DEFINITION OF GURU

Guru occupies the highest place in the world next only to God. The word Guru Means dispeller of ignorence.The guru with his fire of knowledge burns down the ignorence of the disciple and lights the lamp of knowledge. So the guru is the embadiment of knowledge. A darshan of the guru is like a darshan of GOD himself.The GURU is Brahma,Vishnu and maheswarar; and even above them the PARA BRAHMAN. Having his darshan,listening to his advices, uttering his holy name and having a constant visiwon of his in our minds will give clarity to our thinking. This is not the idea of an ordinary persons; this is the sacred idea of a sage thirumoolar who expounded this after an year of penance. Let us have belief in this,seek the GURU, be raid of our ignorence and have bliss.

THE SAGE OF KANCHI

The Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam is the most ancient insitution started by ADISANKARA himself. There has been an unbroken chair of 70 Acharyas in the Peetam since its inception. Eminent Scholors and sages have in the past shed light and lustre on the Peetam. The 68th Acharya, The Maha swami Sri Chandra sekara Sarawathi Swamigal was the brighitest diadem in the lustrous chain of Peetathipatis. He was a reincornation of ADISANKARA and was regarded all over the world as a LIVING DIVINITY. People used too pour into his compassionate ears all their problems, from petty admission to schools to profound problems of life and death and would feel that they would get relief by his grace.

This sprit of Maha swmi pervades the Kanchi Mutt. Even today people pray for relief at the Brindavan as if the Maha swami still sits there. May the grace of Maha Swmai ever abide with Us !

Let as pray to him for the Universal peace.
