Sri Siva, Vishnu and Brahma

 

 

   

 

Thirumurthi as Guru

 

Guru Brahma Gurur Vishnuhu Guru Devoo Maheswaraha |
Guru Saakshaath Para Brahma Tasmai Sree Gurave' Namaha ||
Guru is Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Maheswara,
Guru is nothing but the Supreme Brahman devoid of attributes.
That is the reason why we bow to the Guru
 
 
Aakaasat pathitham thoyam Yathaa gacchathi Saagaram |
Sarva Deva Namaskarah Kesavam prathigacchathi ||
Ke'savam prathigacchathi Om nama iti ||

Just as all the water that fall from the sky inescapably reach the sea,
Let all salutations to all the Deities reach only Kesava;
Indeed they only reach Kesava.
 

Here "Kesava" stands for Paramãtma encompassing Siva, Vishnu and Brahma
