Guru Purnima is a significant Hindu and Buddhist festival celebrated in India and other parts of South Asia. It typically falls on the full moon day (Purnima) in the month of Ashadha (June or July) in the Hindu calendar. The word “Guru” in Sanskrit means a spiritual teacher or guide, and Guru Purnima is a day dedicated to expressing gratitude and reverence to one’s spiritual teachers, mentors, and gurus.

On Guru Purnima, disciples and followers pay homage to their gurus and seek their blessings. They often offer gifts, and flowers, and perform rituals to show their respect and appreciation. The festival is a reminder of the important role that teachers and mentors play in one’s spiritual and personal growth.

In addition to honoring human gurus, Guru Purnima is also a time to reflect on the teachings of revered sages and scholars, such as Ved Vyasa, the author of the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. People gather for prayers, and spiritual discourses, and often engage in acts of charity and community service.

Guru Purnima serves as a day for spiritual reflection, seeking knowledge, and fostering a strong bond between teachers and students, making it a significant cultural and religious event in South Asia.
