Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Jaya Guru Datta!!! Dear Sriram and all Devotees, You have asked me a very good question. I have done this Puja a couple of times. Guru Parampara means Your three Gurus, called GURU TRAYAM.(Lineage) In our Datta tradition we start with Sri Ganeshayenamah, Sri Saraswathayenamah, etc. Once you get Mantra from Guru you need to chant GURU TRAYAM. Lots of our devotees got Maha Mantra from our Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji. Ekanta(personal initiation), Samohika(mass initiation), including myself. So many traditions following different Gurus. Wherever they got Mnatra they have to chant GURU TRAYAM. Sri Swamiji explained in Baton Rouge about our GURU TRAYAM. Whoever got Mantra from our Guru they must chant our GURU TRAYAM. GURU TRAYAM 1. PARAMA GURU : SRI SRI SRI GANAPATHI SACHCHIDANANDA SWAMIJI 2. PARATPARA GURU : SRILASRIM JAYALAKSHMIMATA 3. PARAMESTHI GURU : DRAM DATTATREYA SWAMI This is the GURU PARAMPARA as Sri Swamiji explained. When you do Guru Parampara Puja you must chant these three names and do the three different Pujas. I want to explain how to do Japa properly. When you start , first you must do Achamana, Pranayama and Sankalpam. Then you have to put your hands on your Sahasrara chakra in a certain way. With each hand you must join your thumb with your 2nd and 3rd fingers(Angustha ,Madhyama ,Anamika) extending your index and small fingers upward. Bring these two hands together at the point of the thumbs on top of the Sahasrara chakra. (Top of head) Remember to leave the small and index fingers pointing up. Then you chant GURU TRAYAM names. The following is the chanting that must be done.............. 1. Mama Sahasrara Chakre Asmat Parama Guru Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swami Padukam 2. Mama Sahasrara Chakre Asmat Paratpara Guru SrilaSrim Jayalakshmimatrupadukam 3. Mama Sahasrara Chakre Asmat Paramesthi Guru Dram DattatreyaPadukam Avahayami Then start Maha Mantra. During Japam These three Gurus are controling your energy from Sahasrara chakra throughout your body. Mainly Shat Chakras. Sometimes with these Mantras energy we are not able to control the energy and so Guru will control. That is the reason why we have to sit somewhere and concentrate on Swamiji Paduka, Swamiji's Picture, Deepam or any God in your BHRUMADHYA. (Point between eyebrows.) This matter I have explained very briefly. There is not enough time now to explain fully. This is the way that I am doing Japam. I have explained this method to some of our devotees. Finally, if you Chant with Swamiji in your heart there is no need for anything except what Mantra you want to chant. Swamiji's blessing will always be with us. HAPPY SRI TARANA NAMA YEAR (UGADI) SUBHAKANKSHALU (WISHES) I hope to see everyone during Sri Swamiji's visit to Baton Rouge, NPS Sankaramanchi Temple Chief Priest Datta Kshetram Baton Rouge,LA Sri Guru Datta!!!
