Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Guru Brahma Gurur Vishnu Guru Devo maheshwara Guru Shakshat Parabrahma Tasmai Sri Guruve Namah Vivekachoodamani 1.Sarva- vedantha -siddantha-gocaram tam agocaram govindam paramanandam sadgurum pranto'smyham I tender my obeisance to my sadguru,govinda,the embodiment of supreme bliss,who is beyond thought and speecg and who is the goal of all vedantic truths (It is to be noted that Sri Bhagavadpada combines in this sloka his obeisance both to his own immediate guru,Sri Govinda bhagavadpada and to supreme God Sri Govinda HimselfHe identifies his guru with the supreme god) 2.Jantunam narajanma durlabham atah pumstvam tato viprata tasmad vaidika-dharmamargaparata vidvattvam asmat param atmanatmavivecanam svanubhavo brahmatmana sasmsthitih mukitrno satakotijanmasu krtaih punyairvina labhyate To those who take birth, birth as a human being is difficult to get;more difficult than it is birth as a male;and more than it is birth as a brahmana.Because it is so,steadfastness in pursuing the path of dharma prescribed in the Vedas(must be got by present effort).After that( after securing requisite learning), discrminination betwenn self and non self(must be made) and also perfect experience. Liberation which is premanent being as Brahman cannot be obtained without meritorious deeds done in hundreds of crores of births.
