Sanctity of A Guru

A Guru , A Sadhu - From ancient Sanatan dharma , plays vital role in transferring true knowledge to the world .
True knowledge which they have gained from Guru thus performing Supreme meditations.

The culture is much older than we count.

Bhagwan Shiva says to Mata Parvati  - 
ॐ धन्या माता पिता धन्यो गोत्रं धन्यं कुलोदभवः| धन्या च वसुधा देवि यत्र स्याद् गुरुभक्तता || 

Guru Granth Saahib says -

Guru Gobind dono khare , khake lagu paye ,
Balihari guru aapke , Govind diyo milaye ..

A remarkable significance of Guru , however Kalyuga barricaded its importance from the minds of many.

It is evident from the history of earth , the pure saints Lord budha , Lord Mahavira , Guru Nanakji , Guru Gobind , Sant Kabir , Sant Tulsidas , Sant Mirabai none of them were kept out of the selfish targets of temporal people residing in Ignorance.

The materialism continues.Nothing has ever changed except the population of ignorants.

A huge mass simply disregard a saint because of prevailing false beliefs .

However , rest still regard them as 'Bhagvan' , reason is simple ,they receive that rare spiritual blessing of an ultimate divine love .

A ques & a thought for each one of us:-

"Shouldn't one really give a thought before marking upon Sanctity of a SAINT ".

Amritsar in the arms of winters

A cold winter day on 29th of Dec, Saturday ,we had a holy visit to Golden temple, Amritsar, Punjab. 

The exquisiteness of Golden temple has stuck in my mind and thus inspired to write.

I wonder I express the ecstatic pic in thought as a rhyme.

“A slight fog in the evening made me felt as I was walking on clouds.
I could listen to the peaceful holy tunes that sounded as melodious wows.
The Gold layer & bright lights around Temple walls, Top tomb is simply stunning.
Sited at the center of holy lake seems always shining with the water drops twinkling.”


To make sure everyone enjoys the blissful aura of temple, complete discipline is maintained .
We entered the main temple where Holy Guru granth sahib is worshiped & chanted.
The interior of temple is even more eye-catching.Entire ceiling, corrals, pillars are embedded in a pure gold, amazingly crafted & curved.
Words alone won’t suffice my description.

Next day, we visited Jallianwala Bagh .The place is known for the nationalistic history it holds & it truly urges a tribute to the martyrs.
Durgyana temple & Mata lal devi Mandir are another famous tourist spot. You would not want to miss their divinity as well.

Not to forget, Amritsari cuisine is another unmatched & delicious target to be hit here.
Check for food options & couple of famous dhabas info at http://www.hindu.com/mag/2005/03/20/stories/2005032000600700.htm

Later these visits, we than headed towards Wagah border between India & Pakistan.
Lahore, one of the big cities of Pakistan is only 23 kms away from this border.

Continual sounds of Hindustan zindabad & Jai hind with a DJ in background in a mass simply lets you sway with patriotism. Hats off to the attentive Soldiers here, serving just to make sure country men are safe enough. The march past is simply a worth to reckon.

Trip to Amritsar is simply an awesome excursion blended in Punjabi aroma ...:)
