TASMAI SHRI GURUVE NAMAH
GURU is a cosmic principle BRAHMAN or the origin of the universe which
embodies all the qualities of the three deities BRAHMA, VISHNU and
MAHESH representing three GUNAS viz. SATVA, RAJA and TAMA.
SATVA is nothing else but crystal clear conscience governed perceptions, feelings
and actions.RAJA is ego driven perceptions, feelings
and actionsand
TAMA means ignorance driven perceptions, feelings and actions.
GURU principle manifests through either human body, scriptures, through dreams
and even through various manifestations in the nature! The guru principle is said to
embody three deities or three gunas because a loving guru takes us beyond the
three gunas viz. SATVA, RAJA and TAMA
because guru takes us from the ignorance to knowledge.
