"Sadguru is the one, whose one glimpse alone is enough to fill your heart with joy, whose one glimpse alone gives you immense mental strength and peace. Such a simple sign to recognise! No matter how foolish someone is, he too can perceive a sense of joy and peace in the presence of Sadguru. So, the one whose mere sight transforms the agitation of mind into a state of peace and calm is a Sadguru - this is the miracle of a supreme Guru. The way a lit lamp can light up another unlit lamp, a Sadguru makes the state of oneness with Brahman, evident to the disciple."
Anandmurti Gurumaa is a contemporary master who is guiding millions around the world towards their spiritual growth. Her unique way of explaining the esoteric wisdom makes it easy for even a layman to understand its inherent meaning, and on the other hand inspires the intellectual mind to explore uncharted frontiers, thereby giving everyone a chance to learn and evolve. Her thought- provoking talks not only answer questions but make one question oneself too. Question the purpose of our pursuits. Question our priorities. Question our understanding. In a nutshell, they provoke one to think in the right direction so as to let the answers unfold from within. And don't be surprised if they make you question your thinking itself!
The Guru is pivotal and indispensably paramount in the journey from the darkness of delusion to the utter bliss of enlightenment. And it is none other than the Guru who will guide you and lead you on this path of ultimate freedom.
This final resolution of the universal raison d'être is unarguably, undeniably, indubitably the highest, the biggest ever achievement for all mankind. And no one can accomplish this without the grace, the wisdom, and the compassion of the revered Guru. Such is the cardinal role played by the Guru!
These days almost anyone can be given the label of a Guru - that is the popular perception (read misconception!) by the masses at large. And now this word has been exported to the west as well, what with famous Hollywood stars flaunting their newly acquired Indian Gurus!
The fact is that the understanding of the true meaning of the word 'Guru' is as rare as the usage of this word is common. And that is why this book comes across as a much needed eye- opener that dispels all myths and misconceptions whilst simultaneously unveiling the true identity of the Guru for one and all.
And there would be no better source of clarification on this topic than Anandmurti Gurumaa, who is a master, a Guru in the real sense of the word. Gurumaa has presented a comprehensively thorough picture of who a Guru really is. She meticulously describes the attributes, defining features and characteristics of a true Guru. Not only this, but she also elucidates what a Guru is not - enabling us to detect the fraudsters that abound in plenty these days who swindle the guileless public, exploiting their blind faith to no end.
But it is not all about Gurus, this book is also about disciples. Who is a true disciple? For only one who is a disciple in the real sense of the word, a seeker, will reach the true Guru. It is said that then the disciple doesn't have to search for his master, instead the master seeks him or her out.
Furthermore, Gurumaa reveals some highly inspiring stories from the lives of such tremendously exalted Gurus like Kabir, Rumi, Milarepa to name but a few. This sheds further light on the greatness of a master and the resolute dedication of a true seeker. These stories are truly awe-inspiring and spiritually uplifting, stirring the very core of heart. They will undoubtedly provide tremendous motivation and invigorate all those on the spiritual path.
Who is a Guru? How to identify pseudo-gurus and steer clear of them? How to recognise a true Guru? What is the need for a Guru anyways? Who is a Disciple? What is the code of conduct for a Disciple? If you have any such query - well, this is the book for you, especially for you.
