Got a personalized message from Guruji on twitter :) What more do I need on Guru Purnima
Today is Guru Poornima ( गुरु पूर्णिमा ) Its significance:
It’s a day when you reflect back and be grateful for all that you have been given and that which you received.
Consciously or unconsciously you are all guru to somebody. You keep giving advises and guiding people, giving them loving care; without expecting anything in return: that is living the Guru principle. There is no difference between the divine, the Self and the Guru.
The reflection of all the blessings and knowledge received, all the transformation that has happened makes one grateful towards the tradition of the masters who preserved this knowledge. And this is Guru Purnima.
Often we ask for small things in life. Our smaller desires anyways get fulfilled. Guru Purnima is the day to ask for whatever you want and it will be bestowed. Ask for the highest! The best desire is to ask for knowledge and freedom and welfare of the entire humanity. And Guru purnima is the best day to do this! Its like a new year for many people.
