अस्मदाचार्यपर्यन्तां वन्दे गुरुपरम्पराम् ॥ sadāśivasamārambhāṁ śaṅkarācāryamadhyamām |
asmadācāryaparyantāṁ vande guruparamparām || Eu saúdo a linhagem de mestres que se inicia com o sempre auspicioso Deus Śiva,
passa por Śaṅkarācārya e se estende até o meu mestre.
The Guru-śiṣya-paramparā is the knowledge flowing in a beginningless and continuous stream unfolding the wisdom of oneself to humanity. The sacred relationship between a traditional teacher and the student allows one to learn and handle the teaching methodology in the right way.
I would like to bring light to the life of contemporary Masters who have tremendously influenced my own spiritual journey, they are and were my teachers who guided me and brought the flame of knowledge to my life. I bow to these profound teachers and place my infinite gratitude for all that I received from this Paramparā, sacred lineage.
