Preamble: For those who can't meditate upon Guru in that highest method,Sri

Swamiji is initiating them for worshipping Guru in his physical body.

 

Prata shirasi shuklabje dvinetram dvibhujam Gurum

Varaabhayakaram shantam smarettan-nama purvakam

Prasanna vadanaam-bhojanam sarvadeva svarupinam

Tatpaadoda-kajaam dhaaraam nipatantim svamurdhani

Tayaa sanksaalayed-baahya maantaram daihikam malam

Tat ksanaa dvirajo martyo jaayate sphatikoo-pamaha

 

Everyday in the morning soon after one wakes up,one should imagine

a white thousand-petalled lotus on top of his head and meditate upon it.

Your Guru should be imagined to be seated on that lotus.

 

You have to see through your mind's eye--His eyes,hands and the

reassuring gestures of his hands,with a peaceful face.

You will gradually understand the inherent meaning in imagining

Guru in such a way.
