This auspicious festival provides an opportunity to appreciate and acknowledge the precious role played by teachers and mentors in shaping young minds. Let’s dig into the history and importance of Guru Purnima and explore how we celebrated this special day.
Understanding Guru Purnima
Guru Purnima also known as Vyasa Purnima. This is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha. It holds vast importance in Indian culture. It is a day dedicated to honouring the ancient sage Vyasa, who is worshipped as the original Guru. The term “guru” refers to a spiritual guide, mentor, or teacher who passes on knowledge and wisdom to their devotee.
History and Importance
According to Hindu mythology, Guru Purnima is believed to be the day when Lord Shiva, the first Guru or the Adi Guru, started spreading knowledge to his devotees, known as the Saptarishis (Seven Sages). This event marked the beginning of the Guru-Shishya (teacher-student) tradition. The festival also celebrates the birth anniversary of Maharishi Veda Vyasa. He is the compiler of the Mahabharata and one of the most respected and admired gurus in Hinduism.
Guru Purnima honours all forms of teachers, including professors, school teachers and mentors, not just spiritual gurus. It serves as a reminder of the important role played by these educating and guiding figures in our lives, channelling wisdom and shaping our characters.
