Gurusatta Parichayam

In the world where the Guru and disciple reside, the place created for the disciple is called an Ashram, where the disciple is taught knowledge, meditation, weapons, and scriptures. The disciple is equipped with the true meaning of knowledge and dharma and also prepared for the protection of dharma. Such an Ashram is called Gurukul.

However, when it comes to the Guru, he is no ordinary person. The Guru is someone who knows the path he advises to the disciple; he walks along it himself, knowing its goodness. He diligently practices hard work with devotion, transitioning from animal-like behavior to courage, and ultimately to divine consciousness. Through passing this journey, he becomes a Guru.

Sometimes, a Guru possesses many great qualities from birth, and their inherent virtues make them great, or they may become illuminated in the presence of a divine Guru. A divine Guru transforms into a Siddha Guru, and from a Siddha Guru emerges a Veer Guru, eventually leading to the initiation Guru. The initiation Guru is the one who grants initiation to the disciple. In this world, he is known simply as a Guru. Behind the making of a Guru is the essence of Gurusatta.

When a practitioner continuously practices diligently and reaches the supreme reality, he is called a Siddha Guru. A Guru then faces two options: one is to create a worthy disciple, and the second is to attain complete renunciation and enter the Gurusatta circle. In addition to these two options, there is a third option for the Siddha Guru to promote the Gurusatta in this world.

Based on the three Gunas – Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas – three types of Gurus are chosen, to whom disciples always bow down.

It is noteworthy that: under one Siddha Guru, there are many Veer Gurus; under one Veer Guru, there are many Human Gurus; and under a Human Guru, there is a disciple imbued with animal-like behavior, who has an Animal Guru (Inner Guru). Thus, the process of making a Guru from a Guru is called Gurusatta.
