“Guru Purnima celebrates the human ability to rise beyond physical nature, and the Greatness of Adiyogi, who made this possible” –

Sadhguru


It is said that a person is blind without a teacher and the teacher is someone who guides us in the right direction which leads towards success. It is a ritual or a festival of the Hindus, Jains, and the Buddhists which is celebrated as a dedication, showing respect and gratitude to the teachers/gurus that may be spiritual, academic, or cultural gurus. The word Guru is derived from Sanskrit Language and means ‘remover of darkness.’

This day for me is very close to my heart! This day is also one of the most significant days out of all for me personally. The reason behind this is, on this day we truly realize and self- reflect ourselves for all our teachers who have done so much for us from helping us in upbringing to treating us like their own child and the list goes on…

The day is observed by devotees who offer pujas (worship) to their beloved Gurus. The auspicious day of Guru Purnima has a great significance as everybody knows that the role of a Guru (Teacher) in real life is very much important. On this day Hindus show much respect to their gurus.

Is also known as Vyasa Purnima marks the birthday of Ved Vyasa. It is a spiritual tradition in Hindu culture Hindu culture dedicated to spiritual and academic Gurus, who are evolved or enlightened humans, ready to share their wisdom with very little or no monetary expectation, based on Karma Yoga, Karma Yoga. It is celebrated as a festival in India, Nepal, and Bhutan by the Hindus, Jains and Buddhists. The festival is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July) as it is known in the Hindu calendar of India. 

A student goes to a teacher and learns something, gets some information and then he walks out of the School. There is no more information, just like looking at a guidebook, like a tourist guide. You go with the tourist guide to see a place, and the guide shows all the places, or like a Traffic Police, sometimes he directs you or like you ask someone, “Where is what?” and they’ll give you some information. You take it and you say, “Well, thank you” and there it is finished, isn’t it? You went to primary school, middle school, and whatever grade you call it, you collected information; you learned about mind, learned about computers, learned about mathematics, and learned how 2+1 is 3. The student is one, who collects information, but the information is not knowledge, it is not wisdom, is it not so?

Then there is the disciple, the disciple follows the example of the Master. But a disciple is with the Master for the sake of learning wisdom, for the sake of improving his life, for the sake of attaining enlightenment. He has a purpose, a cause, so he is not just collecting information, but he goes a little deeper. He is trying to bring a transformation in his life. He wants to make sense of his life. That is a disciple.

It is nothing great to become God or be God. Whether you want or not, all are already Gods. A stone is also a God. You are also a God. Everything is God, God is already there, but it is great to become a devotee. Everything, whether you want it or not, is already God, but the love, devotion, has flowered somewhere. Where the devotion has flowered totally, the flower has blossomed, which is a devotee. Attraction is everywhere, love is somewhere, but devotion is again rare. A student comes to a Master, Teacher, and Guru with tears in his eyes. There are so many problems, and when he leaves, he is carrying the same tears, but the quality of the tears is different, it is of gratitude. Still, tears flow, but those are of gratitude, of love; it is so beautiful to cry in love.

One, who has cried even once in love, knows the taste of it, of surrender and of devotion and the entire creation rejoices it. The entire creation is longing for only one thing, the transformed tears, from salty tears to sweet tears.

Love is something that even the Divine rejoices in it. The infinity longs for you as much as you long for it. It is waiting to receive you. God is as anxious as you are to be near. So, when a devotee flowers on this planet, God is very happy. That is why Guru Purnima is the day of the Devotee.

Like fatherhood and motherhood, there is Guru-hood. We all must play Guru-hood at least to somebody. We do play! Consciously or unconsciously you are all Guru to somebody. You keep giving advices and guiding people, giving them loving care! You all do this, but do it 100%, without expecting anything in return: that is living the Guru principle. There is no difference between the divine, the Self, and the Guru. They are all one. Think of all the things to be grateful for and ask what you want for the future and bless everyone. We receive so many blessings and we should also bless all those who are in need.

    Very well expressed. Everyone is a God... Everyone should be a devotee. We learn, directly or indirectly from people around us and at the same we are inspiration for others as well. Just need to observe that we follow the right person n be the guiding star.

Tasting Indiscipline

Tasting Indiscipline “Health is like money; we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it.” ~ Josh Billings We all have those cravings or thoughts that go regularly in our mind of junk food, we talk to ourselves at several occasions that, ‘Yeh Khaliya Toh Kya Hoga? I’m toh just having a bite and for a change na, nothing will happen. And eventually, I feel this is where the problem originates from. The urge of trying what is not suitable for our health but our tongues’ favorite, what to do? I totally understand this game being a teenager. I’m aware that often taste buds in our tongue overpower our brain and eventually we have a bite of it and oh boy, it is all over with a satisfaction which comes after a great job is done well. We often have a smile after consuming it. I am sure you can relate to it. Where to stop, when to have that kind of self- discipline, saying, now I have had my share (maybe more than my share) and now I’ve to stop otherwise it will be troubleso...

Have to be ODD to be ‘THE NUMBER ONE!’

Have to be ODD to be ‘THE NUMBER ONE!’ Think Outside the Box… I’ve always known that I was different ever since I was a child. I couldn’t help but to effortlessly be the odd one out. Growing up, this made me upset. I wanted to be cool and fit in like the other kids. But as I grew older, I realized how much I love being different. I embrace my individuality now! I love it and it’s what makes me, well, me! The invention of the wheel was a miraculous invention, along with the airplane, and the telephone. All the inventions that have ever been created weren't just something that was already drawn out on a piece of paper for the inventors. They had to think. They had to imagine the masterpiece before it was even a physical object. These people weren't just thinkers or inventors. These people "Thought Outside the Box." Many people who try to invent something are not successful because they are afraid to break the confines of the outline. What I mean by this is that th...

Enjoy the Beats of Music! Embrace the Fun! @21 st June 2020- Fête de la Musique ! ( World Music Day!!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-27Fkcn6jI   Have you ever put on your headphones, hit play on an upbeat tune, and waltzed down the street as if you were in a movie? You’re not alone, everybody has done it (they’re just too afraid to admit it!). Music has the ability to lift your spirits even when you don’t feel like getting out of bed that day. Why shouldn’t there be an entire day to celebrate the wonders of music? World Music Day needs to be celebrated far and wide without a doubt! Who doesn’t like the beats of music? Who doesn’t like to listen to soulful music at times and when no one is around, the best companion with us is music right? Music truly is a way to get people along! Music for me touches hearts of people and brings out the true emotions within them! Sometimes, I do feel that music is a great reflection for us to self- reflect and self- realize ourse...
