Grace Of The Guru

Imagine day after day you were to study the lives, teachings and stories of a thousand saints. Not only that but you were to see and experience photographs of them radiating grace. And how do I know that they are radiating grace? Because I can see the power of the grace radiating from their photographs.

I see Auras and I find them specially strong round these thousand photos of these thousand realized masters.

Many spiritually sensitive people claim they "feel" something special when they see this particular photograph of the great sage Ramana. Kindly allow your eyes to be drawn to the eyes of Ramana. Even if you do not experience any sensation of being drawn into the quiet calmness of his eyes, you must admit that the picture is calming? Perhaps if you were to see Auras you would see Ramana's eyes radiating grace at you.

So the central idea of this blog is to show you a thousand or more photographs of self-realized gurus. The assumption is that a photograph captures the grace of the guru, perhaps better than a painting or statue would. I believe that even if you cannot immediately feel their powerful auras, you yet benefit from them and this photo-blog will give you a spiritual boost.

As far as possible this blog uses actual photographs of gurus. Photography became widespread in the 19th century (circa 1850) so this automatically limits the gurus covered to the last two hundred years approximately. But for the purposes of this blog we sometimes have to refer to gurus from prior to 1850 and for that we are helpless but to accept a painting or sculpture of the guru as his likeness.
