Sri Guru Gita – Sri Skandhapuranam Uththarakhanda Umamaheshwara Samvadham – Preceptor is none other than Lord Shiva

 



Chapter - 2 – Sri Guru Gita – 11 – 20

 

Devi Parvathi speaks “Oh! Devadevesha, Oh! Parathpara, Oh! Jagathguro, Oh! Pranavaswaroopa, who is always surrounded and worshiped by the Sura and Asura, I shall reverentially prostrate before you. Oh! Bhagavan, you are worshiped by the Bhrama, Vishnu, Mahendra, and deities, Oh! Bhagavan, who do you worship? Who is most venerable other than you? Oh! Prabho, I am so confused watching your practices and disciplines, I do not know the reason for it, hence kindly shower your mercy upon me, and describe the reason for the same. Oh! Bhagavan, Oh! Sarvadharmajja/knower of all the Dharma, Oh! Vrathanayaka who symbolizes austerities and Tapasya, Oh! Shambho, kindly describe the Gurumahathmya/significance of preceptor, which is highly propitious. Oh! Swamin, how did the Jeeva achieve the Bhrama Thaththvam/the knowledge of Athman/Paramathma /indestructible Purusha, and the destructible Prakrithi, and how did achieve union with the Bhrmam? Kindly impart the supreme knowledge of Bhramam, I shall repeatedly prostrate before your lotus feet.” Thus, Goddess Parvathi gracefully appealed to Lord Mahadeva, who was extremely happy listening to Devi Parvathi and began to speak.

 

Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Devi, the knowledge of Bhramaththvam is highly confidential and it has been undisclosed always, it was not shared or taught to anyone before, I am pleased with your devotion, therefore I shall describe the splendor of Guru Mahathmya to you. Oh! Devi, you are an inseparable part of mine, hence I shall share the supreme knowledge with you. You have asked a brilliant question that provides welfare to the worlds/Lokoparaka, that was not asked previously by none. Oh! Devi, I shall remind you, the Mahathma/noble souls who have firm faith and devotion towards the deities, and preceptor would understand the highly confidential Bhrama Thaththva and Guru Mahathmya. Oh! Devi, Guru is Shiva/auspicious, the noble and auspicious souls are considered as a preceptor. Therefore, Guru is not different from Lord Shiva, Guru is Shiva, the person who has disbelief about the very idea would become a grave sinner, who had approached the wife of Gurupathni/wife of the preceptor to satiate bodily pleasure.”
