Spiritual Cleansing - Gurupooja at Santhigiri

(Guruvani - Sacred words of Navajyoti Sri Karunakara

Guru)

Translated from the original Malayalam

We fought one another remaining in a system which laid down that we

should not touch, step into, accept or perceive the sanctified aspect within

all performances. In that fight, varnashrama dharma was lost and the caste

system arose. The castes were also not to touch one another. All the

karmas were hit by this system. We (at Santhigiri) are taking back that

bruised karma, which many had tried in vain earlier. Santhigiris karma is

directed at reverting to the caste-less state and not at devoleping a

sanyasa cult. Nor is it aimed at tracing the root of the Indian civilization with

a view to retrieve it. It is not necessary to lift it up. Because this is Kali: The

dharma of Kali is not to step on the shoulder of the errors that have arisen

in the whole world and then revive it. Our karma as well as the dharma of

Kali is to wipe out the aspect of error.

In this karma, both the genders of householders should earn a great level.

The householder-life (grihasthashram) is a great concept wherein a

householder elevates himself (in such a manner) that through his offspring

and lineage, he acquires the intelligence to rule the world; the karma (way

of action) to impart goodness to the world or even become capable of

assuming the role of the protectors of the world or its motherhood. Without

knowing this, you live and perish as opportunists.

You dont know what God-worship is. You do not know even to act

distinguishing what is the Householder, Sanyasi, Yogi and Karmi. None ofthese karmas is now with us. Our success in life lies in retrieving them. This

is the first effort in the world (in this direction). No where else has this effort

taken place. Let it come if it is going to come elsewhere. We have reached

the stage of the humbleness of the performance of Gods creative

contemplation.

When I first reached this place for the actualization of this performance, I

was told not to stay where I could be seen by two persons together. Many

sort of things happened here at that period. The people of this place also

know some of it, but their knowing was of no avail. When I first made a huthere, I handed over its care to some local residents here. And you came in

(here) witnessing their fall. What is that fall like? These people had come

and witnessed the happenings here. Despite many events which took place

in front of them, being caught by cognitive lacking, they were distanced

(from here) forever in a manner that it is impossible for them to come back

or take it back. Some of them repent today saying that it was (their) flawed

action. However, there is no use of their saying so.

The karma now being performed here today is aimed at moulding such

offspring who can give birth to the array of deva (god), devi (goddess), rishi

(seer), sanyasi (renunciate) and jnanis (the wise) who were worshipped by

our forefathers with love and reverence. Nobody who came until now has

done this performance, for God has not ordained them for it. But God has

granted us that karma. You should realize that, but you fail to understand it

in whatever way it is said. In this institution, where more than 15,000

families performed Gurupooja, there are no people even countable by

fingers who live knowing it in that greatness. How will you then discern this

karma? Many children of this place who were once associated with this

have forgotten this. I have not told them anything. Whenever they come to

me, sometimes I try to prick them saying it like a story, but they have no

pain. Why so? Because all of us are the progeny of people who have read

the ancient tales and epics like a story and, turning that story into play,

made it into recklessness.

When it is mentioned that our subject is to correct this ignorance - what

becomes necessary is your children. But they are not able to be brought

forward because the dharma by which we worshipped, and were made to

worship with the offerings of love and wealth, is entangled with our soul.

(Such being the truth), when a girl is born, she is led away from her virtues

in such a manner that her goodness is unable to be known. When a male-


3/5

child is born, he is transformed into a drunkard in such a manner that he is

unable to know what duty he has towards the world. There is a great effort

in changing these vices. This effort in one way is good. For, at least, for

that sake, you would get in contact (with Guru) and act.

Theres a saying among us that the husband is God! Is the meaning of this

saying then a fool, who fulfilled (his life) with theft and one who has never

shown justice to anything? Does it mean an unchaste person who has not

learned to live in righteousness, living without humility and virtue, pulling

down the undergarment of women? It is all this we are creating and letting

out. How can they manage this country? What all this depravity

(depredators) cannot perform?

The Gurupooja here is the foremost karma which I am doing for this for

you. (I am) not talking about its greatness. I dont understand such

greatness. I am not leaned, great by virtue of wealth, capability or

education. God has not led me into any such things. But there is one thing.

God has granted you a suitable setting where irrespective of your status,

you can assemble. And through this, together through you and your

offspring, children are taking birth from whom will be born several great

souls who are capable to do whatever (good) for the country and indeed

the whole world. We dont know how it is made to happen.

But we do it in the Sankalpa (conception) called Sankalpamathrena

Parameswarah, whereby, after envisioning everything that has come until

now in the law of Devi-Devas - giving whatever they require (they are not

abandoned) - a way is found by the path shown by God to give them an

opportunity to take birth or make them entitled for liberation. We are

handling this exactly the way the revelation is received from God to perform

this. Its not performed, as someone might think, attracting some evil spirits

by sitting and chanting. Nor is it performed bringing a root from the places

where I spent life. I have not taken any root of others. I have not found a

suitable scenario also wherein I could take this root. There are no suitable

roots either. In fact, it is being nurtured by scraping off all these bottoms,

then burning them with fire, scooping good mud and then planting the


4/5

sapling there. What is required for it is, suitable children. You do not know

how I perform it. That is my sadness.

What I am making you do is a performance, which, by correcting the flaws

in the traditions that have come from the beginning until now in the devaand rishi lineages (trimurty and seer traditions), without exterminating the

essence of these lineages, will transform them into a great status. Then

how great should be your eminence? It is a performance in humility to bring

within you the privilege of not only ancestral souls, gods, goddesses and

rishis but even some genderless ghosts also to be born of you (for release).

Retaining the truth in that path, transform yourself as the sanctified work

emerging from that truth. This is the goal. I have no other rationale or

doctrine. I have done this for 15,000 families in this manner, but they areunable to take it. Not merely that but building up contrary attributes in their

actions, make it the cause for its destruction. There are about fifteen

households who have perished like this in this locality despite performing it

with genuine sacrifice, prayers and contemplations; rest of the families

(perished) leaving this place.

The ancestors did have (their share of) good and bad (in them). The

difficulty was great when these (the deeds of ancestors) were tried to be

eliminated. You will understand it when you reflect on the great souls of the

past, in order to realize that. But the biographies made up on them are

unsuitable for such evaluation.

For instance take Geeta Govindam. What is the purpose of making

children enact Krishnaleela? You are inflating the sensuality already

present in them, by adorning and bringing up children in this manner and

spoiling them - adding to the fulfilment of such action and taking it up. This

is what the Saktheya, Saiva and Vaishnava have done here. You cannot

change it at all. This is the fact behind the coming of so many great souls.

We dont have the aptitude to remove it through (our) lifetime. But we have

the luck.

You will not be able to find a similar thing (Gurupooja) elsewhere in the

world. Nor has it ever happened in the world. In your epics mention is made


5/5

about the Bhageerata Prayatna (the effort of Bhageerata). Bhageerata

was a king and he could do many things, but there too, not this. Here, you

are endowed with awareness in a manner of witnessing it yourself and

accepting with discrimination. God has ordained it for you. It is in the said

awareness the deva, devi, rishi, monk, jnani (seer), the devout, the pitru[ancestral souls] are all guided and placed in auspicious constellations.

Your children, after living truthfully, are entering into that constellation.

Even if you are unable to become so, it should be made possible through

your children. This is the great work that you do for the world. After

performing this (Gurupooja) for you, I am guiding you how you should live

till the birth of a progeny. (However), you do not understand that. Instead,

making your children listen and obey, describing it as some other big thing,

you are not allowing them to come in front, in (the matter of) dharma.*****
