Guru(Gu=Ignorance, Ru= Remover), is one who removes ignorance and delusion from the heart and illuminates it with higher wisdom. Poornima signifies the mind filled with delight. That is what Guru Poornima is all about.
It was an amazing Guru poornima celebrated on the 7th July at Kamla Vihar. Among the icons were, Krish, Alka Didi, Virat Bhaiyya and over 250 devotees!
The hall was jam-packed and everyone were squeezing to sit. It began with Satsang by the amazing Krish and Anagha. Later was the Guru pooja done by Alka Didi. You know, Alka Didi has this very beautiful way of giving knowledge, and I really don’t know how she does it, but she always gives deep knowledge in a very simple way, and the kind of knowledge that you feel is really meant for you.
Do you know, what is Pooja?
Pooja is when you pray to the divine with heart completely contended and full of gratitude. (Poorna ho ke jab pray karte ho toh who Pooja hota hai)
Today is the day of The Guru. And you are allowed to ask for one wish, and that will be fulfilled today. Today is the day, you ask something and it will be done. Today is Valentine’s Day for all the devotees. And so, we sing with all enthusiasm, joy and gratitude.
This day is so great that if you were not regular in Sadhna and Satsang in the past, this Satsang has the power to compensate for all that. Now that doesn’t mean that you stop doing kriya and Satsang and do them only on Guru poornima day, it is just a way to begin with a clean slate.
We have all experienced the Sudarshan Kriya in our life and found it to be amazing. It is now our duty to take this knowledge to others. If so many people take sankalp today, it can give effects of a big yagna.
All that Guruji wants on this day is that each and every one of us must be Guru to someone in this life. Just like Guruji, we must love, guide people and help them solve their problems. We must be a guru to someone.
The significance of the index finger: It is used to show directions. No other finger can be used to show directions, but the index finger. The index finger represents Jupiter, i.e. Guru. Guru guides you throughout your life, just like the index finger shows directions.
Take a look at yourself a year or months back. You have changed. You are not the same person anymore. In the spiritual path, change is inevitable and it is towards the good. If you have noticed it, good. But if you have not noticed it yet, don’t worry, you have definitely changed. In The Art of Living, changes take place at rocket-speed.
And it ended with more Satsang from Krish and Anagha.
If you’ve missed it, then you’ve missed a lot. Today is the day for our beloved Guru. He is always there for you; can you not be there for him on just this one day?
Loads of Love,
Ravi.
