ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
Guru Gita (Skanda Purana) · Traditional (dialogue of Shiva and Parvati) · Puranic
From the Guru Gita — the discourse of Lord Shiva to Goddess Parvati on the glory of the Guru — this single verse has become the universal salutation to the teacher across every Hindu tradition. By equating the Guru with Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and with Parabrahman itself, it teaches that it is through the Guru's grace that the seeker crosses from ignorance to the light of knowledge.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
It is said that the Guru's grace, invoked by this verse, can accomplish what even the gods cannot — for the Guru is the visible doorway to the formless Absolute, and a single sincere salutation to the Guru is held to dispel lifetimes of ignorance.
