Guru Purnima 2023: Celebrating the Sacred Bond Between Guru and Disciple

Guru Purnima is a holy festival that is observed in India and several other countries like Nepal, Bhutan to pay respect and show appreciation for spiritual guides, mentors, and gurus. The word “Guru Purnima” comes from the Sanskrit language, where “guru” stands for “teacher” or “guide,” and “purnima” is used to describe the full moon day.

Guru Purnima has a long history and is very significant in terms of both history and culture. The custom of paying respect to gurus and spiritual teachers has centuries-old roots in many different civilizations.

This day is advantageous to meditate and practice yoga sadhana as it is believed to strengthen one’s spiritual practise and establish a connection with higher consciousness. The spiritual importance of the day magnifies the advantages of these techniques, encouraging inner change and bringing one’s existence into alignment.

When is Guru Purnima?

Guru Purnima is celebrated on a full moon day during the Ashadha month (June–July) in accordance with the Hindu lunar calendar. The celebration this year will take place on July 3, 2023.

Guru Purnima Muhurat :

Why is Guru Purnima Celebrated?

Guru Purnima festival holds significance beyond the realms of spiritual teachings. Along with the traditional practises, greetings, messages, and presents between gurus and followers have become customary during the modern era.

Also known as Vyasa Purnima, Veda Vyasa the author of the Hindu epic, Mahabharata, was born on this day. Shri Mahadev Acharya, Shri Ramanuja Acharya, are considered the greatest gurus in Hinduism. Because it is believed that on this day, Gautam Buddha gave his first sermon at Sarnath, the Buddhist also honour him by celebrating Guru Purnima.

A day of great spiritual significance, it emphasises the value of the guru-disciple bond. It serves as a reminder to respect the advice and lessons learned from our mentors and to foster a mindset of continuous learning and improvement.

There are various reasons why Guru Purnima is observed, and each one emphasises the importance and significance of this auspicious day.

The Guru – Disciple Relationship :

The guru-disciple relationship has been cherished for ages and it is not limited only to that. It includes all the teachers and mentors who have made a significant contribution to moulding our lives. It’s the time to acknowledge them who have provided direction, and inspiration in various facets of life. By honouring them, we recognize the invaluable contributions they have made and the impact they have had on our personal growth.

Expressing Gratitude and Reverence :

The Guru Purnima celebration provides a beautiful platform for disciples to express their deep gratitude and reverence towards their gurus. On this blessed day, the disciples rise early and perform rituals in tribute to their teachers. Flowers, incense, and other sacred items are offered during puja, a traditional worship practise, as a sign of the disciple’s devotion and appreciation. By expressing gratitude, the student not only deepens their relationship with their guru but also develops humility and appreciation in themselves.

Self-reflection and Renewal :

During this day, disciples reflect on the teachings of the gurus and renew their commitment to the path of learning and growth. It’s time to review the guru’s insightful advice and apply it to everyday life. Disciples congregate in places of worship and learning, where they hear sermons, take part in discussions, and perform devotional acts. These activities offer a venue for expanding knowledge, self – reflection.

Celebration of Learning and Knowledge :

Guru Purnima honours learning and knowledge in general. It serves as a reminder of the value of education—spiritual and otherwise—in moulding people and civilizations. The festival promotes a long-lasting sense of humility, open-mindedness, and curiosity when it comes to learning.

Astrological Significance of Guru Purnima :

Astrologically, Guru Purnima holds significant importance due to the alignment of celestial bodies. The festival falls on the full moon day (Purnima), which is considered highly auspicious. Astrologers claim that during Guru Purnima, the moon remains in both the Venus– and Jupiter-ruled Purvashadha nakshatra and the house of Sagittarius.

Our emotions and thoughts are supposed to be governed by the moon. Hence, during Guru Purnima, the relationship between the heart and mind is emphasized and gurus tend to nurture this connection, enabling us to develop a nature that is both moral and pragmatic.

