THE GOLDEN WORDS OF GURUDEVAN

Posted by SARADHI - ABBASIYA UNIT On 06:51


THE GOLDEN WORDS OF GURUDEVAN

A...Ahimsa (non-killing or no himsa) is the greatest of all virtues. One who observes the Dharma of Ahimsa is the true manifestation of goodness. One who possesses all virtues except "ahimsa" is none other than a brute.

B...Buddhists Christians Mohammedans, Sikhs, Jains, Hindus and the followers of all other Religions and sects strive to achieve a common objective Eternal Bliss As their aim is identical with all the religions are homogeneous.

C...Cleanliness is Godliness, Bearing this dictum in mind one should observe the five external and internal purities of body, mind, senses, abode and action.

D...Divine bliss, the life eternal creates supreme satisfaction to the soul far more greater than all worldly pleasures prompted by sensual indolence, which are momentary and transient With this noble goal in mind, men should surge forward for salvation.


E...Enjoying the five fruits of voice from taste, smell and touch again and again, the five birds of senses (i.e.) ears, eyes, nose, tongue and skin, living in the carge of human body emitting foul smell be conquered with the arrow of "self realization".

F...Fastening tightly the string of devotion in the bow of mind, all sins and evil deeds should be smitten with the arrow of supreme knowledge. God the supreme being is "Dharma" (Charity). Dharma is the greatest of Wealth, Dharma invariable wins. Dharma is also instrumental for the greatness of men.

H...Husband loves not his wife for her happiness and the wife addresses not her husband for his pleasure, They reciprocate their love and devotion only for the satisfaction of the Self.

I...If the ideals and ideologies of different saints, sages, and philosophers and synchronized and called as a single religion in the name of religious fonder, why not a synthesis of all religions be contemplated and called as a universal religion of religious principles common to mankind be enunciated.


J...Judging one's religion based on his faith, mental attitude, custom and culture is not the proper perspective. They are transient.

K...Knowledge is supreme Bliss : Relisation of the inner self that glows in all human beings is the true knowledge.

L...Let there be diversity of profession, nationality and language among men. But the Dharma that is inherent in the hearts of all men is "humanism" and that is the caste of man.

M...Man without compassion is tantamount to a lifeless mass of flesh emanating foul stink. Man sans mercy is like a flowers of a fruit bereft of small and desert without water.


N...Not argue and win but to know and make known should be our motto.

O...One who dwells in egoism differentiating "I" and "You", "This man" and "That man", "High" and "Low" however great he may be does not make any difference with a beast.

P...Paganists and hot heads of multifarious religions plead for supremacy of their own religion as blind men tried to establish the identity of an elephant by touching a part of the body of the elephant. Men should study all religions with equanimity, equal frame of mind, Wisdom and devotion.

Q...Quickly gest one frightened mistaking the beautiful stretch of a garland as a snake in the dim light. This is the delusion gest on "Brahma" the Satchidanandha.


R...Religion of man will find its perfection only when the cult 'Ahimsa' preached by Lord Budha Love by Jesus Fraternity among men by Mohammed Nabi and the philosophical thoughts of Rishis of India find their confluence and consummation.

S...Sublime, will it to practice the precept then to propound and preach thousands of ideologies. What experimented in action and practiced as Good, should alone be preached. Action and not preaching is essential.

T...The ship to cross the sea of life replete with sorrow and misery is the holy name and sacred feet : The commander of the vessel is thyself. Noble it will be to generate fraternity among man. All the hurdles which hamper the realisation or this goal should be cleared.

U...Unlike a common man, Sanyasi is the personification of goodness who, by renouncing his self, strives hard for the Welfare of mankind. Sanyasi is a Thiagi and a Great Benefactor.


V...View not an ideology of a master mind alone as the ideal and perfect one and accredit as the theory. This may be reckoned as the way to seek the ultimate truth of all.

