Guest guest Posted December 3, 2001 Report Share Posted December 3, 2001 Preamble: Now in which colours and decorations and robes Guru should be meditated upon is revealed. Verse 91 Svetaambaram sveta vilepa pushpam Muktaa vidhoosham muditam trinetram / Vaamaamka peetasthita divyashaktim Mamdasmitam saamdra krupa nidhaanam // Guru, the image of Shiva, as put on white clothes, donned the white sandal paste, decked Himself with garlands of white flowers and pearls, delighting Himself, three-eyed, as the Divine power seated on His left thigh, ever-smiling and as an ocean of compassion, should be meditated upon. It is not necessary that Guru should always be in this outfit, but there are inner meanings for the clothes, sandals and the garlands He wears. We have to observe this keenly. For example, saffron stands for sacrifice and virtue, white clothes for the virtue coupled with a sweet truth, white sandal paste for the state beyond desire and prejudice, the garland of pearls for His superior strength surpassing that of all the planets. If all His decorations are white, it is an indication that He is willing to bestow knowledge upon you. Buy the perfect holiday gifts at Shopping.
