Guru Tattva, Wellington, NZ
The Guru Tattva is the light beyond the physical form.
It functions as Brahmā, creating good thoughts; as Viṣṇu, protecting; as Maheśvara, destroying negativity.
That tattva is Parabrahma itself, not the embodied guru.
The physical guru is like a box containing a precious diamond—value lies in the light within.
That light is pure knowledge, divine bliss, the inner witness, beyond the three guṇas.
It sees everywhere, ever aware, omnipresent.
Śrī Devpurījī awakened Mahāprabhujī, showing a ray of that cosmic light.
The heart, previously bound by illusion, glimpsed the reflection of Brahman like a moon in calm water.
That sight brought supreme bliss and radiance, merging the disciple’s gaze with the guru’s light.
Through upadeśa, Iḍā and Piṅgalā nāḍīs united, meditation settled at the tenth door.
The resonance of So’ham resounded, revealing a city of nothingness, an unmovable flame.
There, the fullness of Brahman alone shone, indescribable, without support.
This is the ultimate Guru Tattva, the supreme shelter we seek.
We pray for that shelter of Brahman.
Practice and purification remove the dust of karmas.
Keep the light; do not lose it.
Through sādhanā, the curtain of ignorance falls.
That light alone is eternal and one.
"Gurur Sākṣāt Param Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ."
"Cetan kā chilakā svāmī ne dikhāyā diyā."
