 GURU MAHIMA  

hymns in praise of guru

Dhyanam moolam Guror moorthi

Pooja moolam Guror Padham

Manthra Moolam Guror Vaakyam

Mukthi moolam Guro:  Krupa  

'One should meditate on Guru, do worship of his divine feet,  his words should be considered as mantra and liberation is possible only due to Guru's Grace.'  

The most common definition of life would be 'A mixture of joy and sorrows' (where sorrows have a upper hand over joys. This definition is developed because most of our hearts are wounded. This wound is given by people or factors surrounding us. In most of the cases we hurt ourselves. Music, entertainment, outing etc are to forget the pain of the wound for a while and when life is back on its track the ache pinches. These wound does not heal and even if they heal , they leave their scars.

Knowing all these facts we are unable to rise above it. so we take it for granted that life is a mixture of joys and sorrows. In attempt to get rid of the wound we are seeking help of other who themselves are wounded. The other person can understand the magnitude of our difficulty depending on how much our pain has affected his/her heart. And many a time we expect remedy from those who are the root cause of our sorrow. This would not solve our purpose but make our position worse. So a question arises has God sent us on this earth to make us suffer this excruciating pain? It is definitely not so. He has sent Guru on this earth for upgrading the samsaris (wordly people). A Guru not only does put an end to our sufferings but gift us with supreme happiness.

Recently the concept of meditation has gained importance and is suggested for leading a stress free life. This methodology was recommended long back in our vedhas. In a layman's language meditation would be to close your eyes and focus your mind. Now the question indeed is on what do we focus our mind. It would be really difficult to keep our mind focused on the Supreme Lord because being an ordinary person entrap in the web of maya we have hardly realized the sanctity of Lord Krishna.But even being an ordinary person and engulfed with desires we can realise the grace of our Guru. Guru being visible even to this naked eyes makes him more generous. So it is easy to meditate upon Guru which would give spell bound happiness. So it is said ' Dhyana moolam Gururormoorthi'

In most of the cases worship of a deity is done in order to get anything in return. It is found that for each kind of wish a different Deity is worshipped. But Guru can be said to be exception to this. He fulfills all our wishes irrespective of their nature. All our desires are satisfied even before we uttering an word to Guru. So it far better to worship a Kalpavrisha like Guru who only grants good wishes. Hence it is said ' Pooja moolam Guror Padham'  

What is Mantra a collection of few words having a sanctity and is meant to have welfare powers. What ever Guru utters is for the good of disciples. He has realized the Supreme one. A Guru takes birth because he has unbound sympathy on us and wants to upgrade us. Hence his words should be taken as Mantra meant to do only good things for the disciples. So it goes ' Manthra Moolam GurorVaakya '

Liberation is what we yearn for. But do we have  the capability to liberate ourselves from the chain of birth and death. Even for learning worldly skill we are required to get ourselves trained under the guidance of an expert. Same applies to Spirituality. The one who has realized the God (Guru) can only show the way to salvation. In this world things can be get done easily if we are influential. Similarly Guru's influence can take us to the feet of Lord Krishna. So a Guru's grace will only liberate the entangled souls. So it is said ' Mukthi moolam Guror Krupa'  

These are not flattering praises about a Guru but are true facts. If you tell a layman about launching of satellite station he will feel it hard to believe. Unless he has some knowledge about rocket science it wouldn't be acceptable to him. So until you are under the shade of Sathguru it is highly impossible to realize GuruMahima.

ACHYUTHA PRIYAA

short stories to regain your faith

In the last issue we saw that how the boy got up eagerly in the morning on the day of swati nakshatram and prayed to Bagawan Krishna with full confidence and faith!!!

He had only one thing in his mind that he is Bagawan Krishna's child and Krishna will look after everything. Yes it is indeed true!!! We all are Bagawan Krishna's child. No matter we are of any age the true and real fact is that we don't know anything!!! We are aware of only few things in life and that too we might be having some necessity to know these few things.... but there are many things in life that we aren't aware about! A doctor might not be aware about law; a lawyer won't be aware about engineering and vice versa...This itself proves that nobody is aware of everything. People know only a few things in the field they are engaged in. Hence it is Bagawan who knows everything and guides us.

HRUDAYAANJALI

power of divine grace

RadheKrishna!!!  My whole-hearted namaskarams at the Lotus feet of my Guruji Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar.

