1 The view " crow could be your fore father" puts a full stop; and where
do we go for a crow in the USA in some places?; maybe fore fathers do not
go to the USA to be born?. And shastras say the rebirth is any form from
worm to .....then why crow alone; if he has become a crow why would one do
srardham for salvation?.
2 Punarapi jananam and Punarapi maranam is life and surrender with
Moksham is death means that people never die at all so they are never born
also; means all existed at all times; but vision and recognition are at a
particular time and space; Chapter 2: TEXT 12 na tv evaham jatu nasam na
tvam neme janadhipah na caiva na bhavisyamah sarve vayam atah param Never
was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in
the future shall any of us cease to be. And one more I could think of is
that that Guru was also living with the sin only?.
3 Importance of Chandikeswarar in Shiva Temples: Lord Chandikeswarar is
a great Shivanadiyar and He will always be in meditation on Lord
Shiva. According
to the Hindu Mythology, as a young boy, he spent all his time making
lingams out of sand and meditating. One day, his father got angry and
kicked the lingam. The child got angry, and at once he cut off his father’s
leg, for daring to kick his lord. After seeing this act, Lord Shiva
appeared from the Shiva Lingam and blessed the boy, giving him a permanent
place in his temple. He also gave his father his leg back.
It is believed that Chandikeswarar forever lives in a state of deep
meditation. It is believed that he is the one who keeps records of who visits
to the temple and also takes care of the properties of Lord Shiva.
Lord Chandikeswarar
one of the Eshwaras like Nandhi, Shani and Ravanan. He is also considered
as one of the symbols of Lord Shiva like Nandhi, Vibuthi, Rudhraksha and
Vilva leafs. Also He is one of the principle deities that go on procession
during the Brahmotsavam. The group of five deities is ceremonially taken
out of the temple during the festive periods. They are collectlively known
as ‘Panchamoorthies – (Five Idols)’ namely Ganesha, Subramaniya,
Somasakandha, Goddess or the Amman and Chandikeswara. A separate shrine of
Lord Chandikeswara is found in all the Shiva Temples just near the water
spout (Gomugam) and it is said that one should not come in between the
shrine and the water spout. This is the reason why the shrine of
Chandikeswarar is not circumambulated while coming around the temple. He is
not offered any new clothes or flowers except for those that adorn the Lord
first. When we complete our worship in the main shrine, and get the
Prasadam by the priest, we should take the prasadam to the shrine of
Chandikeswarar and offer the same to him and then only take the same. People
normally make a common mistake in temples by making sound in front of
Chandikeswarar. Chandikeswara is always in deep penance and hence we should
not disturb him. There are 2 different beliefs and customs that are
followed while worshipping the Lord Chandikeswara. As per one of the
traditions, it is customary that we just tap our hands gently without
making noise and chant the name of Lord Shiva 3 times just to mark our
presence in the temple. It is believed that Lord Chandikeswara is the one
who keeps records of our visits to the temple. As per another mythology, it
is also said that we should just rub both our hands in front of him to
assure that we are not taking anything from the temple (Since Chandikeswara
is considered as the care taker of Lord Shiva’s Properties. In both these,
devotees ensure that they don’t disturb the deep meditation of Lord
Chandikeswara.
4 Discourse By *His Holiness Jagadguru **Sri Jayendra Saraswathi
Swamigal **Sri Sankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham*
*It is said that Guru(preceptor) is greater than God, devotion to preceptor
is more meritorious than that to God. If we ask why, the answer is that God
has not been seen by any one, But the preceptor is present here and now
before us. If a Preceptor who is immaculate and pure, full of wisdom and
steadiness of vision completely free from weakness, were available to us,
the mental peace in search of which we pray to God is at our reach by
devotion to the preceptor. Hence it is declared*
*“Gurur – BrahmaGurur – VishnuhGuru -devo MaheswarahGurur – sakshat Param
BrahmaTasmai Sri Gurave namah”*
*The Preceptor is Brahma, Vishnu, is the God Maheswara, is verily Brahma
itself. Salutation to such a Preceptor*
*In this verse it is to be noted that total identity between the Preceptor
and Brahman reality is declared. Incidentally, since in this verse both
Siva and Vishnu are clubbed together, if we prostrate before the preceptor
uttering this verse we will get the sense of the identity of Siva and
Vishnu.*
*God performs the works like creating and protecting the world. But the
preceptor does not have these responsibilities. God has an ‘office’ while
the Preceptor does not have one. is much easier to get things done by the
grace of the preceptor than by the officer God whom we will have to
disturb.*
*Whatever great and auspicious qualities God possesses, the Preceptor also
has, namely, blemishless purity, truth, devoid of deceit or dissimulation,
complete control of the senses, infinite compassion and wisdom. The only
difference is that we are able to see the Preceptor by our eyes, while God
is invisible. Hence if we begin to develop devotion to the preceptor
clinging to his holy feet we will gain with ease all the benefits that we
expect from God with effort. That is why our elders said that devotion to
Preceptor is superior in its effects than that to God.*
*However we should not forget to practice devotion to god, because we are
led to the presence and proximity of the Preceptor only by God. if the
grace of God were not operating, how could one get near the Preceptor at
all?*
*Acharya Sankara has stated in the beginning of the Vivekacudamani that
three things are hard to obtain without God’s Grace. They are(1) birth as a
human being, (2) desire to know the truth and to get liberated and (3) the
attainment of holy Preceptor.*
*“Durlabham trayameva etat devanugraha – hetukammanushyatvam
mudmukshutvam-purusha-samsargah”*
*For all people at all ages, the Preceptor is one only. He is
Dakshinamurthy.*
*“Sa purvesham api guruhKaalena-anavacchedaat.”*
*How could true knowledge have been transmitted to one Preceptor except
through Preceptor of that Preceptor except through Preceptor of that
Preceptor and so on? If we thus trace the line or Preceptor backwards, God
Himself ultimately will become the First preceptor to his first disciple.
