Guru Purnima

We extend our heartfelt invitation to you for our Guru Purnima Festival Celebration, a time to honor and celebrate the profound wisdom of all revered gurus.

Meaning Behind Guru Purnima: What is a Guru?

In Sanskrit, "Guru" means "the dispeller of darkness." It embodies the essence of guidance, enlightenment, and wisdom. As the metaphorical finger pointing to the moon, a guru directs us towards the light while we navigate through the darkness of our minds.

In the context of yoga philosophy, darkness symbolizes not negativity, but rather ignorance or lack of understanding that burdens humanity. The guru serves as a beacon of knowledge, illuminating our path and dispelling the shadows of ignorance.

Guru Purnima is an annual celebration of the birth of gurus worldwide.

Join us as we celebrate the birth of our Guru, Baba, and take part in honoring the profound wisdom and light that he offers. It's a joyous occasion to come together, express gratitude, and bask in the radiance of knowledge and spiritual guidance.

Your presence will enrich our celebration and make it truly special. Let's join in communion as we pay homage to the timeless teachings of the Guru.

Looking forward to sharing this auspicious occasion with you!
