How Guru affects janmas?
Please read the link given here to know about
it……….( http://kantipadam.blogspot.in/search?q=guru+over+the+janmas )
Assume you are an executive in a pvt. Company and
wish to see yourself in the top of the career ladder 10 years down the line.
Then it is a common practice to hold on to a mentor. As he grows in the Company
so do you along with him. He too should of course want to be Executive Director
or CMD of that company in 10 years. In a similar fashion your Guru should be a
mentor who aspires and works to be the CMD in the spiritual world then ofcouse
your growth will be directly proportionate to his. This is smart strategy.
Relationship between disciple and Guru over janmas
– an example:
“Arjuna, you and I are meeting since being Nara and
Narayana. I remember all our previous janmas and you don’t” said Krishna to
Arjuna making it obvious as to explain their love, tie and connection between
them both.
In Sai baba’s stories also he talks of having met
his disciples Mynatai,shyma and others in their previous janmas too!
As Guru, these students too grew spiritually over
the janmas. And you are thinking of getting “materialistic” benefit from your
Guru, then you’ll meet one such person only. But if your desire is to “know
self”, get “realization” then you’ll log on to a Guru who is on this journey
and if your ‘nishta’ is pure and complete, you’ll grow as and when he grows.
This Guru is not a one janma(life) story. So relax
and work on self. Be prepared because when you are ready, he’ll come searching
for you.
Padmashri Jesudas, the great musician, the living
legend in one of his interviews talks about one of his Gurus Late Shri.Pallavi
Narasimha Acharya who came from ….. cycling to his home at …….. in Madras. His
Guru said “I heard you sing in AIR and I am impressed and I’ve come to teach
you ‘pallavi’ (music lesson in the particular form of singing). He would cycle
everyday to teach Yesudas and never accepted his offer to pick him and drop him
in his car. That is the love of the Guru towards his ‘sincere and deserving
student’. Of course when he grew old, he became bed ridden, it was Yesudas in
whose house he was housed and was well taken of by Yesudas. His last wish that
Yesudas should put ‘rice first in his mouth’ after death (that’s a ritual in
Hindu death ceremony). Yesudas came all the way from US to be with his Guru
during his last days and left only after completion of all the rituals. In genuine
relationship, there is no need to use words like responsibility, love,
gratitude, seva, it finds its natural expression in every act of the persons
involved. If both Guru-shishya are in the same page, then that is the best of
relationships in the world – nothing more pure and complete than this.
