Chapter – 11 – Sri Guru Gita –101 – 115
Lord Mahadeva speaks “I shall prostrate
before the preceptor who is Achyutha/unfailing, symbolizes nectar like the
ocean of mercy removes the darkness of ignorance is his disciple, like the
Surya removes the darkness with its brilliant rays. He inspires the disciple to strictly follow austerities, Sathyam, Shaucham, Dhaya, Shama, Dhama, vow, celibacy, Swadhyaya,
meditation and contemplation etc. and the performance of various righteous
deeds. I shall prostrate before the
preceptor who is the safest bridge/Sethu to cross the ocean of worldly
existence, to the people taken asylum at the lotus feet of the Guru, he is the destroyer
of false notions and anguish of the disciple and provide peace and serenity.
The recitation of verses praising Guru and worship at the lotus feet of Guru is
highly propitious, there is no superior hymn other than the Gurunama, there is
no superior deity to Guru, there is no relationship/Deivam, Pitha, Bandhava is superior
or equivalent to Guru. There is no safest shelter place other than the lotus
feet of the preceptor. Guru symbolizes Pranava, whoever disrespects Guru and
Pranava Manthra would take birth as a dog hundreds of times, further hurls
into Chandala Yoni. Whoever abandons Guru would push to the mouth of death, whoever
abandons the Gurumanthra would undergo sufferings of poverty, whoever abandons
the both would be pushed to the hell of ‘Raurava’. Guru is well capable to
protect the Jeeva from the wrath of Lord Shiva, but it is impossible in the reverse
situation, hence the disciple is responsible to follow the commands of the
preceptor sincerely. The Guru Manthra guides the Jeeva to safely cross the
ocean of worldly existence, it is Sidhdhamanthra which is worshiped by Bhrama,
deities, Munis, Sages, and Rishis. It removes the grief of sufferings of
poverty and Bhavaroga/sorrows of worldly existence. I shall prostrate before
the Gururaja Manthram which is highly propitious, removes the perplexities and anxieties,
Dharidhryadhukha, Mahabhaya, and Bhavaroga as well. There are seven crores of
hymns which could create perplexities in the Jeeva, the one and only kind of Gururaja
Manthra, and worship of Guru would remove the sufferings of the Jeeva.” Lord
Mahadeva looked at Devi Parvathi and began to speak “Oh! Parvathi, Oh! Devi,
listen to me carefully, the Gururaja Manthra is the only one that could provide
knowledge of Parama Thaththva/supreme philosophy. Oh! Devi, I have explained
the significance of the worship of Guru and selfless service at the lotus feet
of Guru, and Guru Thaththva as well. It is highly confidential hymns should not
be shared with wicked and deceitful people. Oh! Devi, I have explained the
highly propitious and truthful Gurugita, and there is no hymn superior in this
Universe other than Guru Gita. Oh! Devi, Gurugita should be shared with the
Jeeva who have achieved the nearness of the preceptor and received
Manthradheeshka, hence it should not be disclosed to those people who are afar
from the concept of Guru Thaththva or belief in Guru. It is a highly confidential
hymn that is not achievable to sinners, it is the piousness earned from
several births of the Jeeva that makes it possible to achieve the knowledge of Guru
Gita, Guru Thaththva, and nearness of Guru. I shall prostrate before the lotus
feet of the preceptor who imparts the knowledge of the all-pervasive supreme
Bhramam, resides as a soul in the Jeeva, and Athma is Paramathma, the Universe
and its living and non-living things are the essences of that supreme
Bhramam/Sarvam Bhramamayam, the Paramathma Parambhrmaam is indestructible
Purusha, and the destructible Prakrithi is inseparable Mayaswaroopini of that
Paramapurusha. The supreme Bhramam resides as a soul/Athman has neither birth
nor death, changeless, pure, unblemished, indestructible, and free from
afflictions. The preceptor imparts the knowledge of ‘I am that Paramathma,/Bhramam,
all that living and living things vested on the supreme Bhramam. The soul/Athman
is the single witness of infinite Nama Roopa Dhrishya in the Jagrathavastha/awakening
that has fleeting nature the same as in the Swapnavastha/dream. Oh! Prabho, I have
completely lost the serenity of mind, exhausted and worn-out due to the
interest in the toxic poison like worldly matters and bondage, body and I consciousness,
/Vishayavisha, Oh! Prabho, kindly shower the light of wisdom and instill peace
in me with your perpetual grace.”
