Na guror adhikam tatvam

Na guror adhikam tapah:

Na guror adhikam gnaaynam

                     Tamaishree guruve namah:                    

                                                                          Guru Geetha

   

The world is so miraculous. It moves at its own pace and no one can stop it. Everyone dreams of winning the world but at the end it is they who get defeated. People have high ambition of ruling and controlling the world. But little do they realize that they fail to conquer their own mind. We fall prey to our own mind.

The moment we see some one wearing a attractive dress we start calculating about how we would look in that dress. The minute we see a beautiful or handsome, female or male walking down the street our mind goes crazy and our thinking turns immoral. Our mind is easily lost in worldly riches and luxuries and we dream of enjoying those at some future date. The thieves within us like anger, lust greed steal ourselves and we dream about conquering the world.

It is Bagawan Krishna who has the power to control each and every activity of this world and we are merely tools in His hands. The Supreme lord does exist in form of idol, in form of Namasankeertan, in form of holy books like Bagawatham, Ramayana etc. But it is the Sathguru who makes us realize the divine power of Bagawan Krishna. It is he who lifts us from the dirt and cleanses us.

So it is said in Guru Geetha that "Na guror adhikam tatvam". It means there is no higher philosophy than Guru. People say it is necessary to follow certain philosophy and principles in life. Philosophy is nothing but assimilation of ideas/truth that would help us to lead a smooth life sans sorrows. Most of the times philosophies tend to look good only in books and when it comes to practical life its application is constrained. GURU - the one who guides us in every step of life, the one who is always ready for our rescue, the one who gives us confidence and motivation from within. So can there be a superior philosophy than guru? The true essence of all philosophies can be understood only if one understands the philosophy of guru.  Even the Upanishads says the secret of Upanishads is revealed only to the one who has superior Guru Bhakthi".

"Na guror adhikam tapah":   It means there is no superior meditation than Guru. Meditate is to focus our mind. The moment one thinks of his guru thousands of lights of happiness are lit in his mind. The person who can give such strength has to be the highest form of meditation. Modern day meditation asks for focusing our mind on a single spot or on a candle flame. It seems to be a little difficult to concentrate when thousands of thoughts are running in our mind. Doing such kind of meditation seems to be out of compulsion as there exist no interest between us and the candle flame.  It is not necessary to devote separate time for meditation upon Guru as required in other cases. On the other hand it is easy to meditate upon our guru because of his never ending grace that we experience each moment.

"Na Guror adhikam naaynam". There is no higher knowledge that Guru. It is said the world is vast ocean of knowledge. All these knowledge put together cannot compete with the knowledge of Guru. The highest knowledge is to know the wish of Guru and behave as per His desire. Because it is Guru who knows what is good for us and which would give us the Supreme happiness. Guru imparts the knowledge that is immortal and comes with us for all Janmas (births). A Guru enlightens us with the knowledge that 'Bagawan Krishna is always there to protect us and he won't leave us in any situation.' This is the true knowledge which would help us in all times and situation. The specialized knowledge in one field will not be helpful during all times of our lives. The rocket scientist who is drowing will find his rocket science to be useless in a effort to save his life. But the knowledge of imparted by Guru will save a person even if he is caught in a flood.

It is said that when you stand facing the light it's hard to see a shadow. So if we have a Sathguru its difficult to be unhappy. We must bow down to such a Guru who is highest form of philosophy, meditation and knowledge.

ACHYUTHA PRIYAA

' short stories to regain your faith '

Radhekrishna! Just as you all are eager to know whether the boy called Gopal Anna or not we are eager to know what experience Gopal Anna gave to you all.

The boy was feeling very much afraid of erasing the dense forest. He was feeling extremely lonely. In most of the human beings it can be noticed that loneliness automatically arouses an unknown fear within them. The reason for this is human mind. At lonely times human mind has the power to think about Krishna as well as other unwanted things. It is up to every individual that whether to go into the dream world and develop unnecessary fear within them or think about Krishna, enjoy His grace and make oneself feel safe and secured. All the great Bhakthaas and Mahatmas love to be alone, so that they can experience the grace of Krishna to the maximum extent without any interruption or disturbance.

