You may be the worst sinner, highly undisciplined; you may have committed all kinds of atrocities; yet, if a mahatma declares, "Oh, he is my child", that will suffice for you

 

The rarest of the rare is getting a Uttama Guru. When you have a Guru, you can peacefully rest.

 

How do we know that the Guru is pleased with us?

 

No one else pleases me the most than the ones who Chant Mahamantra!

 

When a disciple leads his life with the clear understanding that it is the Guru who is running his life - adverse or otherwise, completely emptying the mind of personal likes and dislikes, seeing everything as Guru's leela, attains realization

 

Guru's Word is the root of Mantra

 

God is for all. Each and everyone have the right to attain God. Bhagavan Nama japa is the universal way

 

'Gurohu anugrahenaiva puman puranah prasantaiye'

 

We would feel that there is none as rich as we are because we have got such a Guru Ratnam

 

Bhakti is all about showing gratitude.

 

It is the Guru who shows that way, and the gratitude shown to such a Guru is Guru Bhakti

 

How to show our gratitude to our Guru?

 

The only act a true devotee can do is to chant Nama to express the gratitude to the Guru for the grace showered on the devotee.

 

Chanting the Name of God continuously will invoke the grace of the Guru

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
