On this blessed day, we honor the lotus feet of our Guru Maa
Mamtamai Shri Radhe Guru Maa, whose mercy and grace free us from our sorrows
and give us the strength bear the challenges of life. Adi Shankara, the
celebrated expounder of Adwaita Vedanta, wrote a stotra in praise of the guru's
padukas or sandals as one cannot gain knowledge without the grace of the
guru.
Guru Purnima falls on Friday, July 30- 31 this year. The
occasion celebrates not just human gurus who are alive and those who are no
longer in their bodies but the 'guru tatva' - the guru principle present in the
universe. The guru tatva is God himself as it is all pervading - it is present
everywhere. Animals, plants, experiences, minerals and even enemies have
something to teach us. There is no gyaan without guru. And for one who raises
his awareness, the guru tattva present everywhere takes him towards the Supreme
Light that is God Himself.
So we take this opportunity to praise teachers in all forms
and of all kinds who teach us important lessons in life, and impart insights
that make our mental, intellectual and spiritual growth possible. We thank our
great Rishis who revealed to us the astounding truths of the Vedas. We thank
Maharishi Panini the great grammarian of Sanskrit. We thank masters like Sri
Madhavacharya, Sri Ramanujacharya, Sri Vallabhacharya, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
and Sri Adi Sankara whose teachings, paramparas and sadhus have kept the flame
of sanatana dharma alive against all odds.
May we continue to be blessed with the refuge of Mamtamai
Shri Radhe Maa's feet and serve Sanatan Dharma to the best of our abilities.
Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa ki Jai! Guru Tatva ki Jai! Satya Sanatan Hindu Dharma
ki Jai!
