Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Verse 38 Shareeramatham praanaamscha Sadgurubhyo nivedayet / Aatmaanamapi daasyaaya Vaideho Janako yathaa // Your body, wealth and life should be offered to your Guru. Just like Janaka, the Videha, you should offer yourself and surrender to Him like a servant. Here the emperor Janaka is cited as an ideal of self-surrender. There are many stories about Janaka's devotion to His Guru. In one story His Guru asks him to draw the cart, seated Himself in it and Janaka does it. Then his Guru asks him to carry Him on his shoulders round the street, which he implicitly obeys with pleasure. That is the mark of self-surrender.
