gurur brahma gurur vishnu
gurur devo maheshwarah
guru saakshaata parabrahma
tasmai shri guruve namah

From Brahma's forge, the Guru's form is cast,
A sculptor of the spirit, meant to last.
Vishnu's grace, a flowing, tender hand,
Nurturing the soul across the shifting sand.

Maheshwar's power, a celestial fire,
To burn away the dross, and lift us higher.
The Guru stands, a mirror to the light,
The absolute, unveiled, in purest sight.

To that bright guide, I bow my humble head,
Where Truth resides, and all illusions shed.
To that bright guide, my silent reverence now,
Before the holy, consecrated vow.
