The wish with which the yogi recites guru gita

He surely gains by it, brings luck, destroy fears.

Shiva says to Parvathi… recitation of guru gita benefits. His wishes are fulfilled, it brings luck and destroy all fears.

Meditation surely benefit everybody. The thoughts and mind system begins to behave in control. Soon his wild imaginations are settling and become divine. By it one began to connect to the Lord with in. Progressively the blessed get a guru and start a new life itself. 

It is devotion and pure attitude that grand the rewards. The pure the yogi at a higher level he works. The director God is so great. He gives yogi all he wanted, then slowly he forgot him. Thanklessly the yogi, forget the niyamas, and disobey and work for own personal gain. 

Like Ravana,an unusual human at the peak of fame, having all the blessings of a King and having valorous warriors, he lost to a human Rama. Even though with an army of monkeys, Rama being virtuous,was able to defeat Ravana. Rama, worshiped and considered as Lord himself.

 It is blessing to read epics like Ramayana. It is more blessed to have a guru, even reading guru gita ensures Lord Shiva himself to you.

Guru gita calms all passions severed all bondages 

Treasure of self knowledge Guru gita is such a text.

Shiva tells to Parvathi… recitation of guru gita enables the yogi to control his passion, severe all bondages. It helps to open up the chest of self knowledge to the yogi. 

Many seekers begins to spread their knowledge like me even at the childhood level of spiritual quest. Actually we should use the time more for meditation and sadsang or with sadguru. Due to our limited spirit or aspirations we are laging in our chase. 

As in the Devi Sapthashati/ Devimahathmyam, sage Gemini meet Sage Markandeya to clear some doubts regarding their doubts in Mahabharatha. The sage being busy with his rituals, practice direct them to some birds who can answer their doubts. 

Of course there should be some birds like us to encourage the zestful aspirants in the spiritual path. At the same time we should also take an effort to evolve in divine stories as satsang and elevate our self to divinity.

Guru gita accomplish the impossible

Bad effects of planets are rectified

All sorrows may vanish soon

Good dreams begins to happen.

Shiva telling to Parvathi… reciting Guru gita, make possible the impossible tasks. All evil effects of bad planet position are removed. All sorrows are cleared, pleasant dreams instead of horrible dream.

Once Yogananda as a boy met Bahaduri Mahasaya, a yogi who can levitate in the air with his yogic power. With the saint I sat for meditation for one hour. "You go often into silence, but have you developed anubhavam ?"

 "Do not mistake the technique for the goal." People are more fond on jala yoga, than of Dhyana yoga.

One great sanyasi refused to receive Niranja because she was a woman. She said " Tell the master that I don't know there was any male in the universe save God. We all are females before him."

Find the divine, search for him, devotionally you can find him.

Guru gita help to silent enemy it increases the yogis values

All evil effects on yogi fails succeed in all good ventures.

Shiva says… Guru gita recitation help the yogi to silent his enemies, increase own sadhana/practice. It destroy effects of evil powers, and helps in all good ventures. 

Yoganada meet the "Tiger Swamy". The swamy began to tell his story. "My earliest ambition was to fight tigers. My will was mighty, but my body was feeble." 

An ejaculation of surprise broke from me. It appeared that this incredible man with Atlantean shoulders could ever have known weakness.

"I decided not only to fight tigers but to display my skills. As my fame reached a zenith, it brought intoxication of pride."

"One evening my father entered my room in a passive mood gave a word of warning passed by a saint that your next fight will be of deathly sickness for six months." 

In India a child does not lightly disobey his parent's wishes.

I was invited by the prince of Cooch Besar. "I challenge you to fight my newly caught tiger, Raja Begum. If you successfully resist him, bind him with a chain, and leave his cage in a conscious state, I will gift you well. If you refuse I shall blazon your name in public." 

Read the real story in its finest awesome in AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI. 

" I fulfilled all the challenges. For six months I lay near death from blood poisoning."

I have changed, on return from Cooch Bihar, I confessed to my father, I wish to meet the saint who warned me. 

The next day the saint came and told " Enough of tiger taming, come with me, I shall teach you to subdue the beasts of ignorance roaming in jungles of the human mind. You are used to an audience, let it be a galaxy of angels, entertained by your thrilling mastery of Yoga."