The word 'guru' literally means 'one who dispels ignorance/darkness'. In that sense, the word means more than just those teachers who impart formal education. I have been learning from each and every one of you here too. Here's my obeisance to the 'Guru' in each and everyone of you on this auspicious occasion of 'Guru Purnima'! 🙏❤️😊 (Image Source - VectorStock)

GURU PURNIMA La celebrazione del Guru Purnima cade alla prima luna piena che segue il solstizio d’estate, quest’anno il 3 luglio. In questo giorno si celebrano i Maestri spirituali che hanno compiuto un percorso di evoluzione e possono essere considerati uomini illuminati. In questo giorno celebriamo la grandezza di Guru Dev. Il termine Guru è composto da: "Gu" che significa oscurità e "Ru" che significa luce. Il Guru è colui che elimina l’oscurità dell’ignoranza e riempie le nostre vite della luce della conoscenza.

“Il Guru è l'espressione dell'illuminazione, della pura conoscenza, il campo di tutte le possibilità, il campo della correlazione infinita. In quel supremo risveglio, in quella suprema consapevolezza, nello stato di suprema conoscenza abbiamo la totalità della vita, il valore assoluto dell'Essere, la purezza infinita, la pura eternità, la pura immortalità. La giornata del Guru Purnima è strutturata nella pura conoscenza. Viene anno dopo anno per portare il risveglio della totalità della vita. Dispiega tutto il potenziale della conoscenza e porta a compimento la relazione maestro-discepolo. È la relazione maestro-discepolo, che si esprime nella sua totalità: piena potenzialità di tutte le possibilità. È un giorno molto speciale. È un giorno molto speciale per noi.”

Happy Guru Purnima! Masters' Day, Spiritual Teachers' Day - Guru Purnima Message, Satsang Podcast

On this auspicious day, Wednesday, July 13th, 2022 in India is Guru Purnima, Masters' Day, Teachers' Day. Devotees pay homage to their Spiritual Teacher (Sant Satguru) especially on this day. Today on this Sant Mat Satsang Podcast a Guru Purnima Message.

Spiritual Awakening Radio PODCAST @ Wherever You Follow Podcasts (Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon, Audible, Stitcher, Podcast Addict, PodBean, CastBox, Overcast, etc…): https://linktr.ee/SpiritualAwakeningRadio

Thankfully, there have been honest, loving, radiant, Godly beings that have graced this planet with their enlightened compassion. They work with those who seek the Path of the Masters and successfully practice Surat Shabd Yoga (Inner Light and Sound meditation) in a way that is almost identical to the Ideal spiritual path described by Swami Ji Maharaj of Agra, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, and Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, with a rich mystical approach to meditation practice, travelling quite far along in their journey back to God. These initiates have very real experiences commencing with their meditation practice.

"The true gurus live a simple life and morally upright lifestyle; they stay away from the pomp and show of the display of power. For example, they do not have expensive cars and opulent ashrams. They do not show favoritism among their followers… They do not consume prohibited foods (alcohol, animal products, etc…), nor do they instruct their followers for their consumption… They do not pretend to be in Samadhi nor do they put on a public display of fasting. They do not cling to a particular caste and do not favor religious customs. They do not care about their appearance nor try to impress others through their outer appearance." (Swami Vyasanand)

"Another common misconception is that prophets, saints and mystics search for 'new' truth. Rather, what they do is to simply remove the layers of dirt -- of accumulated misinterpretations -- that have corrupted the truth. Then the living teacher will bring forth the very same truth in a new light. The original truth must repeatedly be presented to suit the current age." (Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj)

"One wishing to reach one's home should seek the Satguru’s shelter. This will help one pursue the pathway leading to one’s true home." (Maharshi Mehi)

"Feed your heart in conversation with someone harmonious with it; seek spiritual advancement from one who is advanced. If you seek to know God, sit at the feet of the Saints." (Rumi)

"All Scriptures, Sages, Saints and Mahatmas have laid great emphasis on devotion to a Master, because without devotion all our spiritual practices take us only half-way and do not bring proper results." (Hazur Baba Sawan Singh)

