Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Jaya Guru Datta Sri Gurubhyo Namaha Preamble: Guru is now meditated upon in the form of charmed holy syllables viz. Gu-Ru and Sri Swamiji shows how they are assimilated through the path of our breathing Verse: Hamsabhyam parivrutta haardakamale shuddhe jagatkaaranam Vishvaakara maneka deha nilayam svacchanda maanandakam Sarvaakaara makhanda chidghana rasam purnam hyanantam shubham Pratyakshaakshara vigraham Guruvaram dhyaayet vibhum shaashvatam Sri Guru who is the cause of the Universe and who has the image of the Universe in Him and who wears several bodies,who works at will,who is blissful,is the incarnation of the Indivisible One.Embodiment of sublime knowledge and wisdom,integrated personality,infinite,auspicous,the very form of the di-syllabic word " Gu-Ru " ,and the eternal,is to be worshipped in the purified lotus of the heart with the revolution of the twin swans of HAMSA and SOHAM (i.e breathing in and out ). We all live through the process of inhaling and exhaling.Hamsa or the swan is the symbol of this breathing.One breath goes inside;but it doesn't come out as it goes in.It purifies blood in the region of the heart and undergoes self-change before it comes out.So the swan that goes in is different from the one that comes out and they are two.The swinging of the swans is the source of our life.It also purifies the lotus of our heart. (Dear friends,this is but only half of the verse but is enough to reflect on,hence the reason for stopping here for this week) Sri Guru Datta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
