Guru 5 - I Worship My Teacher Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Guru 5 - I Worship My Teacher
I Pray to the Trinity -
Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshvara,
The Gods representing
Creation, Sustenance, Destruction.
But Above All,
I Pray to my Guru-
My visible Teacher of this life,
Who bestows and blesses me with
The sublime knowledge of
The Eternal Truth;
And guides me through
A path of perfection.
Based on the Original Sloka in Sanskrit
A translation & Interpretation.
"Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu
Gurur Devo Maheshvara,
Gurur Sakshaat Parabrahmah
Tasmai Sri Gurave Namah."
" Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu Gurur Devo Maheshvara, Gurur Sakshaat Parabrahmah Tasmai Sri Gurave Namah." ......i prefer this sloka from sanskrit. This prayer is sung by the students in school or in ashram ever. Thank you dear Dr. Geeta madam for sharing this gem.
All spiritual and worldly knowledge is there to be attained but how to go about it. This is where the most important role of a true Guru comes to fore- even before 'Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshvara, The Gods representing... Creation, Sustenance, Destruction'. Thank yu, Geeta ji, for this perfect translation of Sanskrit Shloka seeking worship of Guru before anybody else.
