Guru Purnima – A Day to Honour the Gurus
Guru Purnima is celebrated on the full moon day in the month of Ashadha to honour Gurus, i.e., academic teachers, mentors and spiritual guides. In essence, it is a day that celebrates knowledge. When you ensure children’s access to mid-day meals, you indirectly pave way for them to receive knowledge by bringing into their lives education and inspirational teachers.
It is a good fortune to have a guru who guides us in this life journey. They pass on to us the knowledge and wisdom that becomes our light when we go through the rough patches of life.
Guru Purnima is an auspicious occasion to honour such gurus or teachers.
