Gurudeva Padapuja

Jai Gurudeva!

Early this morning the Aadheenam celebrated the Chitra nakshatra with our monthly padapuja to Gurudeva's granite tiruvadi in Kadavul Temple. Natyam's Mayuranatha and Rajanatha performed the abhishekam. The prana from the milk, yogurt, honey and other substances is absorbed into the point of worship to be reformed and released as blessings, easily felt by those with attentive devotion. Just one month until Gurudeva's Mahasamadhi celebrations and one can already feel the increasing potency of his warm and loving presence. Aum Namah Sivaya.

Jai Gurunathan!

\"Don\

t lean on a philosophy. Don\'t lean on a guru. Don\'t lean on a teacher. Lean on your own spine and that power within it. Then the guru can be some help to you, for you will obey his directions when he speaks. The philosophy begins to come alive in you, for you can complement it with your own inner knowing.\" - Gurudeva'

\"Make everything that you do satisfy the inner scrutiny of your inner being. Do a little more than you think that you are able to do\"

\"And, of course, if you looked into the central source of energy, what would you see? You would see light coming out of nothing. That\

s what it looks like, light coming out of nothing.\"'

\"The Self God is within all of this. It is beyond all bodies. It is beyond all form. It is beyond all intellect, beyond time, beyond space.\"

\"Each experience that we have is a good experience, because it molds us.\"

\"You have to be aware that each test is an opportunity for either failure or success, and it is all up to you.\"

\"You will mature as a bud matures into a flower, fulfilling its evolution, but it must leave behind its original shape, and open.\"

\"You have only to quiet all things of the mind to realize your identity with the eternity of God Siva, the Spirit, the eternal Self within you.\"
