Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 23-08-2007

There are a couple of questions I would like to answer. Firstly, the doubt is if there are any rules to be followed for ‘Nama smaranam’. Or repeating the name of God and if there is some specific time when it should be done.There are no regulations regarding ‘Nama smaranam’. It can be done always and at any time in whatever work you happen to be engaged in doing.Secondly, is it compulsory to purify our body and mind before going to pray to God? Generally it is beneficial to cleanse ourselves before going to a temple or prayer room. But it is not mandatory. It is important that whatever the situation we find ourselves in; we must surrender ourselves to God. When we prostrate before him thinking of Him as Mother or Father, He will cleanse us. Though it is a typical quality of a Mother to clean her child, we should not forget that God is far greater than any mother.{Translation of Gurunathar’s Divine message given to and read by Guruji Shri.K.V.Narayanan}Gurunathar’s Divine Message – Moolam Pooja ~ 23-08-2007There are a couple of questions I would like to answer.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 27-07-2007

Why does the past of the previous birth affect the present birth? We are told to forget the past. Can we say that if we forget the past our karma is lessened? Is it true?

Dear friends we must think about this clearly. What you sowed in the past decides what you have to reap today. Even if you have forgotten what you sowed, the harvest will be good if you have the grace of God. Without His grace the crop will die. This being so, it is clear that the past decides the present or future. Whatever the Karma , be it of the past present or future you should have the strength to bear with it. To gain this you should follow God’s path. If we live the way God wants us to live we shall be very strong. At birth we forget our previous life. If you realize the present is the result of your past then I assure you everything will be balanced through God’s grace. Birth and death is by God’s decree. How we live is decided by our karma. Generally God does not interfere with our karma. Still your destiny might be changed if you are fortunate enough to earn the grace of God. With this knowledge seek the holy feet of God and surrender to Him. If you do this with awareness you will clearly see the path you should follow and I can tell you that life will definitely change for the better.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message – Moolam Pooja 02-06-2007

As my great gift to you on this birthday I bless you that you will be able to overcome the cycle of birth and death which will be solely due to the Grace of my Lord Shiva. By the grace of my lord I have revealed all the ways to achieve this through the Thirumandiram. Those who practice these teachings in their lives consistently can reach the state of Moksham after this life and become “Jeevan Mukthas” even during this birth. “Is this possible in this modern age?”. I heard this question. Yes it is! Even today there are several Jeevan Muktha’s walking amongst us in the city. Avatars have been born. The sage Naradar who inspired devotion to Lord Narayanan has also been born and is eleven years of age.They have come to protect you from the cruelties of Kali Yugam and the final pralayam.
Before the Kaliyugam ends, those who practice Vasi Yoga (watching their breath) and follow the ways of living laid down by Lord Shiva will be protected during the pralayam. I also proclaim that during Moolam poojai several divine revelations will be given.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 06-05-07

I would like to explain here how you can gain Divine grace as someone has asked ‘Malaipol Nambinom’ what does this actually mean? This is easy. The mountain does not refer to the height it refers to weight and mass. Unshakeable and indestructible faith is what it refers to. There is another way of expressing it. ‘I trust you as I would God’.
By standing on top of a mountain I become aware of how small I am , so in this state, it will feel that the faith I have in you is like the faith I have in God. In the same vein, I would also say that my faith in you was unshakeable as a mountain. Similarly man’s faith in God should be unshakeable for him to earn Divine grace.

9-4-2007 அன்று நடந்த மூல நட்சத்திர பூஜையில் குருநாதர் கூறிய கருத்துக்கள்:

தெளிவு குருவின் திருமேனி காண்டல் எனத் துவங்கும் அந்நான்கு வரிகள் படித்து நன்றென அவ்வரிகளின் எளிமையை இரசித்தோரும் உண்டு. இருப்பினும் இதன் முழுமையான அர்த்தமும் எவ்விதம் செய்தல் வேண்டும் என்கின்றதும் அறியா நிலையில் உள்ளனர். இதனை யாம் இங்கு எடுத்துரைப்போமாக.

குருவும் தெய்வமும் வேறில்லை என்கின்றதை முதலில் உணர்தல் வேண்டும். நாம் வணங்கும் தெய்வமே குருவின் வடிவில் நம் முன் நிற்கின்றார் என்பதையும் மறப்பது நல்லதல்ல. யாம் வணங்கும் சிவன், கிருஷ்ணன், விஷ்ணு, அம்பிகை என்ற அனைத்தும் குருவுக்குள் அடக்கம் என்பதையும் மறவாது செயல்படுத்துதல் வேண்டும்.

