Salutations to the Guru

Jan 20th, 2007 | By | Category: quotes

Adi Shankara, widely considered one of the most important figures of Indian intellectual history, begins his Gurustotram (Verses to the Guru) with the following Sanskrit Sloka:

Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu Guru Devo Maheshwara
Guru Sakshath Parambrahma Tasmai Shri Gurave Namaha

Listen!

Meaning:
Guru is creator Brahma; Guru is preserver Vishnu; Guru is also the destroyer Siva and he is the source of the Absolute. I offer all my salutations to the Guru.
