Gururbrahma Gururvishnu Gururdevo Maheshwara: ||
Guru Sakshat Param Brahma Tasmai Shri Gurve Namah: ||.
The whole world knows the Guru tradition that has been going on uninterruptedly since the era of Maharshi Vyas.
A Guru is a Sadguru who removes the darkness of ignorance and leads to the light of knowledge. Without a Guru, life has no speed and no end. The place of the Guru is uniquely ordinary in our lives. The Sadguru who destroys the life of the soul and leads him to the path of righteousness, touch the iron and it becomes gold, and continue to follow the path of Parmartha by giving proper guidance for the benefit of the seeker. The Guru is passionate about the seeker. They have courtesy, cheerfulness, honesty, integrity. Yes, this is exactly what the seeker should learn from the Guru throughout his life, so that if the lamp of enlightenment of the Sadguru is kept close by, life will never be dark.
Other knowledge in life does not matter much without the grace of the Guru. We will see the supernatural work of the great luminaries who, like you, instantly assimilated all these things and paved the way for the lives of many.
Sadguru Chaitanyaswarup Bhalchandra Dattatreya Limaye (Anna) and Sadguru Lakshmiswarup Sushma Bhalchandra Limaye (Aai) both inherited Sadguru Seva and started the celebration of Gurupournima with determination at the feet of Shri Swami Samarth. At the feet of Anna's Sadguru Raosaheb Sahastrabuddhe, continued this tradition. This glorious tradition has led many devotees to the path of devotion and made life meaningful with the sweetness of Swami naam.
Devotees experienced the Atmajyoti of Sadguru with their Atmajyoti and even today this tradition is very important for the devotees to express their gratitude towards Sadguru on the day of Gurupournima.
