Happy Guru Purnima

-

 




Guru Purnima is a Hindu festival that is celebrated to honor one's chosen spiritual teachers or leaders. It is observed on the full moon day (Purnima) in the month of Ashadha (June–July) according to the Hindu Calendar. The festival was revived by Mahatma Gandhi to pay tribute to his spiritual guru, Shrimad Rajchandra. It is also known as Vyasa Purnima, for it marks the birthday of Veda Vyasa, the sage who authored the Mahabharata and compiled the Vedas.


There are many reasons why we celebrate Guru Purnima. First, it is a way to show our gratitude to our gurus for their guidance and teachings. Gurus are seen as the bridge between the divine and the human, and they help us to connect with our higher selves. They also provide us with the knowledge and tools that we need to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.


Second, Guru Purnima is a time to reflect on our own spiritual journey. It is a day to ask ourselves if we are following the path that our gurus have set for us. It is also a day to renew our commitment to our spiritual practice.


Third, Guru Purnima is a time to celebrate the importance of education and learning. Gurus are seen as the embodiment of knowledge, and they help us to expand our minds and grow as individuals. Guru Purnima is a day to remember the importance of lifelong learning and to commit ourselves to continuing our education.


Finally, Guru Purnima is a time to come together as a community and to celebrate our shared spiritual values. It is a day to strengthen our bonds with our fellow seekers and to create a more harmonious world.


Here are some of the ways that Guru Purnima is celebrated:


  • Pujas: Pujas are performed to honor the gurus. These pujas may include chanting mantras, offering prayers, and making offerings of food and flowers.


  • Meditation: Meditation is often practiced on Guru Purnima as a way to connect with the gurus and to receive their blessings.


  • Study: Some people spend Guru Purnima studying the teachings of their gurus or other spiritual texts.


  • Teaching: Others may choose to teach others about the importance of gurus and the value of spiritual practice.


  • Volunteering: Some people choose to volunteer their time on Guru Purnima to help others in need.


No matter how you choose to celebrate Guru Purnima, it is a day to remember the importance of gurus and the value of spiritual practice. It is a day to express your gratitude to your gurus, to reflect on your own spiritual journey, and to commit yourself to continuing your education.
