Guru Gita
(song of Guru)
By
Lord Shiva
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(Introduction
The Guru Gita (Song of the Guru) is a Hindu
scripture that is said to have been authored by the sage, Vyasa. The
verses of this scripture may also be chanted. The text is believed to be part
of the larger Skanda Purana. There are several versions of the Guru Gita,
varying from around 100 to over 400 verses. Another view is that Guru Gita is
part of Viswasara Tantra. In the Siddha
Yoga tradition, the Guru Gita is considered to be an “indispensable text”. Swami
Muktananda chose 182 verses (http://www.babachants.com/GuruGita.pdf) to create
a unique version of the Guru Gita, which has its own melody for chanting. (from
Wiki pedia)
But I have used a version used by Sri Anna
Subrahmanya iyer (which he got from manuscript
of Sri H.S.Narasayya M.P.,Bangalore which
he got from his Guru Bhagawan ananda giri , of Swami sivananda Ashram, Rishikesh , This version has
three chapter (94+115+65=274).The book
also has a great Tamil translation which helped me a lot.
The text of the Guru Gita describes a conversation
between Lord Shiva and his wife,Goddess Parvati, in which she
asks him to teach her about the Guru and liberation. Shiva answers
her by describing the Guru principle, the proper ways of worshiping the Guru
and the methods and benefits of repeating the Guru Gita. The text also gives
the etymology of the word Guru, where the root gu stands for
darkness, while the root ru stands for light. The term Guru is
therefore explained as the remover of darkness, who reveals the light of the
heart. The Guru Gita reveals the inner workings of spiritual
apprenticeship. It presents the guru/disciple relationship as a dynamic path
that leads to a fulfilling life as well as Self-realization.
The Guru
Gita stands firmly at the crossroads of the Infinite and finite and speaks
to us from that point of intersection. It invites us to pause and reflect at
the core of a riddle that can’t be solved by the mind. It opens the heart and
stills the restless chatter of the mind through soaring poetic language,
imagery, and striking symbolism. We come to realize that the answer to the
riddle, and the peace we seek, doesn’t come through philosophizing, but through
dedication, selfless love, and meditation.
Few other English
translation of the 182 verse
version is available on line .Possibly
this is the first time the 274
sloka version is being translated)
