Guru Siyag is a Siddha: A spiritual master who has attained both the divine states Sagun (God in visible form and qualities) and Nirgun (God in invisible state without any Gunas or attributes). Gurudev’s divine powers are not restricted to his body alone. His divine powers exist everywhere in the universe in invisible, subtle form, and so meditation on his photograph has the same impact as his personal presence. Meditation on Guru Siyag’s image is an invocation of his grace. Guru Siyag says, “The Guru is a gravitational force. This body is not the Guru. This body will die in a few years. The Guru is within you. The science of yoga does not value time and space. I am within you and you are within me. Whenever and wherever you remember me, I’ll be present. If a Guru is a true Guru, then he is omnipresent.”
Once a seeker receives mantra Diksha from Gurudev either in person or via TV, CD or a video-clip by email and becomes a disciple, he establishes a permanent contact with Gurudev on the subtle level. Gurudev is therefore always present with the disciple whether he is near Gurudev or somewhere far away. Gurudev’s protective presence and guidance is always available to the disciple whenever he remembers or prays to Him by heart. This is why a mere picture or photo of Gurudev is as effective as his blessing the disciple in person.
