April Chitra Puja

Jai Gurudeva!

He taught me humility, infused in me the light of devotion, granted me the grace of His feet. After holy interrogation, testing me entirely, He revealed to me the Real, the unreal and real-unreal. Undoubtedly, the Siva-Guru is Iraivan, the worshipful Lord Himself.
Tirumantiram 1573

Gathering the strands of my fetters, he knotted them together and then wrenched them off. Thus freeing me from my fond body, straight to mukti he led me. Behold, of such holy potency is the presence of my guru divine!

Tirumantiram 1574

\"Be That which never changes. Then what happens? When we become this spiritual body and grasp that infinite intelligence of it, we\

re just in a state of pure consciousness and we come into the clear white light. \" -Gurudeva'

Giving is an essential for spiritual unfoldment, for until we give and give abundantly, we don\

t really realize that we are not the giver; we are just a channel for giving. \" -Gurudeva'

\"To know yourself is why you are on Earth. You were born to realize the Self. You are not here to make money, to clothe yourself or to entertain yourself. These are incidentals. \" -Gurudeva

\"Our saints have sung that Siva is within us, and we are within Siva. Knowing that, fear and worry and doubt are forever gone from our mind. \"

\"Good people are the best teachers of good conduct, and should be sought out and heeded when we need help or advice. Talk with them, the wise ones, and in good judgment be guided accordingly. \"-Gurudeva

\"The Saiva Siddhanta perspective is that Siva\

s wonderful universe of form is perfect at every point in time, complete and totally just, and every soul, in all stages of evolution, is an intrinsic part of it, even Siva himself. \"'
