Jai Gurudeva...

In last post i wrote about a word ""Jaigurudeva""......

Here is what Jai Gurudeva means...

Guru is that who is wise, mysterious, profound, unknowable... and there are people like this in our lives... unfortunately they are also fairly boring and being with them for extended periods of time leaves us feeling a tad heavy...

Dev is one who is innocent, fun loving, mischievous, spontaneous... and ofcourse we know people like this too, but being with them leaves us thinking that they are quite shallow, that they have no depth

however, when wisdom goes with mischief, when depth goes with innocence, when mystery goes with spontaneity, then a great beauty dawns... this is the beauty of Gurudeva, and so when we say Jai Gurudeva! we mean victory (Jai) to both these energys... May that beauty dawn within you

lets not just be wise and boring or playful and shallow, but both together... all of us have the capability to be this... all of us have both these energys within us, Jai Gurudeva! means let both these energys blossom within you...

"May you be wise and playful!" - Jai Guurdeva!

love
Anshuman
