Divine Guru
To the Lord, I bow, At Your feet, I bow
Guruji! At Your feet, I bow . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
All sixty-eight places, for Your feet, pilgrims do seek.
The quest of sages and gods ends here at Thy feet.
In their songs, the angels, Your glory avow . . . . . . . . . . . .
Everyday, Brahma pours His love with a round fan.
At Your door Vishnu sing 'Guru' His dance began.
At Your holy feet, Lord Shiva sits right now . . . . . . . . . . .
You, Yourself, have appeared as truth and divine light:
All the holy scriptures proclaim of this very sight.
Giver of knowledge, all truth You do endow. . . . . . . . . . .
To His disciples, the Guru, His seat to give:
Then He places the dust of their feet upon His head!
Unconditional love, the Master shows us how . . . . . . . . . .
In human form, all this earth, You do cover.
Help mankind, oh "Kripalu" You are our lover.
Bestow fearlessness to our seeking, somehow . . . . . . . . . . . .
Brahmeshwara Aarti transliterated
Do not get Diverted from the Lord
Forever Kindle the Flame of Faith
I will even die for You, my Lord
The Highest Spiritual Practice
You are the Doer, Oh Lord, not I
