Guru Purnima (Vyas Purnima) is celebrated on Ashadh Sud Poonam, the day of the full moon in the month of Ashadh. On this significant day, Hindus pay homage to Ved Vyas, the eternal guru of Hindu Sanatan Dharma, renowned for his classification of the four Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva), and for his authorship of the Mahabharata and 18 Puranas.
The term 'guru', derived from Sanskrit, originates from the root words ‘gu’ meaning darkness or ignorance, and ‘ru’ meaning remover of that darkness. A guru is revered as one who dispels our ignorance, aids in transcending maya (illusion), and guides us towards realizing the divine.
We invite you to join us in expressing our guru bhakti (devotion) and offering earnest prayers to His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj. The celebration will include devotional bhajans, enlightening video presentations, and spiritual discourses delivered by esteemed swamis and youth.
