First and formest - Happy Guru is a business of gifts and home wares, but there’s a culture and loose philosophy that connects to the operation and we like to think that the principles of Happy guru keep us grounded and fair dinkum to our cause. The culture of Happy Guru promotes pride towards being open minded and respectful about all people who live in and share our global village. The strength of that starts with the goodness of our own soul and how we respond to the world. There are no judgements or divides based on anyone’s ethnicity, sexuality, creed or whatever indifference we may share with the next person. Happy guru promotes good and kind living principles that aim at making us better people and the world a healthier place.
In a welcome podcast from Happy Guru - it might be of interest to explain the meaning of our name - Happy Guru. Perhaps you already who of Happy guru from our home wares and lifestyle range. But lets say you hadn’t heard of hg before or you’re interested to know more about our name. What might be your first impression or image of the name Happy guru. With what ever image or impressoion you have - I’m sure it is a good one - because the word happy mostly implies a good situation. your image or understanding of guru would most likely be of a spiritual master - someone who represents knowing a lot of things about the spiritual and physical world - We don’t use the word guru to suggest that we here at happy guru are gurus of the same proportion or in the same meaning - rather we respect the power of those who are good at something, so that’s why we use the term in our name. By respecting people who are good at something - hopefully we learn with greater understanding, how the world works. Nowadays is someone’s really clever at something say A cook, a gardener or an artist - these people can also be referred to as a guru. People who are experts in their field of craft are people who we generally respect or admire for their talents and knowledge. We like to think of Guruism as a means to empowering ourselves with information about things that benefit our life. You will hopefully learn more about our definition through this coming series of podcasts. I guess in essence, our use of the name happy guru is about finding the goodness in your own world. It’s about being a good person to yourself and to others. the guru is your soul and the happiness is all about how you feel about yourself…. you might be calm rested and with your eyes shut - relaxing and listening to the sounds around you…. a calm and in control mind is one that can make better judgements about what is right for you. learning more about how we function and the world we live within is a means to empowering how much we know and want to know about ourselves & other people. the need to know more is where our guruism swells into new forms.
