Q&A with Swamiji .....73...Guru Sakshat Param Brahma

[Guest guest]

Question from Kanna Krishnan :

 

Verse 32 of the Guru Gita states

 

gurubrahma guruvisnurgururdevo mahesvarah

gururEVA parabrahma tasmai srigurave namah

 

The Guru is Brahma , the Guru is Visnu , the Guru is Lord

Maheswara . The Guru is actually the Supreme Divinity and

therefore we bow down to the respected Guru .

 

Therefore what does this mantra mean then ;

 

gurubrahma guruvisnurgururdevo mahesvarah

gururSAKSHAT parabrahma tasmai srigurave namah

 

Thank you.

 

Swamiji's response :

 

The Guru is actually the Supreme Divinity...