"The teachings of all Saints are essentially the same. They speak of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' which is within. They show the path and impart instructions to attain it. They do not claim to teach something new or different from what other Saints have taught. Tulsi Sahab declared that he was giving the same teachings as those of Kabir Sahab, Nanak Sahab, Dadu Sahab and other Saints. Tulsi Sahab, for the first time, used the expression 'Sant Mat' or 'The Teachings of the Saints' to stress the basic unity of the teachings of all Saints." (entry for Sant Tulsi Sahib in, White Paper on the Religion of Sants and RadhaSoami Faith)

God is the Ocean of Love.

In Divine Love, Light and Sound, Radhasoami, Peace Be to You,

James Bean

Light your inner lamp | Categories of Life

Categories of Life

There are two categories of life: one is trees and plants, and the other is creatures and animals, i.e., living beings. What is Bhog Yoni, i.e., the form of being meant for consummation? What is Ubhay Yoni, i.e., the form of being meant both for consummation and elevation? Which form of being is called Karma Yoni, i.e., the form of being meant for action? How many varieties or species of living beings are there in the world? What system or arrangement has God made for them? What is the principle of Karma-phal, i.e., the consequences of action? In which situation is a man dwarfed? What are the rules of Creation? It is necessary to know them.

The Meaning of Guru

NO other language of the world has a word such as ‘Guru’ found in Sanskrit and Hindi language. Guru is the power that takes you from darkness to light. ‘Gu’ stands for darkness, and ‘Ru’ stands for light. Therefore, Guru is one who takes us from darkness to light. The power that removes or eliminates darkness and ignorance from our lives is Guru. A teacher teaches. We address some as Master or Swami, but all of these words take us far, far away from guru. Guru does not have a synonym.

Likewise, there are a few other things which are worthy of our attention. When a person comes to an intense light or to a source of light, his aim is to get himself lit or to come out of darkness. People seeking light can be placed under four categories.

situations God has created

Now we have to see and determine as to which category we belong. One category is called coming near a Guru. There are four categories. Understand them one by one, and thoroughly. Those of you who come as students, come for learning, for knowing. They come with a spirit of curiosity. They come close to their Guru as his students. They make all efforts to assimilate all that they hear from their Guru. For this, they take down notes in a diary; they make a few rules for their own observance; they enhance their knowledge and bring maturity to what they have heard and understood. They are already grown-up adults. We should become wise, increase the scope of our understanding and enquire about all kinds of things. As students we should try to know what situations God has created for us to decipher and understand.

God made something

If God made something, He made rules also along with it He gave books He gave constitution also. What has been written in them? Because the knowledge, too, comes prior to creation. First, the world was created. Later on the plants and trees and after that, creatures, animals, insects etc. followed. Milk has been put at the disposal of mother before the birth of a child. She gives birth to her progeny later. Milk comes to mother months ahead of the birth of her child. Then her child is born. God has made this advance arrangement of food and drink so that the newly-born does not die of hunger. So, man should gain all kinds of knowledge and join Satsang. When he does all this, then he is a Vidyarthi, a student.

The second period is one of Sadhana. It is only after this that a disciple reaches the stage of an aspirant or Sadhak. He says, “I have heard all that I was supposed to hear, understand, and have known all methods, technique, strategy etc. Now I am a man of rules. I sit daily [for sadhana]. Mind is not allowed to waver or dither here and there. Now I belong to Him with Whom I was connected. I am going ahead according to the method I was told. I am getting benefited as well.” Colour has so well fused with the other colour [guru], that the mind does not waver in any unwanted direction.

The Disciple Obeys the Guru

After this comes the next stage which I call the stage of a disciple. The earlier stage was the one in which knowledge was acquired. Now, one becomes an aspirant, Sadhak, performs sadhana. Remember that a student is a disciple, an aspirant is a disciple; one who is performing sadhana is sitting in a laboratory. Now he is checking and testing in his laboratory - all that he has heard in his life. He sits down for sadhana regularly everyday. He follows strict rules of prayer and worship. And in practical field of life, he performs his actions well and takes care of his home and family. He earns money, he earns Dharma also; he experiences thankfulness also, and he expresses his gratitude to his God. He has both money and religion. Full of thankfulness and recognized by others he is forging ahead in life with cheerfulness.

