Guru Purnima 

Picture


Our saints have allocated the month’s most special day, Purnima (full moon) in the

month of Ashadr, as Guru Purnima or Vyas Purnima.

The meaning of Guru is one who removes (Ru) darkness (Gu) from our lives. Devotees

worship their Guru on this particular day in recognition of him showing the light to his

shishya (disciples).

Guru Purnima is also known as Vyas Purnima because it was on this day

Ved Vyas-ji

started reciting the holy Granths for the benefit of humanity.

It was the great Ved Vyas-ji who classified the Vedas, wrote the 18

Puranas
 including

the Srimad Bhagavatamand the Mahabharata. He even is said to have

taught the

Guru of Gurus Avadhuta Dattatreya. We are all indebted to Ved Vyas-ji.

The importance of the Guru-shishya relationship is fundamental to the

progress of the

spiritual aspirant. All of our great preceptors themselves have had Gurus.

Even Lord Krishna – whom we call Jagatguru (Guru of the whole Cosmos) – deemed it

necessary to have his Guru Sandipani during his time in Vrindhavan.

Sri Ram had two Gurus – Vasishta Muni, being his Kul Guru (ancestral Guru), and

Vishwamitra whom he adopted as Guru while away from home, on the advice of his

Kul Guru.

It is often accepted that Guru Brihashpati is the main Guru of all Devis and Devtas. If

our Gods find it necessary to have a Guru then it surely must be necessary for humans

too.

The Guru shines a light on the spiritual path and guides the shishya towards moksha

(liberation), helping them to avoid pitfalls and giving them the knowledge and power to

cope with difficulties and progress on their path.

Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu Guru Devo Maheswara

Guru Sakshat Para Brahma Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha 


The Guru is none other than the creator, Lord Brahma; 

he verily is Lord Vishnu, the preserver, and he is truly Maheshwara, 

the destroyer. He is the supreme Brahman himself. 

To such a Guru I offer my salutations.


Pandit-ji’s recommendations for fasting on Guru Purnima:
  • Normal Purnima fasts apply - Nirjal if possible or if not then stay on fruits and milk only.

  • Guru Purnima is the best time to remember your Guru and make offerings to him. 

  • On this day one should also chant at least one mala (108) of Guru mantra and or Gayatri mantra.

  • If you have not received Guru Diksha this is the day to ask God to help you seek the perfect spiritual master for yourself.​​
