GuruPurnima
Today, is GuruPurnima. Let's enjoy these beautiful CHOPAIs by saint Tulsidas from "Ram Charit Manas"
"Bandau Guru Pad Padum Paraga.Suruchi Suvas Saras Anuraga.
Amiya Murimaya Churan Charu.Sakal Suman Hara Ruja Parivaru.(Quart-1)"
"Sukriti Sambhu Tan Bimal Bibhuti.Manjul Mangal Moda Prasuti.
Jan Man Manju Mukura Man Harani.Kiye Tilak Gun Gan ...Bas Karani.(Quart-2)"
These two Chaupais (Quartets) are the first two quartets of the Guru Vandana in the 'Bala Kaanda' of Sri Ramcharit Manas by Goswami Tulsidas composed in Avadhi language during the 15/16th century.
The meaning is as follows:-
"I worship the Lotus feet of my Guru,who is full of (is the abode of)the sweet nectar of Divine Love.He is like the Churna of the Sanjivani (Amar Mool)which cures all types of ailments that can afflict oneself in this world."(Q-1)
"He (Tulsidas says about his Guru) is like the Divine Vibhuti (ash) on Lord Shiva's body which cleans the Mind of a Devotee & enables him/her to reflect the Divinity like a mirror reflects light & which when applied on the forehead (Tilak) enables one to conquer all the Gunas through which this creation works."
This translation is as given in the Ramcharit Manas translation published by the Gita Press,Gorakhpur (UP).
