Guru Disciple Relationship

ॐ गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुर्गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः।
गुरुः साक्षात्परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः।।

Om gurur brahmā gurur viṣṇur gurur devo maheśvaraḥ,
guruḥ sākṣāt paraṁ brahma tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ.

Om. To that beautiful and benevolent Guru who is Brahmā, the Creator, Viṣṇu, the Maintainer, and Śiva, the Great Lord through whom all things return to their origin. To that Guru who is the direct experience of Brahman, salutations.

अखण्ड-मण्डलाकारम् व्याप्तम् येन चराचरम्।
तत्पदम् दर्शितम् येन तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः॥

Akhaṇḍa-maṇḍalākāram vyāptam yena carācaram।
Tat padam darśitam yena, tasmai śrī gurave namah॥

I pay obeisances to Sri Guru, who revealed to me That state, which pervades the entire unbroken circle (of creation), both moving and unmoving.

हिरण्यगर्भादारब्धां शेषव्यासादिमध्यमाम्।
स्वामिश्रीरामपादान्तां वन्दे गुरुपरम्पराम्॥३॥

hiraṇya-garbhād ārabdhāṁ śeṣa-vyāsādi-madhyamām,
svāmi-śrī-rāma-pādāntāṁ vande guru-paramparām.

Originating from the Golden Womb (of light, the guru-spirit), and (flowing) down through the medium of gurus like Śeṣa (Patañjali), Vyāsa and the rest, ending at the feet of Śrī Swāmī Rāma, that (unbroken stream of) succession, I worship.

On the most special occasion of Gurudeva Swami Rama’s 100th birthday (25 October), let us come together to honour His Birth Centenary and delve deep into the meaning and significance of the Guru Prayer and the sacred relationship between a Guru and a disciple.

Join us for this satsanga with Rabindra Sahu, as we come together to pay homage to the Guru Lineage on this special day. On the most auspicious day of 25 October 2025, we will offer our prayers and practices through a 24-hours akhanda (non-stop) japa and meditation at the feet of our Gurudeva Swami Rama.
