Sri Guru Vandhanam – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||








I shall meditate upon supreme Lord Vishnu who is attired in majestic white garments, he has the luster of Lord Chandhra, he has four hands, he is ever pleasing, and he is the destroyer of all kinds of obstacles. I shall meditate upon Maharishi Vedavyasa who is the great grandson of Sage Vashishta/Prapouthra, grandson of Sage Shakthi/Pouthra, son of Sage Parashara/Puthra and father of Shuka, he is the supreme ascetic. I shall prostrate before Supreme Lord Vishnu who is personified as Maharishi Vedavyasa and he is the essence of Lord Vishnu, he is the epitome of supreme Bhramam born in the superior clan of Sage Vashishta. I shall prostrate before Maharishi Vedavyasa who categorized the sacred Veda, he is the son of Sage Parashara, and he is the symbol of eternal bliss.  Lord Badarayana is considered as Lord Bhrama without four faces, Lord Vishnu with two hands, and Lord Shambhu with Phalalochana/third eye on forehead. I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who is the symbol of Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Maheshwara as well, he is supreme Bhramam.   I shall prostrate before the supreme Preceptor who makes the eyes of an ignorant sparkle with dark eye color/charcoal like supreme knowledge and wisdom.
