The blessings of a sathguru

JAY SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA

JAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANG

A very happy, lighted, colourful and noiseless deepavali to all our readers.

Enjoy this deepavali in a manner different from the usual one. Let us Chant the name of Radhekrishna and surrender to the lotus feet of Gurujiamma and Mahan Brahmashree Gopalavallidasar and realize, the true meaning of the precious human life.

Let us, in this article see know that why is it propagated by Hinduism that the Shishyas (devotees) should surrender to the feet of a Sathguru and offer pranams at their feet.

The blessing of a Sathguru brings true wisdom in the mind of the Shishya. True wisdom is not something which can be obtained by reading hundreds and hundreds of books. The word 'wisdom' here is to be construed in a very different manner in the context. Here wisdom does not mean obtaining degrees like LLB, CA, MBA, MBBS etc. Nor does wisdom mean earning a lot of money.

The word wisdom is to be taken on an 'intellectual platform'. In today's world, we are dumping our mind with the dead facts as imposed by others. Wisdom here means striving towards the realization of the self which is different from the human body. The self realization of the immense positive energy that can be attained through chanting is to be attained.

The Sathguru shows the right path of salvation to the Shishya. He tells the Shishya about the do's and don'ts that a Shishya has to follow. Because Sathguru knows the mind of the Shishya. He knows how the Shishya thinks. So the Sathguru moulds the mind of the Shishya accordingly.

The true realization is that–we are provided with immense positive energy. But it is not seen in each and every human being because the quantum of negative energies as a proportion of positive energies is high. So one can realize the true effect of positive energy within us when the effect of negative energies is annulled. This can be done by constant chanting of Radhekrishna Namajapam. This is not an overstatement. It’s a fact.

Anyone can actually try this out. Even if one merely chants for even five minutes, one can easily feel the difference, the sanctity. If one by conscious effort tries to control the mind from not thinking about anything, then that gives tremendous relief and energy. By itself its very difficult to do but its certainly possible through chanting. When the positive energy emanates from the body of a person, then the radiance can be easily seen and identified.

The glow on the face of such a person is called as 'Tejas' (divinity). All these things are next to impossible without the help of a Sathguru. He is the one who has the capability to guide the Shishyas to attain such heights. The 'Tejas' found in the face of a Shishya is actually given by the Sathguru. The Shishya attains glory and fame with the power of that 'Tejas'. The Sathguru calmly observes it. The Shishya can achieve all this only with the blessings of the Sathguru.

We the members of Radhekrishna Sathsangam are fortunate to have our Sathguru Poojyashree Shree Amma and Mahan Brahmashree Gopalavallidasar to guide us in this journey called 'life'. Let us wholeheartedly surrender onto their feet and get their blessings. With their blessings, there is nothing else to be attained.
