Monthly Congregation |
Saint
Kabir says: Guru (master) and Govind(God) are standing together whom
should I first bow my head or touch feet. Here the poet is suggesting
that we have to touch guru's (teacher or master) feet first because
it is he who taught us about the God.
On
24 July 2016, devotees of New Delhi and the surrounding areas got a
divine delight as they celebrated Guru Purnima during the monthly
congregation at Divya Dham Ashram. The attendees experienced overflow
of joy and bliss as they offered their devotion in the lotus feet of
their divine Master, His Holiness Satguru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji.
In
a disciple’s life, Guru Purnima marks the crown of all festivals.
In the heart of a disciple, it triumphs over all other celebrations.
On this day, minds are drenched in Guru’s direction and bodies in
His devotion. This day during the month of Aashaadha, according to
the Vedic calendar, is the most pious for a disciple. It is the
opportunity for a disciple to worship his master offering the
innermost and the deepest gratitude towards the Satguru.
Guru
Purnima celebration is reflection of Master’s perfection as he
flawlessly showers His loving grace, divine knowledge, and moksha,
all while dismissing aptitude of the receiver. Guru Purnima is also a
day for a disciple’s devotion and to demonstrate adherence towards
the Guru. The day is special solely for that disciple who has
solidified from within by pursuing Guru’s commandments. Connected
within through the vivacious techniques of Brahm Gyan and upon
realizing His supreme excellence in the human garb, a disciple is
able to truly perform Guru Pooja.
Way
before the early hours of dawn, the disciple dives deep into Dhyan of
the Master, carries out Pooja throughout the morning, subsequently
spends the entire day dwelling each breath with Gurudev. On this full
moon night, the disciple sings praises under the serene sheet of
stars while soaking in Guru’s godly love.
To
the world He’s just a man, but to those who know Him, He is their
entire world.
To
a materialist, Gurupuja may be seen as merely a ritual on the outside
however an awakened soul understands the depth of this sanctimonious
yearly event as one which occurs entirely within, in the deep-seated
roots of the atman (the soul).
A
true disciple reflects on the year gone by and stands witness to
Guru’s nourishing grace that leads him throughout the entire time.
This event further sharpens one’s focus towards the spiritual
goals. Furthermore, Guru Purnima gets the disciple ready for any
obstacles or hurdles that may come in the upcoming year.
Various
preachers of the organization led the masses throughout the event
with devotion filled sermons and inspirational musical hymns. Praying
for the well-being of all, disciples meditated collectively and vowed
to contribute fully to Satguru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji’s grand
mission of global peace.
