✨ What is Guru Purnima and Why Do We Celebrate It?
Guru Purnima is a sacred Hindu festival honouring the Guru — the remover of darkness and bringer of light. The word “Guru” comes from “Gur” and “Rud” (Sanskrit) meaning “the remover of darkness”. Therefore the Guru is not only the teacher, but also a spiritual educator, a life mentor, and someone brings light to darkness.
Guru Purnima is celebrated on the day of the full moon (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha. This festival is driven by the spirit of honouring a Guru and it is said to be of great spiritual significance. Traditionally, this is thought to be the day Maharishi Ved Vyasa, who wrote the Mahabharata and compiled the Vedas, was born. He was worshipped as the Adi Guru (first teacher). In yogic tradition, Guru Purnima is the day that Lord Shiva became the Adi Yogi, and shared his knowledge with the Saptarishis.
🙏 Why is a Guru so important in life?
A Guru is not the teacher of the four walls of a classroom, but helps you dig into your strengths, awaken your purpose and walk with confidence. When you’re doubting yourself, it’s a Guru who points the way forward. When you feel you have failed, it’s a Guru who brings you back to the conversation of possibility.
A Guru can be a spiritual master, a parent, a schoolteacher or a life coach — anyone who supports you to make a better version of yourself is a Guru. You cannot put a price tag on a Guru’s value. There are no alphabetical letters by which we can cite their value, what we can cite is the transformation they impacted for your soul.
🌱 A Guru Provides the Path for Us to Walk
A Guru doesn’t provide the answers, they help you find them for yourself. They don’t provide the shortcut — they provide a pathway.
The lessons we learn stay with us long after the moment has passed. From tying our school shoes, to stepping out into the world — they also help create our minds, embrace our hearts and warm our souls.
In modernity, we often have become collectively distracted and irrational. With a rapidly changing pace in our living experiences, A Guru helps us catch our breath, reflect and ground ourselves.
