Ham is the seed , Sa is the power, Soham is the nail, For getting the merciful
blessing I of guru, We are starting the chanting
Kara nyasa
Acts by hand
Hrudhayaadhi nyasa
Acts by chest
On the divine lotus with thousand petals where two swans Shiva and Sakthi roam
about,
We should meditate on the feet I of guru, which is the cause of creation and destruction
of the world,
With several bodies present there, which is free and grants us joy, which is in the
beginning and end,
Which is filled with taste of wisdom, which is without limits, which has an auspicious
form,
Which is like the never decaying thing has come before our eyes and which is forever.
He who is spread all over universe, the primeval god,, who is pure , forever , divine,
without stains,
Who is full of joy always, is the place where pleasure exists, is the forever peace, who
has his own luster,
Who is paramahamsa, who is the most divine among all divines and who wanders all
over the place
Should be worshipped in a stage of letters hidden in the thousand petal lotus.
Oh mind worship the lotus of guru who has long feet , has the throne of Omkara,
Which is the place from where the world is ruled, Where all rituals and Vedas were
studied,
Which travels on the six basic wheels, which is the same as the fire which explains
advaitha,
Which is stainless philosophy , which exists with full luster, peace and is sun where
wisdom dawns.

I salute the Sath Guru with my head, who is peaceful and is the form of Shiva which we
can see,
,Who sits on the yoga peeda, who grants salvation and also grants wealth
We should think first in the morning the Guru who has a white head with two eyes.
And who has two hands giving boons and protection and who is peaceful.
We should meditate Guru with a pleasing face and eyes, who has rm of all gods,
And whose holy wash of his feet with fall on our head.
On his right leg all sacred waters are there and all Vedas in his face,
Meditate on him like that and worship him with flowers

And darling , just like that when you do not know the philosophy of Guru,
Chanting, penance,thapas , sacred waters yaga as well as charity are useless
Oh Lady with a blessed form, it is the truth that without advice of Guru,
Nothing will become truth to the soul and so wise people should try to attain it
The body which is resting place of maya of the world is the birth place of ignorance,
It has been told that knowledge is born by the sound Guru and blessing of guru.
I salute that Guru whose twin feet which removes the sorrows flowing,
From differences and which makes us cross the ocean of birth .
By your grace I will tell you how every being can become Brahmam,
This is by drinking the water used to wash the feet of Guru as well as by serving his
feet.,
A person gets all the benefits of taking bath in all sacred waters,
By drinking water used to wash the feet of Guru and sprinkling the remaining water
on his head.
That which reduces the collection of sins and make you shine in luster of wisdom,
Is the water used to wash feet of Guru and it helps us to cross the ocean of birth.
Drink water used to wash feet of guru , eat the food left by him,
Always meditating on Guru and always chant name of Guru
WE will worship the dust of the feet of our Guru who is our lord,
Which is like Sethu bridge which will help us to cross the ocean of Samsara.

I salute that great Guru for great fulfillment of my desires
Where the Guru lives is the temple of Kasi, the water washing his feet is water of
Ganga,

And also Prayaga the king of sacred waters, My salutations to that Guru again and
again.
Brahmam stays in face of Guru and by his blessings we can attain him,
We should always think about Guru just life a girl who loves always thinks of her lover
Such people who did not think anything else will get divine comfort,

It is definite that for them and all there is no philosophy above Guru,
So worship Guru and offer your entire life to him
In the world with Brahma Vishnu and Shiva , guru is the only one,
And there is nothing greater than guru and so Guru should be worshipped well.
The lotus like feet of Guru is like the gem at the top of all Vedas,
And so Guru who explains the meaning of Vedanthas should be worshipped
Oh lady with a blessed form , the man’s form is filled crores of germs ,
Foul smelling stool and urine and is built by skin, flesh and blood.
Those who climb tree of domestic life , hall in the ocean of hell,

Guru is only Brahma, Guru is Vishnu and Guru only is Lord Shiva,
Guru is the divine brahmam and so I salute that Guru
He who opens the one blinded by ignorance and gives him wisdom,
And opens his eyes is the Guru and my salutations to him.

