Guru Purnima is celebrated in various parts of India and Nepal. The festival falls on Purnima, also known as the full moon day, in the month of June-July (the Hindu month of Ashadha), as per the traditional Hindu calendar. Guru Purnima is observed to honour and express gratitude towards academic or spiritual teachers and gurus who positively impact an individual’s life by providing knowledge, wisdom, and guidance.
In Sanskrit, the word “guru” means a “spiritual guide” or “teacher”. Since teachers play an important role in shaping the lives of individuals, the festival paves the way for disciples to pay homage and offer respect to their gurus.
