Santh Jnaneshwar : The piligrimage with Santh Namdev

Image
Om Shree Sainathaya Namaha! Who can describe the grandeur and glory of the Sadguru? It is easier to cover the entire sky with a cloth cover or measure the depth of the seven seas. In that case, how can a dullard like me sing the glory of the Sadguru? What is the way for me? However realizing that the Sadguru alone is the doer and he alone can help me sing his glory. Therefore I place my ego before his lotus feet and beseech him to help me sing his glory. The galaxy of saints continued on with their piligrimage from Mewar. Nivritthinath,Jnaneshwar,Sopan,Muktabai, Namadeva and other manifestations of infinite brahman were moving to Northern India which was under harsh foreign rule and was an extremely hostile territory. However the saints continued on, singing the glory of Lord Vitthala and Mother Rukmini. When they reached Ayodhya, the wicked Muslim king heard of a large retinue coming to his kingdom and suspected it to be the enemies from the south. He sent his soldiers to investigate

Om Jai Sai Ram! Blessed is he who has the devotion towards a Sadguru. Sadguru alone is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. He who knows this, his happiness is guarenteed. Different people have different ishta daivata (Favorite god). It may be Shambo Shankara (Lord Shiva), Lord Vishnu, Lord Rama, Jesus Christ or Allah. Once they reach the feet of the guru, the Guru becomes that god to them. They realize that this universe is verily nothing but their Ishta daivata. And this ishta daivata is none other than their Sadguru.I am a mere dullard and it is hard for me to explain these concepts, let alone understand them. I therefore submit my ego at the lotus feet of the sadguru and beseech him to help me sing his glory! Megha was a stuach devotee of Lord Shiva. By his merits in various lives and his service to Lord Shiva, he came to Shirdi. Once he had the darshan (Vision) of Sainath he realized that Sai and Lord Shiva are one and the same. Sai became his Shiva. Everyday Megha would walk a long di

Shambo Shankara Hara Hara Mahadeva!

When the universe was filled with fumes from the deadly poison Kola Hala You saved the entire creation, by drinking the poison all alone When demons like Ravana and Kumbakarna threatened life on earth You saved earth by taking the incarnation of Lord Hanuman When the heterodox faiths of the atheists and the agnostics threatened Sanathana Dharma You took birth as the monk Adi Shankara and spread the true faith of advaiatha and wrought revival of our dharma When the Yavanas came to Bharata varsha and threatened this country You came as Shree Chidambara Dixit and provided succor to the people When bigotry and caste overtook more importance than advaita You brought forth your true teachings through the nine nathas When the hindus and the yavanas were squabbling , You came as Samartha sadguru Sainatha and taught all that "God is one" I bow before Neelakantha (One with blue throat) and beseech him to rid me of my 6 enemies and help me reach his realm. Hara Hara

Om namaha Shivaya!

Om Shree Sainathaya Namaha ! Blessed is he, in whom the Sadguru has infused devotion towards the supreme. For this is what the Sadguru /god wants. Though god is beyond name and form he takes form for the sake of his devotees. Though god is unattached, he is attached to the devotion of his devotees and craves for the same. I am a mere dullard, who neither knows nor understands completely the concept of surrender and devotion to the Sadguru , much less write about it. I however surrender my ego to the Sadguru , and beseech him to guide me like a mother guides a child and help me sing his glory and the most beloved characteristic of a devotee, which is devotion! By the Sadguru's grace, I will describe the life of a a great Shaiva (Devotee of Lord Shiva) saint called Kannappa Nayanar . The story is so powerful, it can infuse devotion into a person with the heart of stone. I pray to Lord Shambu Shankara whose incarnation is the Sadguru , to help me sing his glory and that of o

Om Jai Sai Ram! Om Shree Swami Samarh ! One must have firm faith in his sadguru . By fully surrendering one's mind,body and actions to the Sadguru ,one can sail smoothly in the ocean called samsara (life), which is full of tornadoes and hurricanes and reach the destination, viz union with brahman . As long as we have the "I" or ego, it is indeed hard for us to cross this ocean of Samsara . I therefore submit my ego to my Sadguru , and pray to his lotus feet, to help me sing his glory, which has no beginning and no end. All the scriptures of all the religions world over are not sufficient to describe his splendor and glory and fully describe him. I bow humbly to the lotus feet of Shree Gurudeva Dattatreya , and pray to him, who has looked after my like a mother to guide me. He alone is mother,father,friend, brother. He is all in all. He has infinite compassion and love for his devotees like a mother caring for her child ( Bhaktha vatsalya ). Oh Sadguru , please h
