गुरुर्ब्रह्मा  गुरुर्विष्णुः   गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः ।

गुरुर्साक्षात परब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः ।।

हिन्दी में भावार्थ

गुरु ही ब्रह्मा हैं, गुरु ही विष्णु हैं । गुरु ही शिव हैं तथा गुरु ही साक्षात साकार स्वरूप आदिब्रह्म हैं । मैं उन्हीं गुरुदेव को नमस्कार करता हूँ ।

Meaning in English

The Guru is Brahma, the Guru is Vishnu, the Guru is Shiva. The Guru is the embodiment of the Supreme Brahma (the primordial deity). My salutations to the Guru.

Note

Since times immemorial, the Indic civilisation has regarded the Guru or teacher as greater than god, one who is worshipped by one and all. Guru Purnima (Full moon day of the month of Ashadha which falls in July-August)  and Teachers’ Day (5th September of every year) are two special days when Indians pay their obeisance to their Gurus and teachers and bow their heads in gratitude and reverence.
