Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Preamble: Swamiji particularly says as to what one should do for the fulfilment of the initiation in the form of intuition and experience to be felt in one's heart. Verse 47 Sarva Shriti shiroratna Padaambujam / Vedaantaambuja Sooryaabham Sri Gurum sharanam vrajet // Obeisance to Sadguru to whose lotus feet the Vedas hold the holy camphor light and who is the sun for the lotuses of Vedanta or the Upanishads. It is a figurative expression in which the Guru is described as receiving the venerable low-bow of all the Vedas, the gems of whose diadems spread their lustre over the feet of the Guru, as if the Vedas ever hold their holy camphor lights (Niranjanam) to Him. In other words, the greatness of the Guru has been acknowledged in all the Vedas. Again He is as the sun to the lotuses-like Vedantas or Upanishads. He is as friendly to the Upanishads as the sun to the lotuses. It also means that He is equally held in esteem by all the Upanishads. Hence, for the accomplishment of the knowledge divine, no other way except taking refuge in a Guru is there. So says Lord Shiva. Make a great connection at Personals. http://personals.
