Guru
Purnima
To honor and respect our spiritual teachers
Guru – “Gu” – darkness
“Ru” – remover of darkness
Our beloved Guruji gifted to us the Ashtanga system as we
know it today
He is the father of our lineage
Opening chant: “Vande
gurunam caranaravinde sandrasita svatma sukhava bodhe …”
“I bow to the two lotus feet of the Guru which awaken
insight into pure being…”
The practice is our guru, our lessons of life, being
present, no judgment…
Inspire, discipline, open to receive with “emptiness” (the
beginner’s mind and attitude).
Are you passionate about your practice? If so, learn and study it, eat properly, rest
It is an honor to be a student – challenge your mind
Grow and be grateful with your mind and spirit
Weekly
Message
Guru
Purnima – is an Indian festival dedicated to spiritual and academic
teachers. This festival tradionally
celebrated by Hindus and Buddhists, to thank the teachers. It is marked by ritualistic respect to the
guru, Guru Puja. The Guru Principle is
said to be a thousand times more active on the day of Guru Purnima than any
other day. Gurus are believed by many to
be the most necessary part of life. On
this day, disciples pay respect to their spiritual guides.
This week, we celebrate our teacher, Patabhi Jois and his
simple, powerful teachings that have inspired our lives. We celebrate the PRACTICE, the true teacher,
that sheds light on our paths.
I celebrate the honor of teaching. I thank each one of your for the privilege of
sharing these powerful transformative teachings with you. I am grateful every day I open the doors of
the Shala and witness your unfolding.
I feel blessed to walk next to each of you on your yoga and
life path.
Love ~ Diana