The first thing which every individual in this world loves is His own body. Everyone is concerned about them and has hidden fear that nothing should happen to them though many may not express this or accept this. The sole purpose of human body is to do Bhakthi. We are provided with eyes to see Bagawan Krishna, ears are to hear His stories, nose is to smell the fragrance of the flowers offered on His body, mouth is to eat the food offered to Him and legs are to walk to His place. We can consider ourselves as human beings only if we do bhakthi!!!!

We have come in this world with a human body only to do bhakthi. This is the last opportunity granted to us to do bhakthi and attain Moksha! We have taken birth as an insect, bird, animals in our previous births and have enjoyed pleasures of every sort but the only thing which we have failed to do is bhakthi. So only we have been given a second chance. When we are born in this sacred Bharata Bhoomi, as a Hindu, i.e. in Santhana Hindu Dharma and are having great Sathguru who shall guide us, bring Bagawan Krishna in front of us and teach us naamasankeertanam, then we should feel ashamed if we are devoid of bhakthi.

Human life is just a time span between the birth and the death. We all are of the opinion that our age increases only once in a year. But we are getting older everyday. Each hour, each minute, each second is taking us to death!!! Birth and death are the two facts of human life. One fact that is birth has already taken place. Now we are negligent when death would occur. Upanishad says everyday when the sun rises it takes away 12 hours of our life and it sets taking away another 12 hours of life.

vedhanooR piraayam nooru manisar thaam puguvarelum
paathiyum urangip pOgum ninRathiR pathinaiyaaNdu
pEthai baalaganathaagum piNi pasi moopputh thunbam
aathalaal piRavi vEndaam arangamaa nagaruLaanE

This means in case if an individual survives till the 100 years of his age, nearly 50 years is spent in sleep. In the remaining 50 years some years are spent in childhood during which we are unaware about anything, then some years are spent roaming in dream world during our teens. On crossing the teenage, mind sets out in search of achieving various things then the old age comes with varieties of disease and draining out of energy.

This is in short, the life schedule of every human being. In order to enjoy the true happiness and to lead a smooth and secured life one has to chant the naama of Bagawan Krishna. a child feels very much secured in the presence of its parents and walks coolly by holding its mother with one hand and father with the other. Similarly we should catch hold of Krishna with one hand and Radhe with the other and move safely in this journey of life. We all are concerned and try our level best to satisfy and provide happiness to our body which is perishable and shall mix up with the mud one day. But we all forget to provide happiness to our Aathma (soul) which is imperishable. Our Aathma shall get enlightened only if we do bhakthi.

In this Kaliyug Bagawan Krishna is in the form of naamasankeertanam. Mandaha Sumandamatayo Mandha Bhagya Hi Upadrithaha. Bagawan Krishna knows that the life span of the people in this Kaliyuga is very short. Their mind as well as their fate is dull. So our kind hearted Bagawan Krishna out of His utter mercy has come down from His level and made Himself very easily reachable to every jeevathma in this kaliyuga. All the great saints; bhakthaas and mahathmas of the past were aware of this fact. They all have very clearly and firmly provided guidance to the people in this kaliyuga that naamasankeertanam is the most easiest path of attaining Bagawan Krishna. Naamasankeertanam is the Kaliyuga dharma. Harer Naama Harer Naama Harer Naamaiva Kaivalam Kalao Naasthyeva Naasthyeva NAasthyeva Gathiranyatha.

