Guru Ashtakam – In Praise of the Guru by Adi Shankaracharya.

Adi Shankaracharya was an 8th centruy Indian saint. Shri Mataji referred to him as a great Realised soul who wrote about the Kundalini and praises to the Holy Mother. The Guru Ashtakam is recited to Shri Mataji in the video below as She arrives for Guru Puja.

“…the principle of Guru resides in the Void.”

HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Guru Puja – The Gravity of Guru Principle, Ansalonga, Andorra 31st March 1988.

“Today we have all gathered here for worshipping your Guru. As you know that the principle of Guru resides in the Void. This is the principle which gives you balance, which gives you a gravity. The gravity that we have in the Mother Earth is expressed through your Guru Principle.

The first point of gravity is that you should have a personality, a character and a temperament [such] that people would see that you are a personality who doesn’t get dissolved into worldly things. It’s a personality which doesn’t get ruined by the skirmishes of life. Is the personality of a guru which sits down deep into his being and is not easily disturbed or dissolved by any solvent whatsoever. This is the first principle of the Guru – is the gravity.” – HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
