Today is Guru Paurnima.This day we pay respect to our teachers'. The Guru i.e. teacher is among one who teach us to fill-up by knowledge. And with this knowledge we spend our lives. It is a day to remember our teacher again. In India this is like spirit, an energetic day to pay gratitude for our Guru. In Mahabharata Lord Krishna was the Guru of Arjuna.In modern India Paramahansa was the Guru of Swami Vivekanand. If we read the history of India,we find that each great person has come with one to whom he believed as his Guru. In the spiritual region we find one interesting story. Sant Namadeo had no Guru in his early stage. He could able to talk directly to Lord Vittal. He believed that he was able to talk to Lord Vittal,then it is not needful for him to accept anyone as Guru. He failed to achieve what others could get easily with their Guru. Finally he accepted the necessity of Guru and then found the knowledge i.e.God. It is still today right thing that knowledge is impossible without Guru. Many accepted one Guru and many accepted more than one Guru. Many of us learn a lesson from each and every particle of this universe. They get knowledge from it and so they accept it as Guru. We in Hindu religion accept Guru as Parabramha i.e. caretaker of all-THE GOD.
In every field Guru is required to obtain the knowledge. Guru is above God. Frist Guru and then God. So without Guru there will be no more knowledge. We can understand the importance of Guru by above lines.
When Guru is such a person who is above God then naturally question arise that without Guru,is there an absence of knowledge ? I think, to some extent there may be knowledge but it will fail to discover the final truth.
Guru is the person who sprinkles his thoughts to his students. Some collect few,some more than few and some out of all. One day, with hard way of practice,his student becomes Guru. This is what our tradition says to us.
I respectfully bow to all my gurus' who teach me a lesson with the purpose or without purpose,with harm or without harm, with the intention or without intention. I with my heart pay respect to each of you and to guru inside you.
