[Guest guest]

                                                     Sree Gurubhyo Namaha

 

                                                    Jaya Guru Datta

 

 

Preamble: Swamiji does meditate upon Guru in order that His disciples may learn

and follow the good tradition of praying to Guru before beginning any good acts

as follows.He prays to the Primordial Male who originated this tradition for the

good of mankind.

 

                                        Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu

                                        Gurur Devo Maheswaraha

                                        Gurur Sakshat Param Brahma

                                        Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha 

 

 

Guru is Brahma (Lord of Creation),Guru is Vishnu (Lord of Preservation),Guru is

Maheshwar (Lord of Destruction).Guru is the incarnation of Parabrahman (the

Absolute).I salute such of my Guru.

Sri Datta Sadguru is the personification of the Trinity who had brought the Holy

tradition of the Guru to the human world.Thus He is the True Guru to any man.

 

All the true Gurus who descended in that tradition are also the variations of

Him and so they are the images of Brahma,Vishnu and Shiva.In effect Guru is

another name of Parabrahman and I bow down before such Datta Guru.

 

Preamble: The glory of the Guru tradition sang thus:

 

                                       Dattatreya Samarambham

                                       Nrusimhadika Madhyamam

                                       Sachchidananda paryantam

                                       Vande Guru paramparam

 

Beginning with Dattatreya,Nrusimha in the middle until

Sachchidananda,salutations unto the order of Sadgurus.Here,the phrase

Sachchidananda denotes Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamy who is the incarnation

of original Sri Datta Sadguru who had taken this birth  to uplift the people of

the day and to revive this sacred tradition.
