Thanks to each and every one and Happy Guru Purnima

July 19, 2005

The Guru is Brahma, the Guru is Vishnu, the Guru is Lord Mahesvara.

The Guru is actually the Supreme Divinity and therefore, we bow down

to the respected Guru.

Pranams.

Dear All,

Through the Divine Grace of our Beloved Gurujis, we have reached the

penultimate verse of the Guru Gita on this the eve of Guru Purnima.

Deepest thanks and love to Beloved Guru Shree Maa and Swami Satyanda

for giving us this opportunity and to the many family and friends

that joined us in sharing their knowledge, love and inspiration. May

this oneness of heart continue.

i would like to share with you an exerpt from a web article which

speaks about Guru.

The day of Guru-Puja or worship is a day of pure joy to the sincere

aspirant. Thrilled by the expectation of offering his reverent homage

to the beloved Guru, aspirant awaits this occasion with eagerness and

devotion. It is the Guru alone that breaks the binding cords of

attachment and releases the aspirant from the trammels of earthly

existence. The Sruti says: "To that high-souled aspirant, whose

devotion to the Lord is great and whose devotion to his Guru is as

great as that to the Lord, these secrets explained, become

illuminated." Guru is Brahman or Isvara Himself. He guides and

inspires you from the innermost core of your being. He is everywhere.

Have a new angle of vision. Behold the entire universe as

Guru-Svarupa. See the guiding hand, the awakening voice, the

illumining touch of the Guru in every object in this Creation. The

whole world will now stand transformed before your changed vision.

The Virat Guru will reveal all the precious secrets of life and

bestow wisdom. The Supreme Guru, manifest in visible Nature, will

teach you the most valuable lessons of life. Worship daily this Guru

of Gurus, the Guru who taught even Avadhuta Dattatreya. The silent

all-enduring earth with its lofty forbearance, the shady

fruit-bearing tree with its willing self-sacrifice, the mighty Banyan

tree (Pipal) reposing with patience in the tiny seed, the dripping

drops whose persistence wears away the rocks, the planets and the

seasons with their orderly punctuality and regularity are divine

Gurus to him who will look, listen and receive.

Become a personification of receptivity. Empty yourself of your petty

ego-sense. All the treasures locked up in the bosom of Nature will

become yours! You will have progress and perfection in an amazingly

short time. Become pure and unattached as the mountain breeze. As the

river flows continuously, steadily and constantly towards its goal,

the ocean, by moving every moment of your life towards the Supreme

State of Existence-Knowledge-Bliss, let all your thoughts, all your

words, all your actions be directed only towards the Goal.

Happy Guru day to all and may our actions lead us closer to that Goal.
