Why Guru Purnima is Celebrated in India
Guru Purnima is an ancient festival celebrated across India, Nepal, and other parts of South Asia to honor gurus—those who guide us with wisdom and selflessness. The word “guru” comes from Sanskrit, meaning “one who dispels darkness.”
The festival falls on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July). It is believed that on this day, Maharishi Ved Vyasa—the author of the Mahabharata—was born. He is also said to have classified the Vedas, making him the spiritual master of all time. Hence, Guru Purnima is also known as Vyasa Purnima.
In Indian culture, the guru is placed even above the gods in terms of reverence. This day is a time for disciples to pay respect to their spiritual and academic teachers. Traditionally observed in ashrams, temples, and homes, today it's also recognized in schools, offices, and communities.
Modern observances include:
- Thanking teachers, coaches, bosses, and life mentors
- Offering symbolic gifts or messages of appreciation
- Spiritual reflection and meditation
- Sharing social media tributes using #GuruPurnima
Whether spiritual or secular, Guru Purnima is a heartfelt reminder to acknowledge those who’ve shaped our thoughts, beliefs, and direction in life.
