Jaya Guru Datta. English summary:

Jaya Guru Datta.

Sloka:
Dussvapna nasini ceyam susvapna phaladayini |
Ripunam stambhini gita vacaspatya pradayini ||
This Guru Gita dispels the effect of bad dreams and bestows the results of good dreams (bring them to reality). Guru Gita destroys enemies and the practicant will be made as great as Brhaspati (the celestial Guru)
Here, “svapna” or dream indicates the ignorance that causes the cycle of birth and death. Ignorance is the real sleep. Because it increases bondage, it is a bad dream. If the birth brings us the grace of the Sadguru, it is a good dream. Enemies here are the 6 vices, i.e., kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (attachment), mada (pride), matsaryam (jealousy).
“Vacaspatya pradiyini” is one that bestows the state of Brahma.

Sloka:
Kaminam kamadhenusca sarvamangala karini |
Cintamaniscintitasya sloke sloke ca siddhida ||

The Guru Gita is the wish-granting cow (Kamadhenu) for those who desire. It is Chintamani (the gem that dispels all sorrows and afflictions) and it bestows all auspicious things. Each verse provides a fulfillment.

It even gives you worldly fulfillments. Due to this, seekers will attract the people around them. Seekers with devotion will experience positive results. In any case, the Guru Gita confers more spiritual benefits than anything else. Liberation is the primary benefit. Here, there is another meaning too in referring to Kamadhenu and Chintamani. If a practicant suddenly starts hankering after supernatural powers (siddhis) due to which he falls from his yogic state, studying the Guru Gita will give him the Guru’s guidance for upliftment. The Guru will not let go of such a disciple, he will not let him fall from yogic state. His initial desire for self-realization will eventually come to fruition.

Sloka:
Moksakamo japennityam moksa sriya mavampnuyat |
Putrakamo labhet putran sri kamascamitam sriyam ||
If one desires redemption and chants this daily, he will attain Moksha Lakshmi (the wealth of redemption). If the chanting is for male progeny, one will beget several sons, and similarly, if it is for riches, he will gain abundant riches.

Sloka:
Trivara pathanatsadyah karagaradvimucyate |
Nitya pathat bhavecca stri putrini subhaga ciram ||
If chanted thrice, one who is in jail will be released at once. If a woman chants it daily, she would beget children and lead an auspicious, long life along with her husband and children.

There is an instance of evidence for this sloka in Swamiji’s life history. It is unforgettable. An innocent man was once given life sentence in Delhi. His relatives came to Swamiji and prayed for help. Swamiji picked 5 verses from Guru Gita with instructions that the person should chant them daily. The prisoner chanted these verses for one month. The case unexpectedly was reopened. The prisoner continued chanting. The court proceedings went on for 6 months. Eventually the court dismissed the case. The man who was sentenced to life in prison was released from jail within one year. This is live evidence. What’s described in this verse is absolutely the truth.

Jaya Guru Datta. Sri Guru Datta.