" I was initiated by my saintly guru. He opened my soul-doors, rusty and resistant with long disuse. Hand in hand, we soon set out for my training in the Himalayas."

All are attached to reciter, It free bondages and liberate

All gods will favour him kings too favoured by gurugita

Shiva says, those who recite guru gita manthra daily, will be favoured by kings and gods. By that he will be liberated and freed from all bandages.

Some yogis display unusual powers. They are termed as the misusers of God's blessings. The Persian mystic, Abu Said, once laughed at certain fakirs who were proud of their miraculous powers over the panchabhutas (earth water air fire and sky). You float in water after years of thapasya, you can use a boat for the same purposes. Gaining such miraculous powers won't give you God realisation.

Yogananda says " Neither the impartial sage at Kalighat Temple nor the Tibetan trained yogi had satisfied my yearning for a guru. My heart needed no tutor for its recognitions, and cried it's own "Bravos!" the more resoundingly because I often summoned from silence. WhenI finally met my master, he taught me by sublimity of example alone the measure of a true man."

So search for a true guru, you will be trained to become a true soul, a god realised.

Deadly diseases are cured and skills develops in yogi

By guru gita recitation itself it enchant and attract by itself.

Shiva says to Parvathi… by recitation of guru gita daily, all dreadful diseases are cured, it gives the strength to enchantment and attraction ( vasya and aakarshana), spontaneously.

*Why do we need a Master?*

Once upon a time, a cow went out to graze in the jungle. Suddenly, she noticed a tiger racing towards her. She turned and fled, fearing that at any moment the tiger would sink his claws into her. The cow desperately looked for someplace to escape and at last, saw a shallow pond. Barely evading the tiger’s reach, she jumped into the pond, and in the heat of the chase, the tiger blindly leaped after her.

To the surprise of them both, the pond was extremely shallow yet filled with deep recesses of mud. After toppling over each other, the cow and the tiger found themselves a short distance apart, stuck in the mud up to their necks. Both had their heads above water but were unable to free themselves no matter how much they writhed.

The tiger repeatedly snarled at the cow and roared, “I am going to enjoy the sound of crunching your bones between my teeth!”

He thrashed about in fury but soon became fretful as he found no prospect of escape.

The cow thoughtfully laughed as the tiger struggled to free himself and asked him, “Do you have a master?”

The tiger disdainfully replied, “I am the king of the jungle. Why do you ask me if I have a master? I myself am the master!”

The cow said, “You may be the king of the jungle, but here all your power has failed to save your life.”

“And what about you?” Retorted the tiger. “You are going to die here in this mud too!”’

The cow smiled mildly and said, “No, I am not.”

“If even I, the king of the jungle cannot free myself from this mud”, snapped the tiger, “Then how can you, an ordinary cow?”

The cow gently replied, “I cannot free myself from this mud, but my master can. When the sun sets and he finds me absent at home, he will come looking for me. Once he finds me, he will raise me up and escort me home sweet home.”

The tiger fell silent and coldly glared at the cow.

Soon enough, the sunset and the cow’s master arrived. He immediately recognized the plight she was in and lifted her to safety. As they walked home, the cow and the master both felt renewed gratitude for one another and pitied the tiger they both would have been happy to save if only the tiger had allowed them.

*The cow represents a surrendered heart, the tiger represents an egoistic mind, and the master represents the Guru.  The mud represents the world, and the chase represents the struggle for existence therein.*

*Its good to be independent and not rely on anyone. But don't take it to an extreme, you always need a partner/coach/mentor who will be always on the lookout for you.**

*Especially for one's sādhanā & spiritual progress.*

*Having them does not mean you are weak, it's just that you can be stronger with their help.*

All troubles, cancer, consumption,

diseases are cured by Guru Gita

Merit that gained at the feet of guru

Same merit is gained by reading it.

Shiva continues to Parvathy… merits that of service to guru feet, the same benefits are gained by devotional recitation of Guru Gita. All troubles and diseases are destroyed.

