Shri Guru Poornima

ॐ
SHREE GURU POORNIMA

Today was Shri Vyasa Poornima or Shri Guru Poornima , full moon day in the monthe of Ashada dedicated to Guru ..A Guru is not a teacher .. Guru is not a Lecturer .. A Guru is not a skill trainer .. Guru is not an instructor .. but anyone of these can be a Guru .. Guru is beyond all these .. The word Guru .. Gu is darkness .. Ru is annihilation .. Thus Guru is one who destroys darkness within .. the darkness of ignorance .. Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnuhu Guru Devo Maheshwarah .. Guru is a Creator Brahma , Protector Vishnu and destroyer Shiva .. Guruhu Saakshaat ParamBrahma . Guru is the Paramaatman , ParaBrahma .. the one who does not do anything .. but is the cause of everything .. Many other points came in todays Seminar organized for teachers of nearby schools ..
Guru Shishya relationship is based on Sneha and Bhakti .. Love and Devotion .. Love and affection in the hearts of Guru for the Shishya and Bhakti , devotion in the hearts of Shishya for the Guru ..
Guru is Unique because he has no reason to Love his Shishya , no blood relationship , no expectation in return .. yet he loves his Shishya deeply .. The Love is Nirapeksha .. nothing in return .. It is just Love ..
Guru gives everything he has to lift Shishya to his own level ..
Guru is one who never gets jealous but is filled with Joy when he sees his shishya reaching greater hights than himself ..
Upadesha is Upa - Desha .. Desha is to talk , to show .. Upa is a prefix which means ... 'near' One who sits near and talks .. The Guru is near the Shishya .. Hence , his character and conduct are visible to the Shishya ..
In the Gita , Shri Krishna expects three things from a Shishya .. Namaskar .. total humility ... PariPrashna .. Ask questions , seek clarifications .. and Sewa .. Serving the Guru ,
Three happenings in our school on Shri Guru Pooja day .. Children offered worship to Shri Veda Vyasa , Shri Adya Shankara and Shri Kanchi Acharyas ..in the morning .. Then the School Library was inaugurated , with a beautiful elaboration by Shri K V Balakrishnan .. a retd . State Bank Manager ..
Seminar in the evening On Guru .. Teachers in our school , teachers of nearby schools and parents of our school children participated .. Very good presentations , especially by Shri MuthuKrishnan of Renga Matriculation School , Shri Subrahmanian , the Vadhyar at Veda PathaShaalaa and Shrimati Yogambal , a mother .. For many children and even teachers , this was a "first time" experience of Shri Guru Poojan and Guru Poornima  In fact , today , that is the Full Moonday of Ashada Month or Shri Guru Poornima ought to have been declared as the Teachers' Day in Independent Bharat .. ..

Chapter X (19 - 42)

\ श्री भगवानुवाच - हन्त ते कथष्यामि दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतय : । प्राधान्यत : कुरुश्रेष्ठ नास्त्यन्तो विस्तरस्य मे ॥ १९ ॥ Shri Bhagawan said:   I shall speak to Thee now, Oh best of the Kurus! of My Divine attributes, according to their prominence;   there is no end to the particulars of My manifestation. (X - 19) Arjuna asks for a detailed and complete elaboration on His manifestations.   Shri Krishna replies He will be brief in description.   Why?   ‘My manifestations are infinite’, says Shri Krishna.   Shri Krishna is in human form.   The Infinite Paramaatman has bound Himself in a finite Form.   A finite can not fully describe an Infinite.   The same Shri Krishna in the next chapter says, “See My Infinite Forms.   See as much as you wish”, when Arjuna expresses his desire to see His one Form.   Brief in words and Elaborate in Form.;. The discussion in the last shlokam continues here.   The listener’s ahankara tries to fathom the speaker.   The listener, Arj

Chapter IV (1 - 20)

\   ADHYAAY IV   GYANA KARMA SANYASA YOGAM Introduction This chapter named ‘Gnyana Karma Sanyasa Yog’ is a special one, as this is where Shri Krishna reveals the secrets of Avatara to Arjuna. We, as human have a natural weakness.  When a great thought is placed before us, instead of analysing the thought, understanding it and trying to put it into practise, almost all of us start worshipping the person who revealed the thought.  Worship of the Cross and the idols of Buddha can be quoted as examples.  One of the reasons for this may be that we deem him to be the originator of the thought.  Truths are eternal and can only be revealed and not invented.  You ask any educated person about ahimsa or non-violence.  You should not be surprised if he instantly come up with the answer, “Gandhi”.  You try to clarify that ‘almost two thousand years ago Shri Mahaveer based his life and religion solely on the principle of Ahimsa’ and ‘hundreds of years prior to that the Vedas, the Gi