And the one who shows us its truth is Guru and our salutations to him.

What is the use of learning several times hundreds of faultless Pranayama ,
Which have form of sorrow, difficult to win, difficult to perform, for a long period,
It is needed to serve a Guru to learn , to stifle the powerful breath,’
By learning that normal thing so that the usual way will control it.
That Guru, whom the Vedas say, there is no one superior to him,
Should be worshipped with true faith be mind and words.
This is the first chapter of Guru geetha which occurs in skanda purana,
In Brahma samhiths and in discussion between Lord Parameshwara aand uma
Dwitheeyo adhyaya
Hear up meditation , oh grat goddess, which gives all sorts of joy,
All pleasantness and also giver of prosperity and salvation.

I chant name of pASra Brahma Guru and I salute Para Brahma guru
I salute my great Guru, who is immersed in divine bliss, who is divinely happy,
Who is unalloyed wisdom, who is beyond anything that is two,
Who is like a sky, whose aim is I am that, who is one, who is forever,
Who is pure, who is immobile, who is witness for everything,
Who is beyond emotions and who is beyond the three fold qualities.
In the feet of Guru there is the killer fire which destroys all sorrow,
And in the 1000 petal lotus in his brain, there is the moon.

He who teaches the creation of all worlds, who has all Vedas as his eyes,
Who is the meaning of the word good, , who is beyond the non soul characters,
Who is interested only in meaning of good, who is beyond characters he is born with,
Who only looks at the path of salvation, may his sight always fall on me.
He who is the measuring stick of construction and destruction of all the worlds,
Rain of all type of mercy, the compendium of all philosophies,
The creator of all time. Having sight of divine joy,
May such a divine look of Guru be always with me.
All that needs to be known should be known and mind tells that it is wisdom,

We have to getknowledge equal to what we should know and there is no other way.
Sad Guru is one who cuts off eight type of desires using ,
The knife called kindness and makes the child called happiness to be born.
The intelligent disciple should not say huum, hum before the guru.,
And he should never talk a lie in front of him.
He who addreeses Guru without respect and insults him while replying,
Would became a brahma rakshasa in a forest bereft of water
You should not disobey the guru , you should not do,
Anything without his orders nor go in a athnot approved by him.
You should take bad drinks in Guru’s hermitage nor wander aimlessly,
And you should not give deekshaa, explanation of sastras, give job to others and
orderothers.
WE should salute slippers, seat and bed which are liked by the Guru,

And none of them should be touched by your feet.
When Guru walks , we should walk behind him , we should not cross his shadow,
WE should not dress luxuriously nor do luxurious make up before him
If you so those find fault with guru , we should go away from there,
If you have strength you can cut his toungue otherwise we should empty that place.
The food left after eating by Giru should not be given away, You should not,
Disobey him , you should not words against him , you should respect his orders.
Never talk lies words not liked by Guru, proud words, exaggerations,
And words contradictory to Guru’s words, his orders should be obeyed/
Oh Lady, The two letters Gu Ru are the king of known chants,
And Guru is the only source of explanation of Smruthi and Vedas
He who carries staff and wears ochre robes for the sake of respect of others,
Is not considered as Sanyasi,and he who has very great knowledge only is Sanyasi
Just like a lamp lighting another lamp, Guru would shine in godliness
And teach about the formless and property less Para Brahma

44.AAbrahma sthamba paryantham paramathma swaroopakam,
Sthavaram jangamam chaiva pramami jagan mayam
From Brahma to a little worm, both moving and non moving things,
Which have forms pervaded in the world,.are considered as form of God and I salute
them
I salute that Jagad Guru who has a form of divine joy, is beyond thought,
Who is stable complete, does not have form, does not have properties and is within his
soul
I meditate on he who is most divine, who grants joy, who is in the middle,
Of Sky of the mind and who is always like a pure crystal.
He who is like form of crystal in crystal, who has form of mirror in mirror,
Who is like form of soul in soul, who is divinely joyous and is clear when we
understand that is him
I am strange, without another like me, stablewith my own luster pervading everywhere,
I am stainless , having form of divine sky, I am permenant, filled with joy and
imperishable
Parvathy , understand Brahma cannot be reached by our character ,It does not,
Not have name or form, it is not reachable for words.
Just like the worm by always thinking about insect becomes that,
A person wherever he is should always be himself Brahmam.

