Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Chris wrote (on Guru Gita Verse 113): I had been wanting to point out the meditation aspect of this verse.As in so many other verses previous to this, we are enjoined tomeditate upon the guru...Sometimes we are told to repeat the mantra of the guru, orrepeat the name of the guru. Sometimes we are told to worship.Sometimes we are told to serve. Sometimes we are told to remember,with love and reverence. Sometimes we are told to contemplate,sometimes intuit. Sometimes we are told to meditate... Dear Chris ~ You had quite a lot to say, and all of it quite clear in pointing out patterns and relationships within the Guru Gita, as well as a stages of practice. What I want to ask you is what is the mantra of the Guru? I remember once having one of the little cards, with a picture of Shree Maa on the front and a Shree Maa mantra on the back. Sadly, I have moved several times, and I cannot find the card. Do you know the mantra for Shree Maa? And is there one for Swami? I am meaning this aside from a personal mantra that the guru might give an individual devotee. I will look forward to your response. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Hi Linda, Yeah, I just happen to have that... Shree Maa Gayatri Om sanaatani maayaa vidmahe jnaana prakaashaayai dhimahe tanno shriimaam prachodayaat Om we meditate upon the Eternal Measurement of Consciousness, contemplate She who illuminates wisdom. May that Shree Maa grant us increase. Jai Maa!