மேலும் குருவை எவ்விதம் வணங்குவது? என்கின்ற ஓர் வினாவும் இங்கு எழும்பிடக் கண்டோம். குருவின் ஆத்மா அவருடய ஆன்மிக சக்தியை நாம் நேசிக்க வேண்டும் என்பதில் எவ்வித குழப்பமும் இல்லை. இவ்விதமிருக்க நாம் குருவாக வேண்டும் குரு நாமாக வேண்டும் என்கின்ற ஐக்கிய மனப்பான்மையை வளர்த்தல் வேண்டும். இதனைச் செய்யும் முன் குரு எவ்விதம் இருக்கின்றாரோ அவ்விதம் நாமும் மாற முயற்சித்தல் வேண்டும். இந்நிலையை எவ்விதம் அடைவது என்றால் குருவை எண்ணித் தியானம் செய்தல் வேண்டும். செய்திடும் முன்னதாக கால் தொட்டு சிரசு வரை அங்கங்களை நாம் தொட்டு அவை குருவின் அங்கங்களாக கருதி வணங்கிட்ட பின் குருவின் செய்கைகள் குருவின் தன்மைகள் அனைத்தும் நன்கென தியானித்து மனமதில் நிறுத்தல் வேண்டும். இவ்விதம் சில மாதங்கள் செய்கின்ற போது நமக்கு மகத்தான முன்னேற்றங்கள் குருவழி கிட்டக்கூடும் என்றும் விளக்கிட்டோமே.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message – Moolam Pooja 12-03-2007

I would now like to speak of something before the explanation of Thirumanthiram. It is connected to the text:

Thelivu guruvin thirumeni kandal
Thelivu guruvin thirunamam cheppal
Thelivu guruvin thiruvarthai ketal
Thelivu guruvin sinthithal thane

Many have appreciated the simplicity of language in this verse. Still to fully benefit from saying it, listen to my explanation. There is no difference between God and your guru. We must remember that God stands in front of us as our Guru. Whether it be Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna, Maha Vishnu or Ambigai they are all present in your guru. Then how should we relate to our guru or behave towards Him. We must love the guru’s soul and his spiritual strength. Let there be no confusion here. We must identify completely with him and we must become one with him and him with us. But before this we must try to become like him in nature. To achieve this we must meditate on him. Touch your own feet and feel mentally that they are the guru’s feet. Touch all your body thus and go upwards till the crown of the head. Then think of his acts and his qualities contemplate on them so they form a deep impression in your hearts. When you have practiced this for several months you will find that because of your guru’s grace you have progressed well spiritually.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 20-12-2006

There is no particular subject for discussion today. Yet there is so much to say! I would strongly proclaim the truth “The world around us and all that is within our immediate observation is illusion; that which is not manifested in the physical realities around us is the ultimate truth – It is God”. If someone were to ask me “Is there rebirth?” I would reply, “Yes, there are countless births through which you pass. And these are caused by our karma- good and bad”.Our good acts help to reveal the path we should follow, while our bad acts hinder our progress and create pot holes on the path. God has blessed man with the power to think [as compared to rest of His creations]. It is His duty to live with discrimination. The results of harmful karma can be erased by good acts, by meditating on God and by devotion to God. The evil that is experienced due to harmful karma can be eradicated thus. When your good acts bring you happiness you find heaven on earth. When your wrong acts bring you unhappiness you live through hell in the same world. When you have broken the bond of experiencing the result of your karma – good and bad you reach the feet of god. This is in the mid-point between the sun and the moon.
Guruji’ explanation:
“The Sun and the moon being your two eyes and also the Idakala and Pingala, the Agnya chakra is the mid-point on which you can meditate and experience the presence of God”.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 23-11-2006

In response to the question as to which is the more satisfactory path to reach God- the Yogic method or the Bhakthi Marga, I responded as follows: “This is according to each individual’s capacity. This consists of (1) Your Physical strength (2) whether you have the time to put in intense effort (3) Your karmic state and the spiritual level attained in your last birth.

If one has to travel, he travels by plane or train, bus or even by walk according to his financial standing. Similarly the path you choose depends on your spiritual standing. You do not need to make any special effort to find it out. Whatever is destined for you, accept it wholeheartedly and be steady in your efforts and strive for success. Follow this path, and you will succeed.

Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 27-10-2006

I would like to contribute something extra. In the present state of the world human beings have a particular habit. If others are in a good state, they want to reach the same state and even become a little envious of them. I would like to say that this should be avoided. We should convert this tendency into a positive one. We must see the virtues in others. And if we don’t have them we must inculcate them in our lives. This is not sufficient. See if we have the bad qualities of others, we must remove them from our personalities. This is the proper utilization of the practice of comparison. If you must fall prey to this habit convert it into positive one. These days much importance is attached to wealth, intellectual prowess and social status and these influence the comparisons that are made. This is something undesirable. Little by little you must change this habit and instead try to become better human beings by positive comparisons.