He who practices the concept of single Brahmam without two ,
As told by his Guru, need never go to the forest at all.
For that which is not clear where is the question of invoking and how can we ,
Throw out that which is everywhere, how can worship the shapeless and,
How can we meditate on that which fills itself everywhere?
Guru as Vishnu with sathva aspect, the Lord Brahma with rajasa character,
And Rudra who hass thamasic form, creates looks after and destroys
You have to yourself become Brahmam and see that divine one,
Which is filled all over, goes every where and never gets destroyed
72.Thasya avalokanam prapya sarva sanga vivarjitham,
Yekaki nispruha santha sthathavyam thath prasadatha.
I salute that Guru, who is depended upon by those, who follow entire veda,
Who grants knowledge about him as well of others and who is god.
I worship that Guru who removes all doubts , who shows wisdom,
Which is secret as well as unified and who is god himself.

Swa visranthim na jaanaathi param nistharayeth kadham.
We have keep away from guru without wisdom , who tells lies,
Who puts on an act without need for how can he who is not peaceful give us peace.
Does a stone give you knowledge about divine god and attraction,
To stone will end in deceit, that which cannot cross itself cannot make others cross.
Those who cause madness about them on just seeing are not fit to be saluted,
Such gurus should be kept far away and we should depend on a bold guru
Those who are outside Vedas, who are sinners, who are atheists,
Who are interested in creating differences, who are attracted by ladies,
Who have bad habits, who are not grateful, who live like stork
They who did not do rituals , who are impatient, who enter in to silly arguments,
Passionate ones , short tempered , who get joy by troubling , who are cruel , who do
not have shame
Those who lack wisdom , who never do their duties, great sinners, oh darling,
You should search for a guru without these with care and accept as Guru and serve
him
All that we get from guru should destroy sins, lead to good results,
Whatever thing you consider is good for you should not be hidden before guru

Jobs which we are not able to do would get completed, fear of planets would go away,
Bad dreams would get destroyed and good dreams would get positive results

For destruction of karma , for getting rid of eight typesof attachment ,
He who knows the truth takes bath in waters of Guru Geetha always.
He is the sath guru , he is the best among those who know the causal brahmam,
Wherever he is, all those places are pure, there is no doubt about it
Just like water getting mixed in ocean, just like milk is there in milk,
Water is in water and sky is there in broken pot, the soul gets mixed up with god.

Clan of mother and clan of father are all Guru without any doubt.
Those people with less luck and those feeble people who dop not believe,
This and are not interested in service of Guru, would be boiled in a dirty hell
Those who do not care for their wife but are passionate of other women,
Are not liked by me, Oh lady, there is nothing more I have to add
Never think in your mind that you can tell Guru Geetha to
People without devotion, cheat, evil person, atheists and those who do not believe

In those people who are intelligent efficient, interested in spiritual matters,
Who has a pure heart the guru ship will shine greatly
To him who leaves bad company, leave out doing sinful deeds,
And whose mind has these symptoms ,initiation can be done
He in whose mind sacrifice is there and anger and pride are not there,
And gives up differention of people , initiation can be done
The initiation with method was earlier explained and this manthra,
Initiation which has branches and sub branches appeared from lord Shiva
The action of giving Guru’s position does not have any actions,
Without initiation as Guru how can any one continue his methods
I salute my guru who has form of divine joy, who is divine soul,
Spread everywhere and who has a lustrous form of joy
I salute the guru who has form of true joy, who makes ,

He who by several suitable advices managed his children like disciples,
Knowing the essence of his kindness, the disciples attained the seat of mind of guru
