​History of Guru Purnima

Guru Purnima honours Ved Vyasa, known as one of the most honoured Gurus of ancient India. “Veda Vyasa, structured the four Vedas, composed the epic of the Mahabharata, created the foundation for the many Puranas and the vast encyclopaedias of Hindu sacred lore.

 Guru Purnima represents the date on which Lord Shiva as the Adi Guru taught the seven rishis who were the seers of the Vedas. In the Yoga Sutras, Ishvara as Pranava or Om is said to be the Adi Guru of Yoga.

Lord Buddha was said to have delivered his first sermon on this day at Sarnath, reflecting the power of this sacred time.”

The festival is very important to the Hindu, Jain and Buddhist communities of the country, who enjoy the festival activities as a means of paying respect to their respective gurus.
