Guru Poornima Celebration

Guru Poornima was celebrated at “Kala Yoga” Headquarter of Sadhana Sangama Trust with great enthusiasm. Sadhakas participated in the function with fervor and enthusiasm in large numbers.

On the occasion, Guruji spoke briefly about the importance and significance of Guru Poornima and taught us a new method of meditation on Guru. He said Gurupoornima is an important day wherein all sadhakas meet and pledge their faith and belief in the Guru Tatva and seek the blessings of the Guru and the Guru Parampara on the auspicious day.

Adhi Guru is Shiva. Shiva means auspicious light. Shiva Swaroopa is in our breathing in the form of “Soham”. This soham becomes mantra when awareness follows this breathing. Then it takes the form of energy – Hamsa. We should try to focus and stay with that divine light – shiva swaroopa.

In the Himalayan Tradition, the Gurutatva started with Hiranya Garbha – Golden Womb supposed to be Brahma’s Manasa Putra. From there on the Guru lineage is continuing through Aadhi Sesha and Vyasa without any break and working in the entire universe. Pujya Swami Rama is the recent link in our Tradition. This Guru Tatva takes the form of Guru with a definite Mission on earth and works, by joining and uplifting sincere souls that are interest to uplift themselves..

It is much easier for us when the Guru energy takes form of a human being, to see, relate, talk, discuss and communicate and get connected with that energy. When the Guru is not limited by the human form becomes the Mantra, the Mantra, then becomes the Devatha and all the three – Guru, Mantra & Devatha become one.

The emotion that obstructs in relating with the Guru energy should be given up. This message of the Masters should be remembered and reinforced within us by all of us on the occasion of Guru Poornima. .

Our experiences in the Sadhana & Mantra should translate into Bhakthi. This Bhakthi should become Shakthi – Strength and this Strength should become the weapon for destroying all the obstacles in the path of Sadhana. For this to happen we should create proper environment that will facilitate the Guru Kripa to flow uninterruptedly. We should become the magnet attracting the Guru Tatwa and for that there should be a clear and sustained transformation in our nature, habit pattern and attitude.

Anybody can invoke Guru Kripa, provided one strives sincerely for it to happen.

Life is a procession, a parade. Ups and downs are part of life. We have to seek the grace of the Guru to give us strength to retain our individuality and not be affected by the ups and downs of life.

The celebration ended with puja and arati to Guru Swami Rama and after partaking of Prasadam.
