Guru Purnima
is the sacred time of the year in which we give thanks and offer our humble gratitude, love and devotion to our Gurus.
What is a Guru?
A Guru is one who removes our darkness. In Sanskrit, Gu means “darkness” and ru is”that which removes,” so a Guru is one who removes the darkness in our lives, who shines the light of Truth on the illusions in which we live which cause our agony, our pain, and our grudges. The Guru brings the light of true understanding through which our egos,our insatiable desires, our fulfillable expectations and our illusions dissipate.
Guru Purnima is a day of renewing our faith in He who bestows the light upon our lives. It is a day of re-opening our hearts, our souls and our lives to His divine presence and letting it penetrate and saturate every aspectof our being.