W...Wealth and all activities of man should be aimed at not only for promoting the interest of himself, the society and the nation to which he belongs, but also for the successive growth and welfare of entire mankind.

X...X-Ray Photo and equipments exhibit the psychic self of a man when it impinges in him, But the everlasting bliss "The Supreme consciousness" is exhibited by the Gnana of a great Guru.

Y...Your happiness, my happiness, his happiness etc., are only a figment of imagination. There is only one happiness and that is the "supreme bliss".

Z...Zealots who renounce their self and toil hard for the enlistment of their fellowmen enter the Kingdom of God Motivated by egoism if he upholds his selfish interests only, it will immerse him ever into the burning hell.


What Great men Said About Guru

What Great men Said About Guru

“I have been touring different parts of the world. During these travels, I have had good fortune to come into contact with several and Monarchies.
But I have frankly to admit I have never come across none is spiritually greater than Swami Shree Narayana Guru of Malayalam may a person who is on a par with him in spiritual attainment.
I am sure, I shall never forget that radiant face illuminated by the self effulgent light of divine glory and those Yogic eyes fixing their gaze on a far remote in the distant horizon.”

Raveendra Nath Tagore
Sivagiri Mutt

“I feel it as the greatest privilege in my life to have visited the beautiful state of Travancore and to have a darshan of venerable sage Shree Narayana Guru. I had the fortune to say one day in his holy Ashram. Her Excellency the Regent Empress also spoke to me about the greatness of Guruswamy. I fervently hope that you

Mahatma Gandhi
1925, March 13.

“I feel very happy to come to a place where a great man lived and gave his message to the people. Where great men have lived, that place becomes a holy ground something like temple, because of their thoughts and prayers that lie enshrined there. Shree Narayana Guru lived here and from here radiated his message-the message of no cast, no division and he wanted to build up a casteless and classless society. That message is still very much needed in these days. In order to get a casteless, classless society what are we to do ? Many things have to be done. But the general approach which I presume is Shree Narayana Guru’s approach-the approach through the mind and heart and not of compulsion and coercion. Where there is not this taming of the heart and mind all other changes are likely to be superficial.

I am most happy to have come to this place to pay my tribute to his great man who lived here and spread his message from here.”

Jawaharlal Nehru
Sivagiri Mutt 1985

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Among the galaxy of erudite Saints who ennobled and enriched Indian’s cultural heritage, Shree Narayana Guru occupies a pride of place. By Sheer dint of his lofty ideals, unflinching loyalty to the canons of humanity, justice, truthfulness, ‘Bhakti’ and his utter selflessness, transparent sincerity, humility, total renunciation of mundane desires and a commanding grip over spiritual Knowledge, Shree Narayana Guru acquired a halo of His own and en-dared Himself to all strata of his devotes. Nothing gave him greater joy than to witness the amelioration of the deplorable plight of the ‘have nits’ and underdogs of human society. He was peerless in compassion for the poorer sections of the community. A purely materialistic existence divorced from the ethical and spiritual elevation of the individual is inimical to the development of harmoniously balanced, integrated human society. The spiritual leaders like Shree Narayana Guru have made valiant efforts towards focusing the attention of our people on these vital facts of deriving spiritual solace and blissful joy.”

V.V. Giri
1967 December
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Shree Narayana Guru who felt the presence of God all the living beings of the Universe, is the Philosopher of Adwaitha-Vedanta of 20th century. It is said that sanyasin by virtue of their indomitable spiritual favor and power of meditation project the World to sustain itself. Shree Narayana Guru has provided the veracity of the above statement beyond suspicion. Viewing from the above prospective, Shree Narayana Guru is none other the than the true reflection of the term ‘divinity’. His sublime Philosophy has enlightened the humanity beyond the frontiers of India. The message of Shree Narayana Gurus all more important in the present world than anything else.”


