Guru Poornima was celebrated at “Sadhana Dhama” with great enthusiasm. Sadhakas reached Ashram & participated in the function with fervor and enthusiasm in large numbers.
This time the message from Guru Parampara was “DON’T LEAVE ANY STONE UNTURNED” for Gurupoornima. Emphasizing on this point, Guruji narrated following incident from his life:
Once, when our beloved Gurudev was in a Divine motherly mood, told me “Bete, whenever you are in a crisis, you contact me by meditating on Guru Chakra. I am there to pull you out of the crisis”. I was very happy and fell into the habit of contacting and troubling Gurudev for each and every silly problem and thus tending to become a parasite! Gurudev tolerated for a length of time.
I was in Dhronagiri, for a special Anustana, as per Gurudev’s instruction and one early morning I tried to contact Baba for a trivial problem. He appeared before me like enraged Rudra and shouted, “Bete, Nature has blessed all, with the faculties like intellect, body, skill etc to deal with all the problems and Guru parampara has invested a lot on every disciple to create a vibrant life not only for oneself but for everyone around. Here after don’t look up to Guruchakra; exhaust all potentialities, exert every effort completely and then surrender to Guruchakra. Don’t leave any stone unturned! With this warning he disappeared abruptly in great anger. From that moment, I gave up this habit. This has enabled me to assess myself, discover the variegated potential skills to handle both inside and outside world and has provided to take charge of my life completely, become responsible for every action of mine and the insight to touch the intuitive plane of reality. This has led me to be self-reliant, self-sufficient and self contented.
This was a message for every Sadhaka in the path to discover his/her inner potential to reach the “fullness” of life and attain Blissful living.
The day started with Group Meditation followed by Rudrabhishekha and Meditation in Cave. After that Guruji & Jyothi Ma initiated Lalitha Sahasranama Kumkumaarchana and all the sadhakas who were willing were asked to recite Lalitha Sahasranama with Kumkuma Archana.
After completion of Lalitha Sahasranama, Guruji & Jyothi Ma started Guru Paaduka Homa wherein salutations to Guru was done and all the Sadhakas together performed the Homa.
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 this auspicious day
