Happy Guru Day to All

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Today is Thursday, the special day for offering praise to Gurujis

everywhere. If you are pressed for time and cannot chant the Guru

Gita here is a prayer that can be offered -

 

"Guru Puja

worship of the guru

 

akhandamandalakaram vyaptam yena caracaram

tatpadam darsitam yena tasmai srigurave namah

 

The Guru shows the universality of the entire creation, which is

distinguished by movable and immovable objects. Therefore we bow down

to the Respected Guru.

 

dhyanamulam gurormurtih pujamulam guroh padam

mantramulam gurorvakyam moksamulam guroh krpa

 

The root of meditation is the image of the Guru; the root of worship

is at the feet of the Guru the root of mantra is the word of the

Guru; the root of self-realization is the Grace of the

Guru.

 

gurur brahma guruvishnuh, gurudevo mahevarah

gurusakat param brahma tasmai srigurave namah

 

The Guru (Dispeller of Darkness) is Brahma, Creative Consciousness;

The Guru (Dispeller of Darkness) is Visnu, All-Pervading

Consciousness; The Guru (Dispeller of Darkness) is the Lord

Mahesvara, the Great Seer of All, or Great Ruler of All. The Guru is

indeed the Supreme Deity, and therefore we bow down to the Respected

Guru.

 

ete gandhapuspe om sri gurave namah

With these scented flowers we bow to the Respected Guru."

 

 

Pranams at the Respected Lotus Feet of the True Guru.
