Guru Purnima - Respecting All Our Teachers & Expressing Our Gratitude.

On Guru Purnima a guru’s glow is at its height and merely being in your guru’s presence can have amazing effects on your evolution and inner world.

Today, on the Guru Purnima, remembered all my teachers from School and all the coaches who have helped me in building my career.  A Guru is someone who guides you through darkness and is the light in your life.
Guru Purnima is one such festival that is celebrated for the Guru or the teacher. This festival is mainly meant to serve the guru or the teacher. Gu means darkness and Ru means remover of darkness( light) .

So who is a Guru? A Guru is someone who guides you through darkness and is the light in your life. Guru is that thread that binds your ignorance with knowledge and gives you complete enlightenment. A Guru is a guiding force in our life. He/she is someone who is there for you always and forever guiding you when you go wrong and forgiving you when you make mistakes.

A guru has the phenomenal potential of taking you beyond, not just from the pains and difficulties of life but beyond yourself. The guru is not just a physical being; guru is the energy, considered even higher than para brahma, the Divine Consciousness.

A student/ shishya should always consider the words spoken by his guru as a mantra.

A guru is the only steady feature in our life, which is there for us whenever we need them. It is our humble duty to spend day thinking for them and about them, so that we can make life a better place to live in.It is only the Guru who can help us achieve a cause with a touch of finality. With able leaders and teachers who lead us to a world beyond, society would surely be a paradise to live in.


Lets thank all our teachers who have made us what we are today and salute them for their grit, determination, and faith in us.
