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:

SHRI GURUCHARITRA-Chapter 27

In the previous post you read, Shri guru described various sections of vedas.He said knowing only some part of vedas, how could you say that you know all the vedas.Brahmins were highly respected in the past due to the knowledge of vedas.In kalyug, they started giving up vedic path and started selling vedas.As a result, many parts are lost.Shri guru said you know four Vedas, but do you know the end of any Veda? So do not persist for discussion.Better you go away from here.Don't waste your time in vanity.Still they enforced the discusion.Seeing their attitude, Shri Guru said "You are digging your own grave".To read the previous posts in detail, Click the links below:

OM SAI RAM!!In the previous post you read, There was a cruel muslim king.He used to call brahmins, asked them to recite vedas and give them some money.He said, if Brahmins kill animals in sacrifices, then why should they blame us for killing animals?One day two brahmins came to the king and said if you have learned brahmins in your city, call them we will discuss vedas with them.No one came forward to discuss.After that they visited all places of country and then they came to kumasi and called trivikram bharti for discussion.Trivikram bharti declined and said let us go to shri guru at gangapur.