My Guruji always says that keep on doing Namasankeertanam and Bagawan Krishna would guide you and be with you in each and every step of your life. My Guruji used to tell me that life would be full of divine experiences once I would get married. These words of my Guruji really turned out to be true. By the Krupay of my Guruji I had several divine experiences especially after marriage. 

With the full-fledged and whole-hearted blessings of my Guruji I got married on 13th December 2004. Life was something new to me after marriage. Though I was away from my Guruji I could feel HIS sanctity with me always. HE used to guide me in each and every path of my life. I could experience a divine inner happiness which I had never experienced before. Life was full of happiness only. I could feel the calmness within me. I had no fear, no tension even when I was surrounded by only new faces about whom I knew nothing. Guruji always used to say that if we chant Bagawan would control us and would make us talk and act in a manner which would give satisfaction and happiness to others. We need not worry about anything.  This is what happened with me. My Guruji made me fulfill my responsibilities toward my eldres in such a manner that everyone enjoyed my company. This is the power of having a Sathguru. He would be ever willing to guide us and fill our life with happiness and for this HE would even involve HIMSELF in our personal matters. HE would come down to our level and bless us and fill our life with happiness. 

My husband was working in Muscat. so he had booked his return ticket for Muscat on 1st of January 2005. But I could accompany him to Muscat only if I would get my Visa within that 20 days gap. Actually I was very keen to travel with my husband itself as it was the first time that I was going to  board an international flight and I was also totally unaware of the Air-Port procedures and international rules and regulations. Moreover Muscat was a totally new country for me.  Guruji used to tell me to pray to Krishna with an unconditional faith that Krishna please help me to get my Visa and Krishna would do the rest for you.

I really dont know how much faith I have in my Guruji. But I know only one thing that let it be any sort of problem or difficulty but once I would inform my Guruji about it HE would surely bring me out of it and would solve my difficulty. So I had a faith that I would surely accompany my husband to Muscat as my Guruji would look after the visa processing. I have a strong belief that once my Guruji takes over the responsibility about any matter relating to HIS shishyai and shishyan the ultimate outcome would be success only. Gurujis disciples can never meet with failures in their life. Gurujis grace would make each of HIS disciple to overcome each and every obstacle in their life. 

.Till 23rd of December 2004 we were not aware about any details of my visa processing. Actually my husband had handed over all the necessary documents to one of his friend and had requested him to look after the visa processing once he gets our marriage registration document. Our marriage registration document was handed over to that friend on 16th of December 2004 itself but still nothing was known till 23rd December. Then my husband called up his friend to enquire about the status of the visa but he was informed that arrangements are going on and he is trying his level best. 

Whenever I used to call up my Guruji used to tell me that Krishna can do miracles. You just chant and Krishna would help you to get the visa. I had faith in the words of my Guruji. Instead I could proudly say that Guruji has given me a mind state which makes me believe HIS words. 

Till 28th December afternoon we were not aware about what is going to happen. But I was also not experiencing any sort of tension as I was aware that Guruji would manage all the things and bless me with what is necessary for me. 

In the evening my husband called up his friend and he informed that now the chances of getting visa are more strong and he asked for some more details. My husband gave him those details. My husband was asked to check his mail to know the progess. Accordingly after few hours my husband checked his mail and to our surprise he had received a mail from his friend with the scanned copy of my visa and the PNR number.

This is the mercy of my Guruji. HE id not allow me to pass through the phase of any tension but gave me a calm and relaxed mind state and feeded in me a faith that Krishna would give me visa. HE took every possible effort so that HIS shishyai can accompany her husband.

Our happiness knew no bounds when we came to know that we have got the visa. I informed my Guruji about the receipt of visa and HE was extremely happy. Then my ticket for Muscat was booked on 29th December 2004 and I could safely accompany my husband on 1st of January to Muscat.

The fact that I got my visa only due to the grace of my Guruji and Krishna namasankeertanam was more strongly and stubbornly realised by me only after I reached Muscat. This was so because everyone who saw me asked my husband how did we manage to get the visa within these 15-20 days gap, as in most  of the persons cases the minimum time required for the visa processing is at least one month. Even the friend who managed the processing work in the absence of my husband was also of the same opinion. 

Really I felt proud to be the shishyai of such a great, outsatanding, marvellous Guruji who made it possible for me. I could give HIM nothing in return for what HE had done for me except a whole-hearted namaskaram and tears of happiness.
