Why Do We Celebrate Guru Poornima? 

Namaste friends, I am Akash, and on this auspicious occasion of Guru Poornima, I would like to discuss the significance of Gurus in Indian culture.

The literal meaning of guru is someone who eliminates darkness or ignorance. Traditionally, guru refers to a spiritual teacher who has deep knowledge of Dharma and can guide their students to the path of spiritual progress.

Imagine if you were driving to a faraway destination, you could get there without math or GPS, but the time and effort involved will be a lot more. 

A guru is like a GPS for the spiritual journey. You can get to your destination without the help of a guru. But with their help, it gets easier because they have walked the path.

Already, the guru, Poornima, is dedicated to the spiritual gurus for showing the part of wisdom to their followers.

It was the day when the first guru was born; Adi yogi or Shiva became Adi guru and decided to import spiritual knowledge to his followers.

This day is also dedicated to the Maharshi wave. Our culture always had the "Guru-shishya parampara," reflecting the strong and special bond between the guru and their disciples. We asked who is one of the greatest gurus in Hindu philosophy.

Back in the day, it was common practice for students to leave the comforts of their home and live in a Gurukul to learn from the Gurus.

In the early phases of their lives, everyone, regardless of their family background, would sleep on the ground, eat simple food, practice yoga, meditate, and lord other life skills in Auto deliver thermic modest and fulfills life.

In fact, there is a popular Sanskrit phrase in our culture called "ma pita guru Ziva," which means first comes the mother, then father guru, and then God.

Most of us do not participate in the traditional Gurukul system in the modern world, and getting access to an enlightened group can also be very challenging.

However, we can still take some steps to begin our Dharma journey, just like being curious and having an open mind is the first good step for learning in school having a calm mind and focusing on the present is an important step.

In our journey toward spiritual growth, this state of calm and self-awareness is best achieved through the regular practice of meditation.

Meditation has been revered for thousands of years in our culture as a natural, accessible way to regulate our reaction to stress and manifest.

Good health meditation is even more important in today's technology-driven age now; we almost have no downtime for our minds to get a break, our bodies relax, and our nervous system to calm down.

There are many benefits of meditation for students, like better sleep, reduced anxiety, improved self-esteem, ability to focus and study, reduce levels of stress are some of the top ones.

Guru Poornima falls on the full moon day in the auspicious month of Ashad. The moon on this night is full and glows with all its power.

As we know, the human body is mostly made from water, and therefore, the moon has a strong pull and effect on water bodies; hence it is considered one of the best days to meditate if you are new to meditation.

This is a great day to start. You don't need a lot of experience. Just close your eyes, focus on your breathing, and gently set aside any thoughts that come to your mind; feel the sound the sensation for a few minutes; the more you practice, the better you get.

So, this weekend tries it out, meditate under the full moon of Guru Poornima, and soak all its energy flowing down.

I hope this day will help you get in sync with yourself and positively channel your energies.
