Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Here is our verse for today, lets hear your thoughts. 133. Even one letter of the Guru Gita is as a king of mantras. Others of the myriad of mantras are not to be valued as the sixteenth part (1/16 of one letter). By means of this recitation, one attains infinite rewards. Pranams.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Kalia, Swamiji has said that the reason for this kind of verse is to get people to chant the scripture, and also, because it's true. I think that without creating and nurturing a strong connection with the guru, sadhana is much more difficult, no matter what mantras we repeat. Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Your answer reminded me of the story of the faithful servant who recognised that all that his master had was through the blessing of his Guru. The servant would always try to serve the Guru as best he could when the Guru came to visit his master. One day, the servant asked the Guru for the mantra which was given to his master, the Guru replied "next time". On the Guru's next visit to the disciple's home some time after, the master enquired as to what the Guru had told his servant when he last visited, the master confessed to the Guru that since His (the Guru) last visit, the servant locked himself in a room and had not been seen since. The Guru decided to investigate and when He entered the locked room, there was that faithful servant samadhi chanting "next time, next time". I really love this story it is a beautiful and inspiring and to hear it told by Swamiji, it is as though you are experiencing the moment. (The story can be found on the tape "Shree Maa on tour -1998") Thanks Chris. Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Yes, I remember the story well. It used to be played regularly on Shree Maa Radio. I always felt envious of the servant's dedication.
