Significance of Honoring your 'GURU'
How precious to you is your true freedom?
To a freedom seeker sincerely dedicated to the pathway of self-realization, the answer will be ‘very very precious’.
So how precious to you is the one person that can lead you on the pathway to freedom?
Of course, the answer would be ‘extremely precious’. Certainly to the genuine seeker, the most precious gift of all gifts is the divine guidance of a True Guru.
Like the peeling of an onion, layer by layer the dry and useless layers of false illusions are peeled off so that the soft core of truth and freedom can be accessed. It is a process that only a true Guru can take you through successfully.
Now, would you like to express your love and gratitude to the one who leads you to freedom?
Indeed, YES
While everyday is an occasion to celebrate the bonding of a Guru and disciple, once a year comes a special opportunity for expressing gratitude and acknowledging all the compassionate giving of the Guru through all aspects of life. The full moon day mostly in the auspicious month of July a day is dedicated to honoring the “Guru”. This day is called “Guru Purima” meaning the ‘full moon day dedicated to the Guru, the dispeller of darkness’.
A Guru is a true representative; a physical embodiment of the Cosmic energies and honoring the Guru is symbolic of honoring the Cosmic energies for their divine blessings and guidance.
The universal Truth of honoring with gratitude and love holds true opens the seekers heart. “It is in giving that you will receive…” – the more openhearted you sincerely open your heart, the more you will receive.
The Guru’s love and energetic assistance is a treasure beyond measure. It is in appreciation of the divine love and sharing that a sincere Light seeker will truly enjoy the beautiful journey of divine bliss!
