Regarding upasana

[Guest guest]

Dear ramesh,

 

There is a popular saying in telugu which says " An uneducated washerman is

better than an educated person " . My gurupatni smt. varalakshmi was uneducated

lady who studied upto 1st class. She got married as those were the times of

child marriages.

 

Had she questioned the paramacharya like us i think she would not have

achieved the Mano Laya Yoga which is difficult form of upasana for even yogis.

The quality she had was achanchala guru bhakti towards paramacharya. Mantra

Mulam Gururor Murtihi... says the sruti. Whatever words that come from the mouth

of gurunatha who is a realised person is a mantra even if it is a simple stotra.

 

This poor lady unlike us had perfect faith on her husband and gurunatha. She

got what she wanted.

 

And moreover, initiation is not giving a mantra in the right ear and doing

japa 108 times!!!. Initiation is putting the jiva in its original source ie.,

back to hridaya guha.

 

With regards,

sriram
