Gurussaakshaat Param Brahma
Tasmai Shri Gurave Namah
OM
May that Goddess - Bhagavati - the blessed Saraswati presiding deity of learning and remover of our lethargy, laziness and ignorance, kindly protect us.
She is pure and white like the Jasnmine, the full moon and the garland-like formation of dewdrops.
She is dresed in a spotless robe.
She has in her hand the auspicious instrument Vina.
She is seated on a white lotus.
She is the one who is always respected by Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, Shankara the Annihilator and other Gods.
The Guru is none other than the creator, Lord Brahma; he verily is Lord Vishnu, the preserver, and he truly is Mahesvara, the destroyer.
He is the supreme Brahman himself.
To such a Guru I offer my salutations.
