Sloka No-45 (guru gita)

 

`Gu' is a symbol of the darkness of ignorance. `ru' dispels that

darkness. Teacher is thus referred to as a "Guru" because he removes

from his disciple's mind the darkness of ignorance.

Namaste,

 

The verses quoted in the previous messages are at the above

URL, at numbers: 31 44 45 46 47 and 91.

 

I have not been able to locate an etymological source for the

letters gu and ru. Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan published an English

translation (by R.G.K.) of Kanchi Mahaswami's Tamil discourses on

'The Guru Tradition'. It would appear that many meanings are given to

help the seeker to concentrate on the Guru's glory.

 

Another well-known verse is:

 

dhyAnamUlaM gurormUrtiH The basis for meditation is the Guru's form;

 

 

pUjAmUlaM guroH padam | for worship, his feet;

 

mantramUlaM gurorvAkyaM for the sacred chant, his words;

 

mokShamUlaM guroH kR^ipA || for deliverance, his Grace.

 

 

 

Regards,

 

Sunder
