Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 || Om Namah Shivaaya || Dear list, Namaskar, Here are to shlokas very similar to each other: A0A0M,M09M.> A0A0M5?8M#A A0A0M&G5K ..9G6M50d A0A0G5 *0,M09M. $8M.H 6M0@A05G (.e gururbrahmgururvisGu gururdevo mahe[vara% | gurureva paraA brahma tasmai [r+gurave nama% || A0A0M,M09M.> A0A0M5?8M#A A0A0M&G5K ..9G6M50d A0A8M7>$M *0,M09M. $8M.H 6M0@A05G (.e gururbrahmgururvisGu gururdevo mahe[vara% | guru% sakct parabrahma tasmai [r+gurave nama% || I think the first one is part of the Guru Vandana for the Vaishnava Parampara of Jagannath. The second one seems more popular. The meaning doesn't change drastically in either case (Eva - verily, truly, indeed; sAkshAt - visibly), but I was just wondering whether both are acceptable, or whether they have different? Finally, if one doesn't have a Guru, then is "Om Krsna Guru" the appropriate mantra that can be used instead of a Guru mantra? Thank you, With reverence to the Gurus, Samir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