A sadguru take care of the future of his disciple. The Story of a Mystic Amulet, given in the AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI is an example. Mukunda as a small baby, was taken to Lahiri Mahasaya. Guru Mahasaya called the mother and predicted that the child will become a yogi. Saying this he blessed the boy. Let us hear further in Mukunda's own words about the Amulet. "My mother's greatest desire was the marriage of my elder brother Ananta. I was eleven years at the time of Ananta's bettrothal at Calcutta. Father and I remained in Bareilly. We were planning to join the family at Calcutta in time. I was awakened by a peculiar fluttering over the bed. I saw the beloved form of my mother"  saying " Awaken your father, Rush to Calcutta if you would see me." The figure vanished. By the time Message reached " Mother dangerously ill, come at once."

Father and I returned to Bareilly soon after the crematory rites. Fourteen months after Mother's passing, one evening Ananta summoned me to his side and narrated what their mother told him. One day a strange sage came to their home at Lahore to see the mother of Mukunda. Mother, he said, the great masters wish you know that your life will not long after the next illness. You are to be the custodian of a silver amulet, which will materialize in your hands tomorrow when you are meditating. On your deathbed you must instruct your eldest son Ananta, to keep the armlet for one year and then hand it over to Mukunda."  And handed over the amulet covered with Sanskrit characters.

A blaze of illumination came over me with the possession of the amulet; many dormant memories awakened,, it came from the teachers of past lives, who were invisibly guiding my steps."

Oh Devi it destroys all sins brings many benefits too
Therefore do recite gurugita it destroys all povereties

Shiva continue to Devi Parvathy… Guru Gita recitation destroy all sins. It brings many fortune. Recite guru gita, it brings all eight prospects in life.

Prayer is a divine and strong machine that works to full fill your wishes.
Mukunda Lal Ghosh later Paramhansa Yogananda, was son of Bhagavathi Charan Ghosh, Officer in Bangal- Nagpur Railway. One day one of Bhagavathi's subordinate; Abhinash's request for leave for visiting his master Lahari Mahasya; was rejected.  The day Bhagavathi with his wife was nearing a garden, Abhinash was prayfuly accompanying them. Suddenly Lahri Mahasya appeared before him exclaiming "Bhagavathi, you are too hard on your employee."  The stunt officer said: " Abhinash, not only I give you leave, but I myself with wife will come with you to meet this Lahiri Mahasaya, who materialized before us to initiate us in his spiritual path".
"The Master's blessings never fails" and Mukunda a great yogi's birth happens.

Guru gita avert untimely death, all fears are destroyed

It drives away Yakshas, demons, ghosts, thieves and beasts.

Shiva says… reading of guru gita manthra destroy all calamity, untimely death and drives away all evil forces. It leads to peace and prosperous.

The blessings of guru and great sages act like shield from evil forces. A true yogi can do miracle.

Pranam to Swamy Pranabananda who was able to assume his presence at two places at the same time.

Once, Mukunda was sent to Benares, to give a message to certain yogi, it explain in the AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI . Mukunda was given a letter of introduction and also a message from his father. When Mukunda met the yogi in his ashram, the yogi asked him, before reading the letter "Are you son of Bhagavathi, I will locate Kedar Nath Babu for you in half an hour." Saying this he went into silence. In half an hour Kedar Babu reached. He claims the yogi met him and called him to the ashram, while the yogi was sitting in front of Mukunda.

Swamy Prabananda was a Railway servant. He practice meditating for eight hours in the night. How ever he was not able to go to the desired depths. So he went to Lahiri Mahasaya for help. Mahanaya asked him to meditate more profoundly. Yet Swamy said : "I am appealing to thee, O God my Master ! I see Thee materialized before me in a physical body, bless me that I may perceive thee in thy infinite form."

Lahari Mahasaya extended his hand in a benign/ kind gesture. " You may go and meditate, I have interceded for you with Brahma."

"In that night, the burning goal of my life was achieved. Never from that day has the Creator remained hidden from my eyes behind any screen of delusion."

The gesture of your guru can fulfill what ever your burning desire. So serve a divine guru.

Every words of guru gita is sacred manthras oh Devi

All other manthras have one sixteenth of its power.

Shiva says to Devi…. Every sentence of Guru Gita that I say is a Manthra. There are many Manthra, but they have not even one sixteenth of it's power. So, recite guru gita daily to have success in all your works.

To get all wishes is the nature of common people, and loving god and obtaining his blessings for some, Guru Gita benefit both.  One wish of gaining love and service to the divine is only for the special. So, the special people will recite guru gita daily.