The people in this kaliyuga need everything in the instant form as they are leadinga fast moving life. naamasankeertanam is the instant form of attaining the grace of Bagawan which was present neither in the Kriteya Yugam, nor Treta Yugam nor Dwapara Yugam. Hence it is said:

kruthe yath dhyaatho vishnum
threthaayam yajatho makaihai
dwaapare paricharyaayaam 
kalauv thath hari keerthanaath

Meaning: the result (fruit) which one gets by doing dhyanam (meditation) in krite yugam, doing yagnam in treat yugam, and doing pooja in dwapara yugam, one shall get the same result in kaliyuga just by chanting the naama of Bagawan Krishna.

Such is the boundless mercy of Bagawan Krishna on His children born in this Kaliyuga. But we human beings are so much drowned in this worldly pleasure that we fail to realize the grace of Bagawan. Even today Bagawan Krishna is waiting eagerly to come running for every jeevathma which calls Him. But how many of us call Him? We all remember Him either at the times of difficulty or necessity. Even during difficulties we curse and blame Him. But He accepts this lovingly and keeps on showering His grace on us. We have no rights to blame Bagawan for our difficulties. We ourselves and our self-pride is the reason for every difficulty which we face in our life.

The major fear of that boy was something might happen to him while crossing the forest. His fear started increasing and could not resist himself and started calling Gopal Anna. He did not know who this Gopal Anna is! He was not aware that Gopal Anna is the creator of this universe, the great supreme Lord Krishna. He knew only one thing and that is Gopal Anna would surely respond to his call. He unknowingly had a staunch faith in Bagawan Krishna. This unconditional belief made Gopal Anna responds immediately to the call of that boy. Our kind hearted sweet little Krishna came running on hearing the call of this innocent child.

What did this boy do on seeing Gopal Anna? Wait till our next issue. Till then Radhekrishna!!!!!

RADHEKRISHNA

JAY POOJYA POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA

 I am one of the disciples of Guruji. Life has undergone lot of changes after I got MANTRAUPADESHAM from Guruji. At first I found it as waste of time. But after hearing many pravachans of Guruji on gurumahimai and krishnaleelai, I came to realize that namajapam only can give real happiness. Guruji asks us totally surrender to lotus feet of Gurujiamma and be the property of lord Krishna .

Really I was drowning in the sea of worldly things and thought that it could only give me happiness, Guruji came as a ship and saved me.

With the blessing of Gurujiamma and Guruji, I have got many divine experiences, of them one of the experiences that touched my heart is----

I am studying in S.Y.B.A. My exams were going on in the month of March. I get scared of exams, so before leaving for exam, I used to talk with Gurujiamma and Guruji for getting their blessings. By talking with them, I feel relaxed as if my heavy burden from my shoulder has left out. Gurujiamma and Guruji told me to chant lord's name and write down the paper. My exams were also going well.

But on my last paper, day before going to exam I had talked to Gurujiamma and Guruji to take their blessings. Gurujiamma told me to chant lord Krishna's name as She always says. [But something amma has never told me for other exams] Gurujiamma told me [PATH DI PAPER PARANDUDA PORADHU] be careful or paper will fly away.  This is something that Amma has never told before for any of my exams. I could not clearly get the words spoken by Amma. I kept on thinking but could not recognize the words spoken by Amma; I left everything on Gurujiamma's lotus feet and started preparing for my paper.

 On 20th march was my last paper. I was sitting in examination hall and chanting lord Krishna's name. But some miracle happened. I was very surprised. Normally, I do not check the answer book. But on that day, I went through the answer book [as Amma hinted me] and to my surprise I found that most of my answer sheet were not tied properly. If I had not noticed it, then my answer sheet would have literally flown. At that point of time, I came to realize the real meaning of words spoken by Amma. The golden words spoken by guru has some inner meaning and often we neglect it. It is all because of Amma's krupai and karunai; if I would not have believed in Amma's words anything could have happened, I would have lost many marks. This itself suggests that Gurujiamma has so much care for us. This is something everyone yearns for. I got this experience only because of Amma's grace. I am very happy.

I expect more such divine experiences, which will enhance gurubhakti.
