We attach paramount importance to spiritual gurus. Gurus are often equated with God and always regarded as a link between the individual and the Immortal. Just as the moon shines by reflecting the light of the sun, and glorifies it, all disciples can dazzle like the moon by gaining from their Gurus.

       我们给予Gurus(精神导师)最高的敬意.Gurus的地位常等同于众神,经常被视为众生与神的链接. 就像月亮反射太阳的光辉,为它增添荣耀.所有的门徒都会像月亮一样从Gurus那里汲取光明.

     The full moon day in the Hindu month of Ashad (July-August) is observed as the auspicious day of Guru Purnima, a day sacred to the memory of the great sage Vyasa. All Hindus are indebted to this ancient saint who edited the four Vedas, wrote the 18 Puranas, the Mahabharata and the Srimad Bhagavata. Vyasa even taught Dattatreya, who is regarded as the Guru of Gurus.
        印度年历中Ashad月(通常阳历7月-8月间)的满月之日被视为普尼那的诞辰日, 在这个神圣的日子纪念伟大先哲维阿萨(广博仙人). 所有的印度族人都对这位圣人心怀感激, 他整理了4部吠陀经, 撰写<往世书>,<摩诃婆罗多>和<薄伽梵歌>(?),而且施教于Dattatreya--他被称作Gurus的Guru.

Namste Everyone!!

I congratulate you in the festival of self-surrender,

May Guru make your heart as His meditation seat.

May God descend in you to make you loving and egoless

May the rishis of the Himalayas shower you with knowledge

May all the deities give you their power to serve humanity

Happy Guru Purnima 2010 !!

 

         We are blind having these eyes. These eyes are totally dependent on light. The dependent things cannot give independence. If you are walking in the street at night and if you lose your precious ring and unfortunately the electricity goes out and you have no light, what will you do? You are stuck. How can you search?  At that time, you feel yourself physically blind. All your actions would be like a blind man’s. All people are searching for things in the same way. Also people do not know what they are searching for. If someone is searching for a car, after getting it he will not be satisfied, his desire will be bigger. We need a person who can guide us on how to search and what to search for. If we personally search our whole life without the light of knowledge, then we will misuse it. We just need light. Guru gives light and nothing else.
        倘若没有光明,空有双眼,我们还是盲人.依附之物是无法独立存在的.设想你走在黑夜的街道, 没有路灯,没有光亮, 恰巧此时戒指掉到地上,你会怎么做? 一片漆黑, 无从选择,只得像盲人一般摸索.所有人都会有相同的反应. 有的人甚至不知道自己究竟在找什么. 如果你想要一辆车,有了之后,欲望会变得更大.我们需要一位能够指引自己探寻何物又如何探寻的良师. 如果没有知识的光明而懵懂一生, 那我们或许虚度此生. 我们需要光明, 而这正是Guru给予我们的,别无他物.

         Hope everyone can find a Guru who can lead towards the right path...
         希望每个人都能找到自己的精神导师,带他走向光明之路.

Namaste Ji,
