To memorize the Guru Gita is not trivial.
It's especially easy to skip around or miss verses. To make it
easier, here are the first syllables of each verse, written as a sort
of nonsense poem, with phrasing and rhythm to help remember. Tracking
this will tell you how to start the next verse. Memorize it to know
the whole order.
To see the actual verse for each syllable, hover or click on it.
Sadgurunaath mahaaraaj ki jay.
