On this day we pay obeisance to our gurus and commit ourselves to live their teachings.

Guru Purnima encourages us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our spiritual essence. In a world focused on material achievements and success, it helps us look inward.

The Sanskrit word “Guru” is derived from “Gu,” meaning darkness, and “Ru,” meaning dispeller. The guru dispels the darkness of ignorance and shows us the path to light and wisdom. On the eve of Guru Purnima, let us re-dedicate ourselves to human Perfection.
