Shree Guru Gita
|
 |
Om, this is the shree Guru Gita stotra-mantra having
the eternal Lord Shiva as the seer.
|
 |
With different modes are the metres,
The supreme Self of shree Guru is the deity.
|
 |
Ham is the seed,
Sah the shakti,
Krom the pillar.
|
 |
In order to attain the prasad of shree Guru
is the repeating purpose.
|
 |
Now meditation,
|
 |
By Ham and Sah, by a lotus surrounded by petals,
by the divine cause of the world,
the universe arose by living in innumerable bodies,
for its own pleasure by the will of the Self.
|
 |
On that light which is but the foot of Shambhu, a foot
holding the flame of a lamp,
on the visible imperishable form, the Guru's foot,
one should meditate firmly and perpetually.
|
 |
For me, to attain the four kinds of life goals
is the repeating purpose.
|
 |
On the summit of Mount Kailasa resplendent,
to the master of union with devotion
having pranamed, Parvati, with devotion,
questioned Shankara...
|
 |
Shree Goddess said,
|
 |
Om, salutations, O God, O Lord of gods,
Beyond the beyond, O Guru of the universe!
O eternal Shiva, O great God,
the Guru initiation give to me!
|
 |
By which path O Swami,
should an embodied one full of Brahman become?
Do your grace unto me O Swami,
I am bowing to your feet.
|
 |
Ishvara said,
|
 |
My form O Goddess you are,
for your love am I speaking,
Helpful to the world is the question,
not by anyone even done before.
|
 |
Difficult to attain in the three worlds,
listen to what I am saying,
There is no other Guru apart from Brahman,
this is true, this is true, O beautiful one.
