SHRI GURUCHARITRA-Chapter 30


Om Sai Ram Readers, In the previous post you read, the power of bhasma(holy ash).Trivikram asked shri guru how chandala(demon) got knowledge.Shri guru said he got knowledge because i sprinkled bhasma on chandala.One who applies bhasma gets the knowledge of a brahmin.Shri guru then narrated a story of Mahayogi named vamadeva(who was none other than god dattareya).He used to apply bhasma to his body.Once a demon came to eat him.As the demon held vamadeva, some bhasma from his body gets rubbed onto his body.His sins were washed away.He then bowed to vamadeva and said i am enlightened with your contact, i met you due to my good deeds in previous birth.Vamadeva then gave him bhasma purified with shiva mantra.Demon applied bhasma on his body and his body was converted into heavenly body.Guru's power is beyond our imagination and no mantra is successful unless it is blessed by a Guru. That is why no salvation is possible without the Guru. He is the liberator and the protector.To read the previous posts in detail,Click the links below:
