Mansik Puja to Vishwaguruji
A guided meditation for a spiritual teacher's birthday, performed mentally by disciples who cannot be physically present.
Visualize the teacher seated before you. Perform a mental worship: apply sacred mark to his feet with a chant, light an imagined lamp, and perform ritual circling with it. Offer flowers, make full prostration, and ask for forgiveness. Feel the teacher's hand blessing your head, transmitting light and power. Offer him imagined food. Express profound gratitude for his incarnation, work, and guidance. Pray for peace, happiness, and steadfastness on the path. Pray for the teacher's health and strength, stating that while he can heal all, your prayers and love are what sustain him.
"Visualize in your heart that he is sitting in front of you, and we are sitting in front of him."
"As a guru, Gurudev cannot fix himself. That is going against the laws... But our prayers and our love are the only things that can give him the strength."
