Mansik Puja to Vishwaguruji
A guided meditation and puja for a guru's birthday.
"Today, on the beautiful occasion of Gurudeva’s birthday... we might physically not be able to be with Gurudeva... but mentally we all can, with our heart, with our devotion, with our full being."
"As a guru, Gurudev cannot fix himself. That is going against the laws. Gurudev can fix all of us, heal all of us. But our prayers and our love are the only things that can give him the strength."
A speaker guides viewers through a detailed mental worship (Mānasik Pūjā) for Gurudeva's birthday. Participants are led to visualize the guru, perform paduka puja, light a lamp, offer āratī, flowers, and prostrations, and finally offer food. The meditation concludes with expressions of gratitude and prayers for the guru's health, the disciples' spiritual progress, and universal peace.
