A Homa to Begin the New Phase
Today the monks begin their new phase. With Satguru Bodhinatha traveling, Paramacharya Sadasivanathaswami fills in to burn prayers to the devas and give a short talk, telling a story while alluding to the mysterious ways in which a guru will teach and uplift a seeker.
From the Tirumantiram on the Guru:
He taught me the meekness of Spirit,
Infused in me the light of devotion,
Granted me the Grace of His Feet;
And after holy interrogation, testing me entirely,
He revealed to me the Real, the Unreal and Real-Unreal;
Certainly the Guru is the Siva Himself.
