gokulkr Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Guru ( The Perceptor ) He who initiates the inquisitive disciple and imparts the knowledge of the doctrines of the Sampradaya is called the Guru. Without the Guru it is not possible either to have entrance into any Dharma-Sampradaya or to acquire the true knowledge of Dharma-Sampradaya. Hence, the Guru has got a very important place in Sampradaya. Says Sri Gusainji : Ajnana-timirandhasya, jnananjanashalakaya; Cakshrunmilitam yena, tasmai shrigurave namah. One who by using collyrium-stick of knowledge In the eyes blinded by darkness of ignorance; Opens and enlightens our eyes To that revered Guru we bow down. Meaning: We prostrate respectfully before the Guru who, by using the stick of collyrium of knowledge, opens and enlightens our eyes that have become blind by darkness of ignorance.
