I bow before the
divine sandals of my Guru
Who is like the boat to cross this ocean of Samsar
The ocean of worldliness, of sorrow, suffering
Who inspires me to devotion divine
Which paves the way for Liberation !

jnana Yoga and Bhakti Yoga have always fought with each other ! Our aim is not to support any, but give an integral solution to the perpetual fight betwixt Head and Heart !
A well known quote is that the Heart has its own reasons which the Head need not know of. All Religions averr that Love is greater than Intelligence.
If the HIghest Wisdom is Love, we have to move from an intellect based living to a heart centred living, thus modifying the Equation Prajnanasya Nama dheyani Bhavantu Sarvam to Premasya Nama dheyani Bhavantu Sarvam. Prajnane Pratishtitam to Preme Pratishtitam and PrAjnanam Brahma to Premam Brahma !
Not only is there a fight for supremacy between VIrtue and VIce but other fights also. Beween Conscience and Expedience. Between Head and the Heart.
O Ocean of Knowledge
Before the divine sandals
Nrupali mouleebraja rathna kanthi
sariddha raja jjashakanyakabhyam,
Nrupadvadhabhyam nathaloka pankhthe, namo nama sri guru padukhabyam.
Driving away the dark sins
Papandhakara arka
paramparabhyam,
thapathryaheendra khageswarabhyam,
Jadyadhi samsoshana vadaveebhyam namo nama sri guru padukhabyam.
O Glorious One,
Who endows us
With the six virtues
Who imparts Bliss
Self Actualisation Absolute
Who imparts Love Divine
Devotion to the Lord !
Before His diivine sandals
I bow !
O Lover of the
Absolute !
