GURUPURNIMA 2015 31 of July

GURUPURNIMA - The day we celebrate the Guru  ( 31-7-2015 )

Gurupurnima is celebrated on The Full Moon Day in the month of Ashadha (July- August). This day also signifies the very first transmission of the Science of Yoga by 'Shiva' , the Adiyogi or the First Yogi, to the Saptarishis, (the seven celebrated sages).

'Guru' in Sanskrit is translated as 'dispeller of darkness'. Guru dispels the darkness of ignorance of his disciple and leads him on the path of enlightenment. Gurupurnima is the day when the disciple offers his gratitude to the guru and receives his blessings.

This year (2015 it is celebrated 31 of July

The mantra of Guru:
Tvameva Mata Cha Pita Tvameva    
Tvameva Bandhu Cha Sakha Tvameva
Tvameva Vidya Cha Dravidam Tvamev
Tvameva Sarvam Mam Deva Deva

Meaning
“You alone are my mother, you alone my father;
You alone are my relative, you alone my friend;
You alone are my knowledge, you alone my wealth;
You are everything to me, Oh Lord of Lords, you alone!”

Wish you all a very blessed Gurupurnima 2015.

Attachment to the body - Teachings of Babaji

2 FEBRUARY 1983

During His Evening Bath :

All my body is meant to dry up one day, so don't care to put too much oil on it. 

This body is here only to serve people.

All the living beings, animals, flowers, plants, and stones have been given a form by God 

and this body has been given by God to perform a duty in this world. 

So even my own body has come only to perform a duty and to serve all human and living beings.

But when human beings come in this world, they forget their duty.

They fall into the attachment of maya and into the concepts of "me" and "mine" and so they forget God.

Teachings of Babaji

Fire of Transformation (my life with Babaji…) by Gaura Devi.

Fire of Transformation (my life with Babaji…) by Gaura Devi.

15 June 1978

I am enchanted by Babaji’s flexibility and His ability to adjust to each person and every situation.

When dealing with the local village people He can be extremely down-to-earth, becoming one of them, a poor mountain person, talking about stones and potatoes, sharing their simple problems and most of all teaching them about honesty. Then when He is relating to the sophisticated people who arrive from the big cities, Delhi or Bombay, He transforms Himself into an oriental prince, beautiful and worldly.

With women He plays the seductive man, with us Westerners He is the severe Master yet full of love, with children He is youthful, tender, an ineffable mother/father figure.

His endless play and kaleidoscopic ability, His magical transformations, it all continually fascinates me; it’s as if He constantly adopts many different forms in order to help us, coming down to our level of understanding in order to take our hand and lift us one step higher, towards Him.

An ancient Sanskrit prayer says: ‘Oh Lord, Your play in human form is most strange and mysterious.’

The bridge that exists between Him and ourselves is His continuous, infinite love.

30 January 1979

The Indian devotees adore Him, contemplating the Divine in Him, touch Him, prepare special food for Him; Indian women spoil Him in a tender motherly way and He allows them to play with His body as if He were a doll, dressing it up and adorning it.

Through adoring Him, we are adoring a symbol of ourselves, something which each of us would like to be, our own divine Self.

Babaji is a skillful Master working on our projections like an accomplished psychologist.

He allows us to play for a while, indulge ourselves in our attachments or desires a little, but sooner or later they are denied us, refused and He forces us back again onto ourselves, even rejecting us.

It is not uncommon to see Him suddenly tell somebody to leave, sometimes quite harshly, unexpectedly, without any apparent reason.

I feel He is particularly hard with the people from the West, not allowing them to remain here for a long period of time.

Also the game He plays out with the women is another teaching.

He always mirrors the feelings we have right there in front of Him, what we really are, although we don’t always recognize it immediately ourselves; and yet in a moment or two He can transform and elevate us.  

 He gives of Himself unconditionally.

EXPERIENCES WITH BABAJI AFTER 1970

EXPERIENCES WITH BABAJI AFTER 1970

Whenever Baba sat in meditation in the cave, a brilliant beam of light would issue forth from the temple high on the hill and shine down over Baba´s head. At other times, such rays would also shoot out of Baba´s eyes and strike the Shivalingam inside the cave. These phenomena , incidentally, were not witnessed by me alone.

There are a number of people still alive today in the village who also saw them and can testify to the truth of these experiences.

On the cold and dark winter mornings in December (1970) Baba would bathe at about 4 am and stay an hour in the water. A ray of light, which had to be supernatural, would appear and shine its reflection on the water. I know because I used to sit nearby at the river´s edge and watch it every morning.

Once I accompanied Babaji on a climb up mount Siddeshwar, which is about four and a half kilometers east of Haidakhan and we spent the night on the mountain.

Mount Siddeshwar

Soon Baba became absorbed in dhyan (meditation) and seemed to go deeper and deeper (samadhi). The most exquisite light began to effuse from his body and caused it to glow. The sight of divine effulgence struck me so deeply, that I trembled with awe and wonder.

When I first met Baba, he called me by my name which took me by complete surprise. I asked him: "Lord, how is it you know my name?"

And he replied: "Your father was a great devotee of mine; you were not even born then." He went on to describe our house, the kinds of trees surrounding it, the types of crops growing in the field, as it was when my father was still alive. I later told my mother about all this and she confirmed everything he had said, down to the smallest detail. She too is alive today and can verify the truth of this incident.