That is why we are told not to forget God.*
*Sometimes this matter is stated in a different way. If instead of speaking
of God and Preceptor as two different persons, if we treat them as one and
the same and assume that God has appeared in the form of a Preceptor, we
need not practice two-fold devotion separately as devotion to the
Preceptor. we can consider God Himself as the preceptor and surrender to
Him totally. He will save us by His grace through the preceptor in human
form who after all is only His manifestation. Hence we are taught even at
the very outset that the preceptor is the basis of trinity of God viz.
Brahma, Vishnu and Siva.*
*“Gurur – BrahmaGurur – VishnuhGurur – Devo MaheswarahGururs – Sakshat
Param BrahmaTasmai Sri Gurave namah*
*The meaning of the above verse is used sometimes to be explained more
tastefully with reference to Sage Vyasa who is the most important of all
the teachers of the Brahma-vidya.*
*“acatur-vadano brahmaa, dvibaahur-aparo-harih;Aphaalalocanah sambhuh,
bhagavaan baadaraayanah.”*
*‘Baadaraayana’ is another name of Vyasa. He is Brahmaa without four faces.
He is Vishnu with only two hands; He is Siva without the eye on the
forehead. Such is the greatness of Vyasa-Baadadraayana.*
*There is no one greater than the preceptor. We should have full faith in
him. It should be genuine faith. if we have faith that God himself has
appeared in the preceptor’s form, then even God is not necessary. This
faith and the devotion that we nourish towards Him, will of themselves
redeem us.*
*For the Vaishnava, devotion to Preceptor is the most important and
primary.*
*If we commit and offence against God, there is no need to seeking pardon
from God himself. It is enough if the Preceptor pardoned us. God’s anger
will at once be appeased. On the contrary, if one offends the preceptor,
and seeks pardon from God, nothing would happen. God himself would tell him
that He is helpless in the matter. he will ask us to get the pardon from
the preceptor alone.*
*The Preceptor can intercede on behalf of the disciple and recommend to God
to pardon the sinner. God will never disregard this recommendation. If, on
the contrary, the preceptor is sinned against there could be none to
protect the sinner. There is a verse which tells us this.*
*“Gurur-pitaa, gurur-maataa, guru-daivam, guru-gatih,Sive-rysgte
gurustraataa, gurur rushte na kascana”*
*That is why the scriptures enjoin the devotion to the preceptor. If a
Preceptor, perfect in all respects is not available, one has to take to
some Preceptor as a spiritual guide even though he is of a grade less and
practice devotion to him and through him to God.*
*No benefit accrues to God or Guru by our devotion to them. The great
benefit is only ours. What is that?*
*We have impurities and are fickle-minded. We are not able to fix the mind
in one point even for a second. Only when we set our thought on one who is
ever pure, is full of wisdom, is constant and inflexible like a dried wood,
that state of immutability will be won by us also. We will become the same
as He. The object of our thought need not necessarily be God. It may be any
object or any person whom we consider to be possessed of such spiritual
qualities as those of a Preceptor. We will become one with Him. Only when
the mind stops to wander, self will shine forth. That is, we will know our
true nature of bliss. Devotion to Guru or God is indispensable for the
restraint of the mind.*
*In the Chandogya Upanishad itself it is declared that only by the grace of
the Guru true knowledge is possible. It says “aacaaryavaan purusho veda”
(only one who has a Preceptor, gains true knowledge).*
*It puts the idea in the form of short story.*
*A man belonging to Gandhara (now known as Kandahar) was kidnapped by some
dacoits and was abandoned blindfold in a forest. what will be his
predicament? How could he return to his country not knowing where he was?*
*Similar is the case with us. Maya, the deluding power, has left us
blindfold in the world. In the above story, some wayfarer happens to come
on the way in the forest. He removes the blind and instructs him on the way
back to Gandhara. The poor man follows the instructions and reaches his
place.*
*Similarly, we are now blinded by ignorance and can, following the
instruction of the Preceptor, get our ignorance removed and attain release.
This is the parable in the Chandogya Upanishad.*
*Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada, renowned as the world teacher (Jagadguru), sings
the praise of the Guru everywhere. He asked “What if one has all the
glories? What is the use of it all if his mind is not bound to the lotus
feet of the Preceptor?” He asks “what if?” not once, but repeatedly. In the
poem Gurdvashtakam (consisting of eight verses), he asks as a refrain at
the end of every line “What if” in all the 32 lines.*
*And also in the teaching just on the eve of his casting off the mortal
coils he commands; “Take to a Preceptor who is a savant and is pure. Then
do service at his holy feet every day. Seek the instruction on Brahman,
symbolised in the single syllable Om! Listen to the Mahavaakyas of
Upanishads!”*
*“Sad-vidvan upasrpyatam pratidinamtatpadukaa sevyatam brahmaika
akasaramarthyatam srutisriri-vaakyam samaakarnyataam.”*
*There is no parallel to the Guru. He may be compared a philosopher’s stone
which turns the base metal into gold. But even this comparison is not Quite
correct because the philosopher’s stone turns base metal only into gold. it
does not transform that metal into another philosopher’s stone. But the
Preceptor turns even the dullard into a wise sage like him. ( and this
defines who is a real guru) { Noty all who claims to be}. *
*When we look at the line of the Preceptors one by one, and our
Paramacharya, the doubt deepens whether there could be any one comparable
to him. We should contemplate on the Paramacharya not merely as a God
walking amidst us but the Supreme non-dual Brahman who is beyond all
difference and determinations. **Narayana Narayana **(Source:
