Celebrating Gurupurnima, bhajans and darshan
Guru Pūrṇimā reveals joy as the absence of fatigue. The Guru tattva stands supreme. A Satguru becomes Brahmaleen; while embodied, the Guru is with disciples, but upon leaving the body, the Guru dwells within. Modesty is essential—even with complete knowledge, one must not claim to be Parabrahma while in a body; the body is a walking temple with the divine residing inside. Every avatar, from Krishna to Rama to Jesus, endured immense hardship. Krishna faced birth-pains, exile, and a fatal arrow. Rama suffered banishment, Sita’s trial, and Lakshmana’s near-death. Jesus and his mother knew no ease. Such beings are witnesses; they do not feel sorrow, their ordeals are lila. Yet the world sees pain to teach that one must never abandon truth or dharma. If a seeker gives up the path, all spiritual practice is lost. Surrender to the Satguru removes worry. The past is gone, the future has not come; only the present calls for refuge. The Guru Mantra itself is yantra, tantra, mantra, leading to the Supreme.
“Where there is joy, there is no fatigue.”
“Raghukula rīti sadā chalāyī, prāṇa jāye para bachana na jāye.”
