Sri Guru Gita – 10 April 2014 – Episode 109

Jaya Guru Datta. English summary:

Jaya Guru Datta.
Pingala Naga asked Lord Datta for the boon. The Lord’s grace flowed generously to Pingala Naga. Pingala Naga understood the principle of Lord Datta. He said, ”Lord, you are Siva, you are my only refuge. Please keep me in your belly and protect me”. Immediately, Datta Swamy turned into Lord Siva. He opened his mouth wide and asked Pingala Naga to enter it. Pingala Naga entered the Lord’s mouth. Wow, what a fortune. Lord Datta turned into a Siva Linga right there where there was a holy pond and an Amalaka (Indian gooseberry) tree. He blessed that those who worship this Siva Linga that has Pingala Naga in its belly will not have another birth.

Datta Guru blesses his disciples with supernatural powers. As the source of the Vedas himself, he generously blesses his disciples. The Lord’s invisible hand always protects his devotees. Hence, disciples should always have steadfast devotion and faith in the Guru. The disciple should behave in a way that endears him to the Guru. Only then will the Guru take on the disciple’s troubles and bless him generously.

Sloka:
Drgdrsya drstr rupaya nispanna nijarupine |
Aparayadvitiyaya sivaya gurave namah ||

Obeisance to Sadguru who sees, who is the object seen and who is also the sight itself, who always remains in his true state, who is boundless, matchless and none other than Siva himself.

Sloka:
Gunadharaya gunine gunavarjita rupine |
Janmine janma hinaya sivaya gurave namah ||

Obeisance to Guru who is Siva himself, who is the root of all attributes, who has attributes and yet is free from all of them, who takes birth yet remains free in the form of Atman (soul) i.e. free from cycle of births. The Guru is beyond birth and the cessation of the cycle of births. He is free from attributes and the termination of attributes. Births and deaths take place at his will.

Sloka:
Anadyayakhiladyaya mayine gata mayine |
Arupaya svarupaya sivaya gurave namah ||

Obeisance to Guru who is Siva, who has no beginning and who is the beginning of all, who is illusion himself and who has conquered illusion, who is formless but remains in the form of his true self.
