A Guru is someone who shares knowledge and guides you. They clear away confusion and help you find the right path. A Guru cares for their students as if they were their own, always striving to help them rise and improve. When life gets hard, they're there to support you and clear away any problems. Instead of focusing on what they accomplish, a Guru works to help you achieve your full potential. This special connection is based on deep, selfless love.
Purnima gets its name from the word "Purn," meaning something is full or complete.
Guru Purnima marks the day when, it's said, the very first teaching from a Divine source (God) to a student took place. We observe this day by showing gratitude to all our Gurus who have selflessly guided and sacrificed for our betterment. The blessings and guidance of a Guru are considered crucial for anyone to reach the highest level of achievement in their field.
A Poem
Oh Guru, Oh Guru,
I yearn to learn, with your grace by my side,
To uplift my spirit, where no ignorance can hide.
Your love and guidance lift me ever high,
I humbly bow, as teardrops grace my eye.
Oh Guru, Oh Guru,
With gratitude, my heart does confide,
Aum Guru, Aum Guru,
Forever thankful, with you by my side. 🙏
