The Dharma Grihasthashramis Should Uphold

Back of the Book The significance of Guruvani, the spoken Word of Navajyothi Sree Karunakara Guru is immense in this age of socio-cultural turmoil. There is nothing beyond the Guru-Word for deliverance which has flowed down from the Supreme Light. The Guru-Word is the only source to cleanse the pollution in life and help us to understand ourselves, our tradition and belief systems in a new age-specific perspective that is liberating. For the same reason, Guru said that His path is the Vimochana Matam, i.e. the Liberating Dharma of humanity. The Guru-Word provides a God-given opportunity for India to reclaim its glorious spiritual past and the long lost egalitarian guru-disciple wisdom path which transcends all differentiations of race, religion, caste, class & creed and proclaims the Oneness of God.

Foreword Guruvani or the sacred Guru-Word is profound and self-illumining. Any Endeavour to unravel its meaning through human intelligence would be a misadventure. The Guru- Word seeks to liberate individuals from the spiritual morass of ages that; continues to pollute life and vitiate the social fabric.

Beliefs and practices, when they outlive their tenure and age-specific dynamism, stifle human aspirations and arrest spiritual growth, unless renewed and reinterpreted from time to time by the wisdom tradition represented by great sages and avatars.

The punitive Word of Guru harmonizes the wisdom-tradition on of the sages down the ages and takes it to a new progressive track. The Guru-Word evaluates compassion- ately and authoritatively all historical and spiritual processes of the human race and assigns them a place of their own transcending all prejudices, racial, cultural or religious.

The Guru/Word is impartial. Unfathomable is the Guru's compassion, which embraces the sentient and insentient. The Guru/Word embodies the highest human values rising above all isms and human intellection. Be it the liberationists, dialecticians, socialists or the grey/haired scientists and philosophers, all stand spellbound before the sublimity of the Guru/Wisdom while it illumines the truth of genesis and the civilization perplexities.

The Guru/Word dwells upon the divine purpose of human life and the causes of sufferings and bondage in the life' of individuals, families and society and gives us the clue to ultimate peace and redemption going beyond all established theologies. The Guru/Word cautions about natural disasters if the true dharma continues to be forsaken and distorted. The Guru/Word originating from the Supreme Light is the panacea for all ills. It will nourish our lives with enduring peace and abundance, provided the Guru/Word is installed in the mind's altar and radiated through life in letter and spirit. The underlying theme throughout the discourse of Guru is the awakening needed for unswerving faith and devotion to the Guru/Word and to the new spiritual initiative commenced by the Will of God.
