Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 The Vedas, Rigved, Yajurved, Saamved and Atharvaved, are the origin of the Indian culture. All the knowledge, sciences, arts, traditions and rituals in the whole Universe originated from the Vedas. According to the Vedas, Guru or spiritual teacher is higher and more real than god. The Guru is the one who enlightens the mind of the disciple, from whom the disciple receives the initiatory mantra, and who instructs in rituals and religious ceremonies. The Upanishads have profoundly underlined the role of the guru. Mundakopanishad says to realize the supreme godhead the disciple should surrender before the guru who knows the secrets of Vedas. Kathopanishad, too, speaks of the guru as the preceptor who alone can guide the disciple on the spiritual path. Tantra, which is a part of Atharvaved, is no exception. In tantra, every ritual and sadhana begins and ends with prayer to the Guru. No ritual can be complete without the Guru, nothing can be successful without the Guru. Purity, divinity, success, pleasure and salvation are not possible without the Guru. The following ritual is short, easy and very effective. It can be performed every morning for happiness and luck. It is recommended before commencing any other ritual to ensure success and safety. Method of performing this ritual After bathing, wear clean, comfortable clothes and sit facing east or north on a woolen mat with your legs folded. If available, place Guru Yantra or picture of your Guru in front of you. Purification Take some water in your left palm and sprinkle it all our your body using fingers of your right hand while chanting this: Om Apavitrah Pavitro Vaa Sarvaavasthaam Gatoapi Vaa.Yah Smaret Pundareekaaksham Sa Baahyabhyantarah Shuchih. Ganapati Dhyaan Join your hands (fingures pointing upwards) and pray to Lord Ganapati: Gajaananam Bhootaganaadhi Sevitam,Kapitthh Jamboo Phal Chaaru Bhakshanam.Umasutam Shok Vinaash Kaarakam,Namaami Vighneshwar Paad Pankajam. Mantra Jap Now, chant 21 rounds of the following mantra using Rudraksh or Sphatik rosary (made of 108 beeds): Om Shreem Shreem Guruvarapradaaya Shreem Namah After that, offer the mantra jap to your Guru and ask for his blessings. May God bless you all with perfect health and happiness. Ashish... narayan_dutt_shrimali mantra_tantra_yantra vote. - Register online to vote today!