Dr. Zakir Hussain
Sivagiri Mutt-1967 December

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Shree Narayana Guru is considered as one of the five or ten Avatars that have appeared in India during the last hundred years. I had an opportunity of meeting him in the year 1925 when I had been to Kerala for Vaikom Styagraha. In those days he was residing at Varkala. There I had talked to him for an hour or two. My humble respects to the memory of this great sage.”

Acharya Vinobabhave

Glasenapp does not say anything regarding the new religious manufestations in South India which are not negligible, such for e.g. is the great influence during the past 40 years in the State of Travancore on nearly two millions of this followers (He passed away in 1928) His teaching permeated with the philosophy compared with the mysticism of Bengal, of which effusions of love (Bhakthy) inspire in him a certain mistrest. He was, one might say, a Janine of action, a great religious intellectual, who had a keen living sense of the people and of social necessities. He has contributed greatly to the elevation of the times with that of Gandhi.

M. Romain Rolland

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A great Social Reformer, a staunch Promoter of Hindu Religion, and a true Philosopher Shri Narayana Guru was a revolutionary Yogi of Kerala, Chopping of heads, and creation of chaos and confusion are not the necessary ingredients of revolution. Any sincere effort to transform of civilized life is revolution.

Dr. Radhakridhnan
1967 December
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a vision of God in human form. Shri Narayana Guru who was renown in the Southem - most of India was that "Supreme Being."

Deena Bandhu C.F. Andrews
1922 November 15
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During recent centuries no one in India has enjoyed so much reverence as Shri Narayana Gurudev commanded, a reverence so glorious so enduring, so comprehensive, so universal and so pure. Like the sun, by mere presence, he spread his light and love...... His life or renunciation has shown to numerous people the secret of the path of dedicated service or Karma Yoga. Rishi Narayana who has awakened Kerala patanjali in Yoga, Sankara in wisdom, Manu in the art of Government, Buddha in renunciation, Muhammad in strength of sprit and Christ in humility, after 72 years spend in the drama of human life has gone to whence he came......For future generations he will be one of the divine personalities among the incarnations of God and the superhuman beings of India's religious.

Theosophical Society
1928 September

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shri Narayana Guru had not much to talk to me. For he was the "Mahatma" Of high intellectual Supremacy.

Ramana Maharshi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can India rediscover Her Heart? Can Religion a Philosophy of the Upanishads help us in meeting the challenges of our Nation? Can they rediscover our moral balance? All these burning questions are answered in living life by the Sivagiri Ashram. May his blessings be upon all of us, Gurudev was the personification of love as Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha.

DAIVADASAKAM (Ten Poem of god ) by Narayana Guru
DAIVADASAKAM
( Ten poem of God ) 

From the most high, O Divine,
protect us here,
do not leave us.
you are the navigator
of this ocean of ephemeral becoming,
and (to us) your name is a mighty steam ship.

Counting one by one, when everything perceivable is done with,
the n the seeing is steadied; even so,
let the inner self attain its rest in you.
Ever having given us food and clothes
and providing for all such needs,
making us rejoice in our contentment,
You are our only Lord.

As ocean, wave, wind and dept
Let us within see the scheme
of us, nescience,
your glory and you.
You are that fact of creation, the creator
and the myriad variety of what is created;
Oh god, are you not the very stuff of which everything is created?

Are you not Maya, the wielder of maya
and also the rejoicer in maya?
Are you not the True one who,
having removed maya, grants the supreme Union.
You are existence, knowledge and the endeared value;
you yourself are the present, the past and the future
When considered, You are none other
than the articulated world also.

That state which fills, inside a well as outside,
Brim fully with Your glory,' We adore That,
Blessed God of Goodness,
Hail, victory to You.
Victory be to you, God of gods'

Ever intent on saving those in need.
Victory be to you, Blissful intelligence
through and through
Hail, Oh! Ocean of Mercy.
In the deep ocean of Your glory,
Immersed, let us all become
There to dwell, dwell everlastingly
In Felicity Supreme!
