Gurudevi’s Audio Recording
By Joan (Jayadevi) Bragar
I want to chant along during the opening of Ashram offerings both online and in person.
I feel more part of Ashram programs when I join in the chant of Gurudevi Nirmalananda’s “Guru Mantras.” Consequently, more shakti moves through me.
This month, I’ve been working on memorizing them on my morning walk. I discovered a great resource to learn both the melody and words of these “Guru Mantras.”
On Track 5 of Spiritual Hunger & Fulfillment, I get to hear Gurudevi’s beautiful voice repeating them for a full 25 minutes. I love her chanting because it honors the source of our potential enlightenment — the lineage of Gurus. It is they from whom we learn, and they continually shower us with Grace.
If you want to learn them, listen to Track 5 on Gurudevi’s Spiritual Hunger & Fulfillment album and chant along:
Gurubrahmaa guruvishnur
gurudevo maheshwara
Gurusakshat parabrahma
tasmai shree gurave nama.h
Here is the translation:
Guru is the creative force (Brahma) & the sustaining force (Vishnu)
Guru brings an end to all things (Shiva)
Guru is the Supreme Reality (Parabrahman)
I bow with heartfelt gratitude to my honored Guru.
Let this inspire you to join in!
