Guru Mantra (Buddha Bar version)

I have no formal Guru in my life, but have learned from many. Today is a day of thanksgiving and gratitude to God and each one of them. I feel I am blessed; I truly appreciate all that I have got, from my heart. Thank you!

Guru is verily the representative of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
He creates, sustains knowledge and destroys the weeds of ignorance.
I salute such a Guru.

Guru can guide us to the supreme knowledge of that which pervades all the living and non-living beings in the entire Universe
(namely Brahman). I salute such a Guru.

A Guru can save us from the pangs of ignorance (darkness)
by applying to us the balm of knowledge or awareness of the supreme.

I salute such a Guru.
