AUM SHRI GURUBHYO NAMA: 

Guru Purnima, or the Full Moon of the Guru, is celebrated in the month of Ashadha (July-August). This day is significant for disciples who seek to get initiated by their Guru, students who desire to get the blessings of their teachers, and for everyone who wants to honor persons of great wisdom and learning. This is a rare time to solve unsolved problems.

The Greatness of Guru

The Guru is considered an embodiment of the archetypes Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. As per a Vedic saying, Guru's form is the basis of meditation, Guru's feet are the basis of worship, Guru's words are the basis of mantra (sacred sound), and Guru's grace is the basis of enlightenment.

The word 'Guru' means remover of darkness (In Sanskrit, “Gu” means darkness, “Ru” means remover). Thus, Guru Purnima is the day of eradicating ignorance and illuminating our lives with knowledge. On this day, Guru can inspire us to overcome our limitations and conjure a life of wonderful possibilities.

Time for Spiritual Renewal

 The Full Moon represents enlightenment, which is the full flowering of consciousness. On the Vedic calendar, Guru Purnima is the Full Moon that falls near the summer solstice, the month of greatest light. This Full Moon is important because it is the time when all divine teachers shower blessings on the earth providing increased energy for our spiritual awakening.
On Guru Purnima, grace from these Masters is easily accessible to all those who think of them.
 Also, there is a Guru element inherent in all of us. Accessing the energy of the vortexes visited by Siddha Gurus can help in the unfolding of that element within us, so that higher wisdom can effortlessly descend upon us.
For Guru Poornima 2011, Pujya Guruji has ordained a one-week Silence Sadhana Shibir in Katarkhadak from July 8 to July 15.
Pujya Guruji will himself be present at Katarkhadak during this Shibir including the day of July 15 which is the day of Guru Poornima 2011.