Ready to dedicate himself to God

This is what we describe as an aspirant’s situation. Situation is nearly the same; but the situation or condition of discipleship is still a better condition. “When I would not be there, he would be there; he, who was my disciple till the other day is ready to sacrifice everything.” He is ready to sacrifice, ready to dedicate himself to God; he is ready to jump into the fire; he is ready to obey all instructions. Now you do not have to enquire if he is coming. If the Guru has ordered, then he is bound to come. Now, he has become a soldier.

Service Changes the Fate

When a person is fully dedicated to service, then the lines of his fate change. If earlier his luck-line was under pressure and that of misfortune was gaining ascendance, now it is his luck-line which is awakened and rising. Man begins to enhance his good fortune; man begins to bring about his own well-being. And when this happens then the mistakes of the service-man are ignored and forgotten. In that condition when a person is performing genuine service, he becomes the order of his guru. Now he becomes oblivious of everything except what he has to do, what his guru has asked him to do.

Kabir had said, “Jab mori chadar bankar ghar aayee. Rangrez ko deeni. Aisi rangi, lalo lal kar deeni.” When the weaver delivered my sheet, I gave it to the dyer. He dyed it so red, deep red, that it is now red and red all over. Everyone has come here to be dyed red i.e., to be coloured in the total and absolute colours of devotion, but these fellows have come to be Itwari Lals only. So we call them, ask them to come to us. And they come with their terms and conditions, otherwise not. Remember one thing about Satsang. Earlier I walked up and came for Satsang, but now it is your duty to come. We have framed these rules.

Bhakta and Vibhakta

The third is the position of disciple. He is the disciple of his Guru. He should be identified with and recognized as the disciple of his Guru. The fourth is the category or stage of a Bhakta or devotee, i.e., a Guru–Bhakta. The relation between Bhakta [devotee] and Bhagwan [God] is wonderful, in which one thing is unique: we are not Vibhakta [divided], i.e., Bhakta and Bhagwan are one and the same thing. There are only two categories of men: either they are Bhakta [devotees], or Vibhakta [divided]. Somebody is a devotee of wealth; someone is a devotee of his wife and you do not know about the third person – whose devotee is he? But you have to become the Bhakta of your guru. Once you are a Bhakta then you have nothing left in you, and it is from here you become yourself. But never become a Vibhakta or a divided self.

Vibhakta, Divided

Vibhakta, Divided, is the one who is fragmented and Bhakta [devotee] is one who is linked. A devotee is one who is thirsty. Suppose there is a man who has been counting and accumulating money. He would love to do something - he would keep money aside and leave other work as well. He would first look for water. He is thirsty for his guruji. He is prepared to put everything at stake. He needs his guru. He has to drink the Amrit [nectar-water] of his guru. So a Bhakta is one who is keenly thirsty or very hungry.

Most of the persons in the world are half or incomplete. If they go to God, they go half; if they live, they live incomplete; and when they die, again they are half inclined, irrespective of what people say about them. We are on a journey for completeness but we are leading an incomplete life.

Dry Wood catches Fire Quickly

Now try to understand that, if once you had a keen desire for fullness, it was not a chance affair. If the wood is not wet, it catches fire properly. I see that there are very, very few persons who can catch that fire. The saints say that one should love Hari [God], i.e., Hari-jan [men of God]; or in other words, those who are in the world of guru in Hari’s form. Such a person, having keen desire for Hari or guru becomes a living, burning fire. You should love them. It is further explained that Hari bestows wealth and grace on his devotees.

God will bestow wealth, money, goods and grace, and many other gifts for living in the world. One should take a few steps towards God, and He will begin showering His love, grace and riches.
