Bhagwad Gita - Prayer to Guru (Gururbrahmaa)

Trimurti
(Bramha, Vishnu, Maheshwara)

Gururbrahmaa gururvishnurgururdevo maheshwarah;

Guruh saakshaat param brahma tasmai shree gurave namah.

Meaning: Guru is the creator (Brahma); Guru is the preserver (Vishnu); Guru is the destroyer

(Maheshvara); Guru is verily the Supreme Absolute. To that Guru we prostrate.

Dhyaanamoolam gurormoortih poojaamoolam guroh padam;

Mantramoolam gurorvaakyam mokshamoolam guroh kripaa.

The Guru’s form is the root of meditation; the Guru’s feet are the root of worship; the

Guru’s word is the root of Mantra; the Guru’s Grace is the root of liberation.
