The lotus feet

There are different reasons why the metaphor of a lotus is used for the feet of Sri Guru:

 

-The lotus is, of course, beautiful.

 

-I’ve heard that the shakti of the spiritual master resides in his feet.

 

-Also it is said that when bees forage from lotus flowers they produce a very special honey, padma madhu. According to Ayur Veda, this honey, when applied to the eye, clears up a certain disease that causes blurred vision. In the same way, taking shelter of the lotus feet of the Spiritual Master clears our material vision so we can see clearly, the path of devotion.

(This I heard in a class by HH Gour Govinda Maharaja.)

 

Always take shelter at the divine lotus feet of our beloved Guru Maharaja!!
