Description
Guru Purnima is the day of abundant blessings from the Guru Tatva (element).
On this platform of Shifting Into Awareness, we learn many beautiful things about the Guru Tatva directly from the scriptures and the teachings of great Mystics.
Guru appears in an embodied form because we are unable to tap into our inner consciousness. Thus we offer salutations and reverence to all the embodied Masters who walked into our lives at the right time as guided by the divine will. Due to their embodied presence, we saw them, heard them, touched them with out senses and relished the teachings and trainings necessary. The embodied Guru’s sole agenda is to lead you to your inner Self (inner Guru) from where you directly access the God within. Hence, much importance is given to the embodied teachers.
The embodied teachers help in various ways to activate your inner Guru and will be around till you are able to do it fully. The inner guru is awareness, which is represented as Murugan or Skanda or Subramanya or Kartikeya, the son of Shiva. He represents the Guru Tatva as the light of awareness. He reigns in the Agya chakra (third eye), the seat of Buddhi (intellect) and the home of awareness. His grace arrives into our lives, again, at the right time, as divine will, to shine his armour of wisdom and activate the gyan-agni (fire of knowledge) in us, the fire that destroys the darkness of ignorance, increasing the light in us that eventually removes the darkness of illusions and falseness of this dream world. It is only by the grace of this awareness that one with the sword of wisdom, destroy the ignorance of ego. Arunachala is the seat of Skandam which is the doorway to Gyana Yoga, the final point of the spiritual journey. This Tatva is the destroyer of the ego, after which one becomes the hill (Shiva) itself.
The platform of Shifting Into Awareness is the blessing and grace of Murugan and Shiva, by which we are able to comprehend the Supreme Wisdom and practice it too. All is grace and without grace nothing is possible. So on this Guru Purnima day, when grace is at the peak for all seekers, we spend our time in union with the Guru Tatva.
Lord Dattatraya, is revered as the Guru of all Gurus, the father of all Avadhutas, who bestows the real meaning of Guru Tatva, through his teachings in Avadhuta Gita. Those who are blessed are able to contemplate on this great scripture. The first verse itself confirms “Advaita Vasanam Ishwara Kripa” meaning “It is by the grace of the Divine alone that one develops the urge for pure Advaita (pure nonduality)”. So, it is by grace of the Guru Tatva alone, we are guided rightly at all the phases of the spiritual journey. We tap on this day to enhance our connection and receptivity with the Guru Tatva.
As all the noise of our lives eventually drops down, the next higher guru, the final Guru Dakshinamurty (Shiva’s silent form) becomes our Guru, where all the teachings then are received in silence after the seeker becomes worthy of being in the silence of “I AMness”.
In this webinar, we deeply drench ourselves in the grace of the Guru & Gurumandala while understanding the secrets of Guru Tattva. Deep profound practices in the webinar, with 3 preparatory sessions before the webinar and one followup session after the webinar.
