Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 >From Michael -- Although neither Karen nor I can attend the Guru Gita Discussion Group on Saturday, we were wondering how you felt about absentee participation in the form of a question for the Saturday group. Verses 76-80 (this week's reading) emphasize the Guru as the highest form of divinity and declare that the Guru should be worshiped as the highest form of divinity. This brings up a question. Given that there is an ever-expanding network of home temples that stretches from Australia to Amsterdam and all across the United States, how do people who have never been to Devi Mandir or met Shree Maa and Swamiji worship the Guru in their homes? Any practical suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hi Michael, You are a little ahead of us! Verses 91, 92 and 95 of the Guru Gita explain clearly how to worship the Guru. A little reminder... there is no time or space, so you are never separate from the Guru. Seeing the physical form or visiting the Devi Mandir has little to do with true worship. Open your heart to devotion to the Guru or to your Ishta Devata (favorite form of the Divine), and they will come. Murtis (pictures and statues) are an aid to visualizing the Guru. Also the wonderful videos like Across the States with Shree Maa and Swamiji and the Method and Meaning of Worship help you to make the connection with the Guru. Shree Maa has said that music is the highest form of worship. So..... sing to Them! Let me know how it goes. These Satgurus are so open to us. They are giving us everything. They are holding nothing back. We are all so blessed; whether we have had their darshan or not. The sun of wisdom shines on all equally.
