Guru Poornima is the full moon day in the month of ‘Ashada’, the fourth month in the Indian lunar calendar, corresponding to end of June or early July. It is also called ‘Vyasa Poornima’, as this full moon day marks the birthday of the great sage Veda Vyasa, who categorized the vast body of Vedic knowledge in to the four Vedas – Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva. Even the writing of the eighteen Puranas (ancient Hindu legends) was completed by him on this day.
On this day, we express our love, reverence and gratitude to our teachers and the great sages of yore for the precious gift of wisdom that we have received from them in the form of the scriptures. In Prasanthi Nilayam, Guru Poornima is celebrated in a very grand manner in the presence of the teacher of teachers – our beloved Bhagawan.
