Shri Guru Paduka Stotram

The Guru can grant us everything - from the most mundane to the highest. His glories are infinite and his position, especially for a spiritual seeker, is supreme. Then what to speak of the glory of his padukas that serve him always, and which represent all that he stands for - Truth, God, knowledge, divinity and virtues. Shri Guru Paduka Stotram is a hymn that enumerates 25 glories of the padukas of the Guru. Swami Tejomayananda, with words soaked in devotion of his own Guru and the entire lineage of Gurus, expounds on these glories in a though-provoking and heart touching way. Reading, reflecting and revelling in this hymn will surely bring all that is promised.

The one infinite Truth (tattva) itself, is God, Guru and the Self. The Sadguru leads us to the Guru tattva within and the grand Realisation of the Truth. Swami Tejomayananda has picked up 108 ever fresh flowers from the spring-time garden of the Scriptures and strung them into a beautiful garland of names – Shri Guru Tattva Namavali – as an offering in praise of the Guru tattva. The commentary on them makes its chanting and offering in worship, meaningful and joyful, and its reflection and meditation, subtle and Blissful. It is sure to invoke the grace of Guru in our lives.

Shiva is the Truth. Siva is God. Shiva is the Trinity – Creator-Sustainer-Destroyer. Shiva is the consort of Parvati. Shiva is the Guru.

Swami Tejomayananda’s beautiful commentary fills our minds with auspiciousness (Shiva) as we read, remember, chant, study, reflect, worship and meditate on Shiva.

"Shiva does not spell religion. Shiva spells responsibility -- our ability to take our very life process in our hands.'' -- Sadhguru 'Shi-va' is 'that which is not', a primordial emptiness; Shiva is also the first-ever yogi, Adiyogi, the one who first perceived this emptiness. Adiyogi is symbol and myth, historic figure and living presence, creator and destroyer, outlaw and ascetic, cosmic dancer and passionate lover, all at once.A book like no other, this extraordinary document is a tribute to Shiva, the Adiyogi, by a living yogi; a chronicle of the progenitor of mysticism by a contemporary mystic. Here science and philosophy merge seamlessly, so do silence and sound, question and answer--to capture the unspeakable enigma of Adiyogi in a spellbinding wave of words and ideas that will leave one entranced, transformed.

Shrimad Bhagavat is renowned as one of the greatest compositions in Sanskrit Literature. The 18th Purana composed by Maharishi Veda-Vyasa, it stands unparalleled in its distinct and resplendent exaltation of devotion to God, revealing throughout the quintessence of Vedantic teachings.

This spring of devotion leads one to satsang, to the Guru and to teachings that unveil one's essential nature of Brahman.
