Guru Poornima. What is its significance? - Swami explains.. Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu Guru Devo Maheswarah Guru Sakshath Parabrahma Thasmai Sri Gurave Namah. The Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara are within us. That is why I often say you are not one, but three. This is the meaning of the three words Bhur, Bhuvah, Suvah in the Gayathri Mantra. Bhur means Bhuloka (earth). The earth is made up of materials. Therefore, the human body, which is also made up of materials, is called Bhuloka. This can also be referred to as materialization. Bhuvaha means life force.(Prana) It is this life force that makes the body move. It is known as vibration. Suvaha means wisdom. This is known as radiation. The Veda declares: Prajnanam Brahma. This Prajnana is nothing but radiation. Human being is a combination of materialization, vibration and radiation. You don't need to search for God outside. Turn your vision inward. There you will find God. Today is full moon day. The Veda says: Chandrama Manaso Jathaha Chaksho Suryo Ajayatha Mukhadindrascha Agnishcha. Moon is the presiding deity of the mind. That day is Poornima in the true sense of the term, when the mind is filled with pure love. Let your mind shine brilliantly like the moon on a full moon day. This is possible only when you fill your mind with love. Fill your hearts with love. There is no wealth, no Dharma, no meditation greater than love. I expect all of you to live in unity like brothers and sisters. If you become the embodiment of love, you will become divine. - Taken from Swami's Discourse on July 28th, 1999. Sai Ram
