Guru Purnima
According to Kullarnava Tantra, its been said that “ Guru is Lord and Guru’s Worship is Lord Worship”.
Then what is the need for Lord to come through Guru’s way/form ? What he wants to do, why he dosent comes directly in his form?
He is omnipresent, beyond assumptions, with no particular form ,characteristics, infinite and immortal. How to worship such Lord.
Hence to bless the human beings , he appears in the form of GURU.
In human form, Guru is exactly the almighty.
Indirectly on earth , moving he is showering his blessings over his disciples.
Often its not easy to explain and talk about Guru because this word has become meaningless.
Almighty is like a powerhouse so If you want to lit our bulb directly, we cannot get current from that powerhouse. When we a need that current, then we need help of a stabilizer which can stabilize direct current to enlighten us so…Guru works like a stabilizer.
Many thousand volt current cannot directly come to us, we hav to take more media to get it…so we need a Guru to enlighten us.
Just by merely reading the shastras, we cannot understand what Guru is. There is a need to be in touch with Guru and the one who is the bhakti with his Guru’s padukas…will hav a divine experience.
