Gurupurnima

Gurupurnima

Guru Poornima is celebrated in the month of June/July on the day of the full moon, as the moon is the presiding deity for the mind. The full circle represented by the moon represents the mind when it is filled with love. It represents the mind when it is filled with illumination and purity. We dedicate this day to the guru (our spiritual teacher), the one who dispels darkness and ignorance.In 1956, Sathya Sai Baba revived this ancient spiritual festival as an occasion for all spiritual aspirants to remember and celebrate with reverence the teachings of the guru. It is an occasion when we can rededicate ourselves to living every day the teachings of our spiritual master.
