Fwd: Need to know the inner meaning of Poornimas

[Guest guest]

Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devoh Maheshwara.

 

The Meaning of Poornima

 

Guru Poornima is an occasion for cleansing the mind to make it

absolutely pure. We should purify our hearts to let the Divine live

in it. Guru Poornima signifies eliminating all darkness and evil

from our minds.

 

We must meditate upon the names of all those in the Guru Parampara

to obtain their grace. We should shed our ego at the lotus feet of

our Sadguru Sainath Maharaj and follow His teachings.

 

Guru the Creator

 

The Guru gives us a new birth in the world of knowledge and in the

world of the Self. He opens our eyes to knowledge and changes our

mental outlook, moulds it anew. Changing or giving another shape

means creating or giving another birth. Since the Guru creates the

birth of knowledge in us, he qualifies to be called Brahma, the

Creator.

 

Guru the Protector

 

Several good things keep happening to us, as if on their own,

without our knowledge, through the agency of our Guru. Suddenly, we

wonder about how they happened. How was our task accomplished? " We

will recognize in a flash that it was Guru Kripa, the compassion of

our Guru that made things happen in our favor. The Guru takes care

of us and removes all our difficulties in this world. His chief

function is to take care of our Atman. The Guru protects us by

giving us Upadesha and by showing us the path of Sadhana to foster

the Atman. Instead of finding bliss for Himself in Samadhi, He

sacrifices His happiness for our sake and does all He can to

liberate us from Samsara. Just like the spring brings blessings to

the world without expecting anything in return. In this way, the

Guru is like Vasanta (spring season), which brings benefits to the

world without any reason or motive. In this way, He is like Vishnu,

the protector.

 

Guru the Destructor

 

There are evil forces that constantly drag us down into the mire and

prevent us from obtaining the light of knowledge. The Guru battles

with them patiently and destroys them. When a crop is grown, the

weeds must be removed. Similarly, it is as important to remove our

intense ignorance as it is to give us knowledge, it is indeed more

difficult to destroy our ignorance than to impart Jnaana. The Guru

as Maheswara dispels the darkness of ignorance.

 

The definition of the word " Guru " itself is 'he who dispels

darkness'. Gu stands for darkness, Ru stands for dispelling.

 

Three three functions performed by the Guru encompass the functions

of creation, protection and destruction. In this way, our Guru

becomes Trimurthi.

 

The Guru takes us to the goal beyond which there is nothing. He

transforms us into the Parabrahman. He tells us that it is the

Parabrahman who has taken our guise ( " you are indeed the

Parabrahman " ). The Guru helps us to discard our guises and reveal

ourselves as the Parabrahman. So, the declaration is apt : " Guruh

Saakshaat Parambrahma " .

 

So Guru is like the Trimurti. A god who is the Trimurti conjoint is

Dattatreya who had brought the holy tradition of the Gurus (Guru

Parampara) to this mortal world. All Gurus are like Dattatreya like

Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara who create the body, nourish it, and

destroy it respectively. We may have to be born again and again but

the Guru will accompany us throughout and will not give up until we

are united with the Light (become ourselves the light). Truly,

therefore, it is said,

 

Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devoh Maheshwara

Guru Sakshat Parabrahmah Tasmai Shree Guru Veh Namah !

 

Baba Said....

 

" Meditate always on knowledge incarnate, consciousness and Bliss " .

 

Let us pray Shri Sai to give us the intellect and wisdom to make tomorrow's

world a happier place to stay by following his principle of “Shraddha” and

“Saburi”

 

Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying ‘Om Sai Ram’ to whom so

ever you meet.

 

OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of Bhagwan Baba who

is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and

increase our devotion towards him

 

Jai Sai Ram

Swamy Mahadevan

Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all

Baba Bless you ever!!!
