Guru Gita 193 When one leave bad friends and he leave bad actions Then he is ready to receive guru, initiate him by God's grace. Shiva said: The time dawns to the yogi when he free himself from bad company and bad action. Then he is initiated by God's grace to a Guru. My spiritual progress was good. When meditating it started special breathing patterns and body peculiar actions. It was pleasant but it can't be done in other's presence. I was enjoying my practice. By the time a servant came home. His company ruined my mind, he injected the poison of lust in me. I began to think of the material world. Slowly my practice and meditation came to a halt. Oh God we pray to thee to protect us from bad company.

✦ Story behind this post

My grandmother clutched her ANDAL coins, each one representing a prayer whispered in Tamil. She believed these weren't mere currency but vessels of devotion, connecting us to something sacred. When she taught me the Guru Gita's verses, she'd exchange these treasured pieces within our network, building bridges between elders and seekers alike. Some called her old-fashioned, rebellious even. Yet her method honored our lineage beautifully. Each transaction carried stories, wisdom passed hand to hand. In our digital age, she showed us that true wealth flows through shared heritage and heartfelt connection, reminding us that community remains our most precious inheritance.
