the support and well wisher of your devotees. Glory to you !

Glory, glory, glory to you Gurudev.

Brahma[the creator], Vishnu[the preserver], and Shiva[the destroyer] are all
different forms of the Guru. The Vedas and Puranas all describe the greatness
of the Guru.Om Glory...

One can perform recitation of mantras, penance, go on pilgrimages, do other
kinds of benevolent works and millions and millions of spiritual practices,
but without the grace and support of the Guru one cannot attain realization.
Om Glory...

In the deep waters of ignorance and attachment all souls are drowning[and
unable to save themselves]. The Guru picks them up and brings all of them
inside the ship of the holy Name and thus saves them. om Glory...

Lust, anger, pride, and envy are the cunning thieves[which rob the poor soul
of its divine capital]. the Guru, with the sword of knowledge in hand, destroys
all these thieves. Om Glory...


There are many paths in this world and the followers of each path praise
their own. The Guru explains the essence of all paths and puts the disciple
on the right path. Om Glory...

For the protection from the five thieves, the Guru bestows on the disciple
the arrow of the Name. Simply offering loving devotion causes the Guru to pull us out
of our worldly ocean of sorrows.

The holy water of the Guru's lotus feet is able to remove all sins from the
disciple's mind. The Guru's words remove all darkness and doubts from the
heart of the disciple. Om Glory...

Surrender body, mind, and wealth[achievements] at the holy feet of the Guru
and thus attain the supreme bliss of Brahma and the highest seat of
spirituality. Om Glory...

It is certain that whoever recites the arati of the Guru daily will easily
cross the worldly sea of attachment and ignorance and will attain ultimate
bliss and peace. Om Glory...
