Guru-Tatva –III

The Grandeur and Glory of Guru-Tatva –III

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

                      sraddha means unflinching faith, intrinsic belief in and devotion for divine ideals and virtues. The inner force of sraddha makes one so firm and strong from within that nothing can perturb him from the chosen path of high ideals. It induces new strength and radiance in his personality and makes him worthy of divine grace and virtues. The sakti of Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans was bestowed upon Vivekanand because the latter deserved it; or, in other words, because his personality had that magnetism to attract the divine force.

                       The saints, the siddhas, bless the devotees and disciples according to their worthiness. Sraddha - to the extent of total surrender (of self-identity) before the noble Guru is the main criteria for the disciple’s spiritual elevation. The lives of the noble gurus - great rishis, sages and saints themselves stand as testimonies of absolute sraddha in divine disciplines and ideals. My divine Guru (angelic rishi from the Himalayas) had beatified my life on the auspicious Vasant Panchami day in 1926. If you find any siddhi in me, it is all because of my sraddha, my unconditional dedication to the noble ideals and duties set before me by him... Every breath of mine, every moment of my life is devoted to his work.

Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,

Shiv Sharma
