Gurumayi has taught Siddha Yogis how to deepen their understanding, practice, and experience of Shri Guru Gita. The name of this Ashram is Shree Gurudev Ashram, it is dedicated to Gurudev, and we chant Shri Guru Gita. Just today, we have started reciting Shri Guru Gita in the morning…. On January 7, 1972, when Baba established the recitation of Shri Guru Gita as part of the Ashram Daily Schedule, he said: Baba subsequently included additional verses from this section of the Guru Charitra to create the version of Shri Guru Gita recited on the Siddha Yoga path. Baba was immediately drawn to the depth and beauty of this scripture and began reciting it. This text includes a version of Shri Guru Gita attributed to Shri Skanda Purana. In 1951, while Baba was performing sadhana in Suki, in the Indian state of Maharashtra, he read the Guru Charitra, a sixteenth-century text on the life of Lord Dattatreya. Historically, more than four hundred verses have been found among the various versions of Shri Guru Gita. Verses in Shri Guru Gita have also been found in older scriptures, including certain Upanishads and Tantras. Shri Skanda Purana is one of India’s ancient books, containing stories, philosophical teachings, hymns, and guidance on how to live a virtuous life. Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati in the latter portion of Thus ends the Guru Gita, which occurs in the dialogue between Lord Shiva praises the greatness of this hymn by referring to it as “mantraraja,” literally, “king of mantras,” a supreme mantra-in verses 52, 61, 107, and 133. In this dialogue, Lord Shiva expounds on the nature of Shri Guru, the power of the Guru’s grace, the importance of devotion and service to the Guru, and the ways that the Guru leads the disciple to the knowledge of the Self. Shri Guru Gita is also a hymn, composed in traditional Sanskrit verse forms, which describes a dialogue between Lord Shiva, the primordial Guru, and Goddess Parvati, his consort and disciple. The recitation of Shri Guru Gita is an immersion in sacred sounds and a form of mantra japa. Baba teaches that reciting Shri Guru Gita is a form of svadhyaya, study of the Self. In the introduction to The Nectar of Chanting, Baba describes the 182 verses of Shri Guru Gita as “one long mantra” and extols it as “the one indispensable text” of the Siddha Yoga path.
Shri Guru Gita-Sanskrit for “Song of the Guru”-is a scripture to be studied and a mantra to be repeated. Each year Siddha Yogis honor this anniversary as an important day in the history of the Siddha Yoga path. On Friday, January 7, 1972, in Gurudev Siddha Peeth, Baba Muktananda inaugurated the daily recitation of Shri Guru Gita as a morning practice in the Ashram Daily Schedule.
