Guru puja的意思

"Guru Puja" is a Sanskrit term that combines the words "guru" and "puja." Here's what each word means:

• "Guru" refers to a spiritual teacher or guide who enlightens the student about the self and the universe. The word "guru" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "gu" meaning darkness or ignorance, and "ru" meaning light or dispeller of darkness. Thus, a guru is seen as someone who dispels the darkness of ignorance.

• "Puja" means worship, reverence, or homage. It is a ritualistic worship that involves offerings and prayers to a deity, a guru, or a sacred object.

Put together, "Guru Puja" means the worship or reverence of a guru. It is a ritualistic practice in Hinduism where the guru is honored and respected for their spiritual knowledge and guidance. The practice of Guru Puja can involve various rituals such as chanting of mantras, offerings of flowers, lights, and food, and meditation. It is a way for disciples to express their gratitude and seek the blessings of their guru.
