Gurupurnima Satsang and Celebration
Guru Pūrṇimā Eve and the Dvādaśa Jyotirliṅga: The Light of the Lineage
Today is the eve of Guru Pūrṇimā, a most auspicious day. The Dvādaśa Jyotirliṅgas descend from the sky for installation at Om Āśram. Such an opportunity comes rarely. The twelve Jyotirliṅgas grant fulfillment of wishes. The Guru principle is Gu, darkness, and Ru, light. The Guru leads from ignorance to wisdom. Value lies in knowledge, not the body. Knowledge must be given forward; half‑knowledge is dangerous. The Guru Paramparā originates from Śrī Alakhpurījī, the origin of yoga. Love and devotion are a fire expressing bhakti; bowing down seeks liberation. The Guru is one, eternal, pure, unchanging, beyond duality, the witness. Satsaṅg is the river flowing to the ocean of the Guru. Merging, the soul attains salvation. Practice Yoga in daily life and self‑inquiry to know Brahman. Words create enmity or save; listen to the saints’ bhajans. The light of God dwells in every heart. Witness this divine manifestation and receive the Guru’s grace.
“Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya. Lead us from darkness to light.”
“Sab Ghat Mera Saiya, Koi Ghat Khali Na Hai. In each and every heart, God is dwelling.”
