On the occasion of Guru Purnima, thank you for your support and good wishes. Every being in the environment facilitates learning, let us be grateful for their role in our life journey. This day is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Ved Vyasa, the author of the great epic Mahabharata, and also many other books of knowledge.
This year today and tomorrow fall under the auspicious time of Guru Purnima. The day is dedicated to all teachers, mentors, instructors, coaches, and all who guide us through life in many ways towards our goals and purpose of life. The day is a full moon day of Ashada month. It is also believed that on this Gautam Buddha gave his first sermon in Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh. According to the Gregorian calendar, this is a full moon day.
The word GURU is derived from two Sanskrit words ‘Gu’ meaning darkness or ignorance and ‘Ru’ meaning ‘removal’. Hence Guru is believed to be the dispeller of darkness and ignorance for our lives.
Bruce lee’s Golden Words in Finding The Truth With Support of the Teacher, is also something indicating that with right guidance and direction, one can always accomplish more.
Since, time immemorial India has been the land of Gurus visited by millions for enlightenment and purpose in life! In fact, it’s time we have all realized that there is a Guru in each one of us, that we need to encourage to reach out to people we can support -guide, or facilitate. Likewise, we also need to be open to learning at all times from every person who touches our life. Life becomes stagnant and meaningless only when we cease to learn and also engage in gossip or criticism, rather than finding what we can learn from people around us.
Let us take this occasion to convey gratitude to every being and their lessons to us!! Wish you all the success in this journey of life with your Gurus and your students.
Do share your best Guru and Shishya moments, with us!!
