Guru Purnima is the full moon day in the Ashad (a name of Hindu month exists between July to August), according to Hindu Scriptures, it is a propitious day of Guru Purnima, a day holy to the memory of the enormous sage Vyasa. All Hindus are thankful to this antique saint who shortened the four Vedas, also wrote the 18 Puranas, the Srimed Bhagavata, and Mahabharata. Vyasa even educated Dattatreya, who is considered as the “Guru of Gurus”.

Hindus connect supreme importance to religious gurus. Gurus are frequently compare with God and always thought as a link between the Immortal and the individual. All disciples can confuse like the moon by getting from their Gurus when just the moon shines by reflecting the light of the sun and glorifies it. It is believed that on Guru Purnima day all devotees and religious aspirants worship Vyasa in respect of his heavenly personage and all disciples execute a Puja of their personal religious preceptor or Gurudeves.

Guru Purnima is also the day of bottomless implication to the farmers who are in heralds of setting in of the much needed rains as the arrival of cool showers escort in bright life in the fields. It is the time to start your religious lessons; usually saintly seekers begin to make stronger their religious Sadhana from this day.

The period of Chaturmas (four months) begins from Guru Purnima day. Formerly, itinerant holy masters and their disciples accustomed to mend down at a place for study and to conversation with the Brahma Sutras collected by Vyasa and connect themselves in “Vedantic Discussions”.
