The first full moon after the summer solstice in the month of Ashadha (July-August), is known as Guru Purnima. The word “Guru” in Sanskrit is translated as “dispeller of darkness.” A Guru dispels the seeker’s ignorance, allowing him to experience the source of creation within. The day of Guru Purnima is traditionally the time when seekers offer the Guru their gratitude and receive his blessings. Guru Purnima is also considered an especially beneficial day to practice yogic sadhana and meditation. We at GD Goenka Public School, Rohini, Sector 9, believe in the principle of guru worship starting from the home where parents are the first gurus and extending to school where teachers become mentors for our children. Happy Guru Purnima.
