Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Preamble: Swamiji has explained the variations of the prayful phrases SHIVAAYA GURAVE NAMAH and TASMAI SHRI GURAVE NAMAH. Verse 79 Shrinaadha charanadwamdwam yasyaam dishi viraajate / Tasyai dishe namaskuryaaat bhaktyaa prati dinam priye // When we offer our obeisance to Guru, Swamji directs us to offer it mainly at His feet and affirms that the side in which the Guru's feet are is equally great. Oh Paarvati! You should offer your obeisance every day to the side or direction in which your Lord Guru's pair of feet rests. Swamiji here says that Guru stands for the Lord (Shrinadha). This shows that He is the personification of Vishnu, giver of wealth, (Lakshmipradudu,) auspicious, and not only an embodiiment of prosperity, but also the form of pure dynanism. The term 'Shrinada' has so many connotations. The direction in which the Guru's feet are should be offered obeisance,says Swamiji; but when He is the purified form of dynamism His feet will be in all directions and this need not be overemphasized.
