Guru Purnima |
|
In the month of Ashadh (July-August) on the full moon day falls the Guru Purnima. This day is very auspicious and holy because it commemorates the day of the great sage Vyasa. This day is also called the Vyasa Purnima and the festival observed annually is no less significant.
Guru or the preceptor is held in high esteem in our Hindu tradition. The Guru is looked upon as an embodiment of God himself. Because, it is due to his spiritual teachings and guidance one acquires knowledge. It is the Guru who leads one away from darkness or ignorance to light or wisdom. The well-known hymn says “My salutations to the Guru who is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara. The Guru is Parabrahma incarnate”.
