Guru is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance from our life. Guru has played an important role in life since ancient times. Gurus are also an integral part of the society and the society building process. In the Vedas and Puranas, Gurus have been described as equal to gods. There has been a tradition of initiation in Hindu religion since ancient times. Initiation gives direction to our directionless life. Initiation is a kind of oath, covenant or resolution. There has been a tradition of initiation in Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism. In Sikh it is called Amrit Sanchar.
Gurumantra is the name of the deity, mantra, number or word which the Guru gives to his disciple to chant. As a result of Guru Mantra, the disciple makes spiritual progress and ultimately attains salvation. By the way, the deity whose name is mentioned in Guru Mantra is especially necessary for the spiritual progress of that disciple. Attaining salvation is the highest spiritual experience of a person’s life, he experiences becoming one with God. He feels constant joy.
A disciple is a seeker who has a spiritual level. This means that a disciple is one who sacrifices his body, mind and wealth for spiritual practice and has a strong passion for spiritual progress. The effectiveness of Guru Mantra depends on the spiritual level of the person giving the mantra.
There is no limit to the spiritual power of Guru Mantra. If a person is conscious of his sadhana and has a strong desire to make spiritual progress, then the latent Gurutattva or guiding principle creates appropriate opportunities for his progress in his life. The name of the Gurumantra or the name of the deity of the religion according to one’s birth should be chanted on whomever the person has more faith in. When someone behaves selfishly, his ego is reduced. If a person chants the Guru Mantra with devotion and has a strong desire to attain God, then the latent Guru principle or the Guru form of God himself brings the real Guru of the earth into his life.
Sometimes saints provide chanting to a person, so that the spiritual obstacles coming in the life of that person are removed. This also solves spiritual problems. Sometimes people mistake this chanting for Gurumantra. Keep in mind that Guru Mantra is only for spiritual progress, which also leads to salvation.
Some people keep demanding Gurumantra from the Guru continuously. Gurus give mantras to such devotees. Similarly, the Gurumantra which is taken by paying money is also a Gurumantra in name only. Even if a Guru gives Guru Mantra to a person (or a seeker), that person should still do good service, sacrifice and love everyone unconditionally for spiritual progress along with chanting the Guru Mantra.
If there is any most powerful mantra in the world, then it is the mantra given by the Guru, which is called Guru Mantra. Guru Mantra has the power to remove bad luck. If seen, a common man keeps chanting many mantras, but even after chanting so many mantras, no one gets any benefit. This mantra makes the life of the chanter pure and fulfills all kinds of material and spiritual desires. Does. The person who chants the above powerful mantra so many times every day at sunrise, there is no shortage of anything in his life.
Guru’s blessings shower upon each of his disciples. Some disciples are worthy and some are worthless, but for the Guru they are all equal and the Guru bestows blessings on every disciple equally. However, some facts must be kept in mind that those devotees or disciples who do sadhana, chanting, penance etc. to attain the blessings of the Guru, the Guru’s attention goes to them out of love and those who do not do anything, the attention goes to them out of duty. That is, even if you do not do anything, the Guru will definitely give you something, but it will not be because of his love, but because you have been the disciple of that Guru for many previous lives and it is the Guru’s responsibility to send you on the right path in this life too. It is a duty.
This also means that our efforts should be to attain the love of the Guru. If you receive their love, you will automatically receive blessings.
But it is strictly prohibited to recite mantras without a qualified guru. This is Advaita Mantra, hence it makes the seeker alone and absorbs or swallows under its influence the skills and behavior required to live in the world. Even though the vocal organs are not used directly in Manas chanting, their silent role remains. Therefore, one should not chant any mantra without the advice of a qualified Guru. Certainly not about seed mantras.
All the scriptures have praised the Guru element. There may be differences of opinion regarding the existence of God, but no differences of opinion have arisen regarding the Guru till date. Everyone has accepted Guru. Every Guru has given full respect to other Gurus including respect, praise and worship. Many sects of India exist only on the basis of Guruvani.
It is the ultimate duty of the disciple of that sect to follow the rules given by the Guru with devotion. The work of the Guru is also to solve moral, spiritual, social and political problems. Who is not familiar with Guru Vashishtha in the court of King Dasharatha, without whose advice no work of the court was done.
The role of Guru in India has not been limited to only spirituality or religion, when political calamity has befallen the country, Guru has also rescued the country from the calamity by giving appropriate advice. That is, from time immemorial the Guru has comprehensively and comprehensively guided the disciple in every field. Therefore, due to such glory of Sadhguru, his personality is higher than that of his parents. Due to his importance, Guru has been given a higher position than God. In the scriptures itself, Guru has been accepted as different forms of God – Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar. Guru is called Brahma because he creates the disciple and gives new birth. Guru is also Vishnu because he protects the disciple. Guru is also Maheshwar in reality because he also destroys all the faults of the disciple.
