Guru Mandir

Establishment of Guru Mandir

“Dhyaneshwar Shiv Mandir”, so named, finds its meaning in the word, ‘Dhyana” (meditation). Man’s thought process, precedes his action. Noble thoughts culminate in noble actions just as base thoughts manifest in base actions.

Meditation, the masterful art of attaining control over ones thought pattern, when practiced diligently, can redirect your mind into engaging in constructive thoughts, resulting in positive actions. “Dhyana” thus

being at the very core, institutes from within, the desired transformation and makes one extraordinarily humane from being but ordinary human: the ordinary mortal

Nestled within Dhyaneshwara Shiv Mandir (Shiv Temple), are three idols. Each symbolizing specific attributes. When holistically taken, these attributes signify the journey of the individual self, (“I”),towards attainment of absolute Truth.---The ultimate salvation.

Positioned on the left is the sterling idol of “ Maa Gayatri” (Goddess Gayatri), donning five faces. Symbolizing the self (“I”), the faces denote five basic elements of “Prakriti” (Nature) which are Space, Air, Fire, Water & Earth.

Towards the right, rests the imposing idol of “Shiv Parivar”, a four member family:

“Lord Shiva”	symbolizing	Welfare.
“Maa Parvati”	symbolizing	Salvation.
“Lord Ganesha”	symbolizing	True Wisdom & strong belief.
“Lord Skanda”	symbolizing	Bravery & Leadership.

At the center, stands the Guruji’s idol, majestic in its bearing. As the mentor of us ordinary mortals, the august idol of the Guruji implies “Ashirwad” (blessings) and “Margadarshan” (guidance). The attributes mentioned here above coupled with the Guru’s blessings and guidance, completes for the man, his journey through life, set towards the ultimate salvation.
