Saturday, July 12th, 2014
When Guru becomes SadGuru…becomes God Supreme…that becomes the ultimate blessing for a devotee. For the Sai fraternity, if one could address it so, this day is supremely special for, He becomes The Father… The Mother… The Guru and God Supreme… Supreme SadGuru for the entire fraternity that knows Him…and beyond the circle, for the entire creation… He Is The Cause!!! It is the occasion to pay special homage to That Unmanifest One…Who manifested out of His Pure Love, guiding the entire creation back unto Him… as Supreme SadGuru!!! Poetic musings from Sri Jullie Chaudhuri on the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima.
Through eons gone by,
On the stormy ocean of life,
Adrift was i,
Until You came along…
At long last a response to my evensong…
In You…
…a perennial quest has found an answer,
Oh! Beloved Mother Sai…
Now i know none else…
….nor do i seek any other…
Tasmai Sri Guruve Namah…
You add substance to existence,
Without You nothing…
Not a thing…
….has any meaning…
…or any significance…
You bring down each and every barricade,
Of pretence,
Matchless is Your love…
…and incomparable Your guidance…
Now, i know none else…
….nor do i seek any other…
Tasmai Sri Guruve Namah…
You help me subtly face,
The face in the mirror…
Quell the inner clamour,
Heed the voice of conscience,
Senses tether…imperfections sever…
…values balance…ethics adhere,
All kinds of obstacles,
You assist me triumph over,
Now, i know none else…
….nor do i seek any other…
Tasmai Sri Guruve Namah…
Silently You hold my hand,
i know You do…
…for…
…in sheer bliss…
….i feel my heart expand,
…i sense Your support…
…i experience You…
When hope gets submerged in a fog…
…ever so dense…
When question marks surround consequence,
On the blueprint of my life…
…i know Your distinct touch,
Your inimitable assurance…
…as such…
Now, i know none else…
….nor do i seek any other…
Tasmai Sri Guruve Namah…
Through thickening darkness…
…and twilight moments…
…my tiniest needs You do dotingly address…
Oh! Cherished Gurudeva…
When i need a Mother’s care…
…and a Father’s strength…
Enveloping me in Your light…
…You do me…oh! so tenderly bless…
Incomprehensible is the relief that i draw from You…
…inexplicable is the joy that does ensue…
Now, i know none else…
….nor do i seek any other…
Tasmai Sri Guruve Namah…
Deeply do i acknowledge the Grace,
You bestow upon me…
…from the micro to the macro…
…consistently…
Transcendental benedictions…
…that make me aware of You…
…in all that i see…
A kindred circle that encompasses…
…all beings creation through…
…it is You that breathes life into each being…
You breathe through myriad life forms…
…each life form is You…
…every bit is You, my Beloved Guru,
Essentially You…
Samastha Jeeva Sukhino Bhavantu…
Oh! Such vistas have You…
…so mercifully…
…opened up for me…
Where the heart prevails upon the mind…
…and the mind is captivated by Thee,
Oh! Precious Gurudeva…
…so completely…
Now, i know none else…
….nor do i seek any other…
Tasmai Sri Guruve Namah…
Oh! Beloved Bhagawan…
Oh! Eternally Infinite One…
…Ultimate Sovereign Supreme…
You are the Promised Redeemer…
…and the only One Who can redeem…
Come now…i pray Thee…
…do enlighten me…
…how can i not seek Thee…?
…how can i not seek Thy Presence…?
When the unsurpassable effulgence…
…of Thy Pristine Essence,
Forms the Immaculate Cosmic Source…
Bequeathing life…the Cosmos through…
The Universe does salute this tacit statute…
Oh! Thee…
The Absolute Embodiment of Truth,
It is Thy Will and Compassion…
…that predominates every atom in Space…
…there is nothing…
… that it cannot prevail upon or transmute…
Earnestly devout are the sentiments…
…ever so fervent the adoration…
…and absorbingly profound the reverence…
…that is being poured…
…at Thy petal soft Lotus Feet…
…While You remain…
…lovingly ensconced in each heartbeat…
All honour, praise, veneration…
…upon every exalted pedestal…
…is reserved solely for Thee…
…my soul worships Thee…
…in all that it does see…
…everything is beset by Thy glory…
…nothing else can attract such abundant fervour…
…and compelling ardour…
For…
…i know none else…
….nor do i seek any other…
Tasmai Sri Guruve Namah…