Yogananda was a special birth. His birth itself was the blessing to the devotee of Lahrimahashay. As a boy his only wish was to get realisation. He prayed, meditated and searched for it day and night. He met many gurus and finally reached Shri Yuktheswar his destiny guru. He went to west and set a spiritual community named Ananda Sangha, in America. The book THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI is written by him, which attract many to the spiritual path, especially to Kriya Yoga. I dedicate this part to that great guru Paramhansa Yogananda as guru poornima is nearing.

Light your heart daily with guru gita devotionally

All disease will vanish along with your sorrows.

Like a house wife light a lamp devotionally at home in the evening, thus reciting guru gita daily with devotion will awake and purify your heart. With it all your diseases will vanish and sorrows will fly away.

Prahlada the son of a Demon/Asura King was taken to Lord Hari's name. He, Prahlada was initiated by sage Narada as child. Prahlada chanted name of Hari with firm belief and his friends too starts chanting it, in spite of a ban to chant any god name. Prahlada was tortured in many ways to prevent chanting Hari name,  but his belief was rigid. Eventually the king challenges Prahlada, if Hari, his protector, is in the granite piller to protect him. Lord Hari emerge from the piller in the form of a Narasimha,(Wilde lion with body of man) and killed the king.

Lord Hari blessed Prahlada and his father, the Demon King with many boons. Adhering to Lords name will only bring goodness.

Those who devotionally teach or hear guru gita

Becomes victorious by his guru's blessings.

Shiva says the one who teaches or hear the Guru Gita devotionally will be always victorious in his ventures. He is ever blessed by Guru, and become liberated.

Chaithanya Prabhupadar started the Hare Krishna movement alone. His devotion and chanting, merged in Krishna conscience, attracted many more, is growing up. Matha Amruthanadamayi Devi starting her divine persuasion alone. Her devotional submission to God is accepted by crores of people world wide. Art of living of Sri Sri and Isha Foundation of  Jaggy Vasudev, Ananda Sangha by Guru Dev Yogananda Paramhansa are some examples that set by living men. When the attempt is for a divine cause, are to praise the Lord, it surely purifies the doer and it benefits the society. Even the thought of such positive people will benefit you. Attending their congregation is Sadsang which is considered the most benefiting to ordinary people.

Some people use the power branded by God is to harm public or linch men. The society will suffer and the man behind it will be cursed by society.  He and his siblings will suffer for it here or here after. So always the Divine people those who elevate peace and prosperous. In short do Sadsang, never attach with bad people.

All wishes are accomplished

By which action, I tell you dear

That which helps world is to

Forsake greed and restraining.

Shiva continue to Parvathi… The yogi belonging to guru … his wishes are fulfilled, actions are successful, for which the yogi has to forsake greed and observe austerity, the yama-niyama for yoga.

Out of the ten commandment to a yogi forsake greed and observing celibacy is the main. Narendra the disciple of Ramakrishna, became Vivekananda after passing through many tests in his short period of life. He was lured to relationship by a lady. But he adhere to his principe of celibacy. To every seeker, these type of tests happens which may decide their success. It says Jesus has encountered such tests.

The faith in Guru, God and determination save the yogi from fall.

Guru's words are never wasted. It is powerful enough to bring you back from death. A disciple of the great yogi Banarji wanted to get realisation. He believed that Babaji, is not kind enough to give him the experience. Due to his immense wish for it, he felt his life as obsolete and he declare to commit suicide by jumping from a cliff. Babaji asked him to die and the yogi immediately jumped from the cliff. Babaji sent his other disciples to bring his shattered body to him. Babaji made him alive and blessed with realisation and samadhi. Great yogis are capable of giving life to the dead with his will power.

Parasurama's father Jamadagni gave life to his wife and sons whom Parasurama killed as per his father's order.

Lusty, furious, violent, heinous adamant.

Other than these people should Oh Devi

Serve a worthy sadguru with firm faith.

Shiva says the list of bad people in previous poems, who are never destined to get a guru. Those who never have bad contact are lucky. Such lucky should have a guru and serve his sadguru with firm faith to get liberated.

Salvation should be the prime aim of life. It says Bhakthi/devotion is the best path to salvation. Melpathur Bhattathiri in his Narayaniyam the compact version of Maha Bhagavatham has mentioned it. The author of Narayaniyam is believed to be the incarnation of Ananda (the great snake on which Lord Vishnu rest.).

Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri was an ordinary Brahman of Kerala. He married daughter of his uncle and was staying with them. After marriage he was reluctant to do his daily spiritual practices. One day he heard his uncle's soliloquy "a great brahmana birth is being wasted". Hearing this Narayana repented and changed. He mastered Sanskrit and other literatures soon.

His uncle had arthritis and suffering badly. All treatments failed. As per astrologer's advise, the illness can only be taken by somebody. No willing person was there to take the ailment, then Narayana took the arthritis on him.

Narayana was suffering badly and while approaching for a solution, the translator of Valmiki Ramayana advised him to start with fish. As Brahmins don't eat fish, Narayana, a devotee of Lord Vishu, started Bhajana at Guruvayoor temple. There he starts to recites ten slokas daily briefing Bhagavatam, the tails of Lord. In hundred days, he was recovered as well as got the sight of Lord Krishna. In hundred days he composed Nayayaniyam, whole Bhagavatham (more than eighteen thousand slokas) skimmed to thousand one hundred slokas with all the beauty and less omissions of spiritual messages. His Narayaniyam is being recited devotionally in many temples, is a great joy to hear. Those who have not heard it should at least hear it once.

Guru Gita poem 106

Guru Gita

106

Lusty, furious, violent, heinous adamant.

Ignorant, duty avoider, angersome,sinners,

Are never worthy for Guru Darshan.

Shiva spread a list of the bad quality people who are never worth for the sight of a guru as above. If you come in contact of them, they will destroy you to hell.

Any bad qualities drives you away from God. The story  of Jadabharatha in Bhagavatham is an example. Bharatha was a hermit to the level of a Maharshi (Great Sage who was set in self realisation). One day he saves a deer calf and brings it to his Hermitage. In the following days, his sadhna (spiritual practice) began to diminish and he prefered to care and love the deer. The fallen saint at the time of his death, died with great concern for the deer. He departed looking it in great grief. In his rebirth, he has the knowledge of his previous birth. So he decided not to respond to anything to escape any fall from his practice. He acted as dumb to continue sadhana. He did whatever he was asked to do. One day he was asked for carrying a palanquin of a king, and a situation compelled him to talk to the king. The king realised his spiritual greatness and prostates in his feet. JadaBharatha explained his failure to get liberation due to his attachment to the deer. As JadaBharatha's identity is exposed  he leaves to seclusion in forest for thapasya and attained moksham.

         The story shows, even attachment due to compassion cause obstruction to attainment of God. Therefore destroy all your bad habits, company; become detached and  become pure to get liberation.

Guru Gita

105-

Wicked, molester, atheist, saperatist

Rapist, rogue, treacherous, selfish.

Work ourst, patience less, abusive,

Are never worthy for Guru Darshan.

Shiva spread a list of the bad people who are never worth for the sight of a guru as above. Never approach such person, avoid them. If you come in their clutch you are perished to hell.

The western culture believe that God is one special entity and all should follow the same path or belief. But the Indian Sanathan culture believe that one God manifest in many forms. To reach him there are many ways.  It depends on the mental and spiritual position of the individual and accordingly one has to select his path. Path for some may be Sanyas or knowledge. Some prefer family life and observing the obligation of family (Grihasthasram). Some says devotion (Bhakthi) is the best path to realization for the family holders.

The most advanced thinking is Vedanta. It consider self to be god "I am none other than God" ( Aham Brhama Asmi). If God is all pervading, god pervades yourself too. So God is there in you, but as God is pure and love unconditional. God do not project in us due to our impurities. Shed off our impurities and become pure as God.  Simple like the ancient incarnations. You are none other than gods own , But we require a sadguru to guide us to bring the best out of us. Your sincere effort is your exam to success. If you find a bad guru you will surely perrish in seconds like a bomb blast. But, lorre and compassion will lead us to God, because God is pure and unconditional love. Jai Guru.

That guru who's acts cause illusion to his subject

Don't even salute him, but avoid and refuge a sadguru.

Shiva says Oh Devi, there are many orthodox men skilled in black magic and other illusionary arts. They use name of god, to attract simple enthusiast like you and use you as suicide bomb.  Don't even salute them. But refuge a sadguru, he will develop love and divinity in you, and transform you from Narendra to Vivekananda.
