shri gurave namaha!
