Guru Purnima is a significant Hindu festival which is celebrated to express gratitude towards teachers also known as gurus.
The festival falls on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha. The word "guru" is derived from Sanskrit.
On this auspicious day, the disciples pay homage to their teachers (gurus) and seek their blessings.
Guru Purnima serves as a reminder to acknowledge the invaluable role played by teachers in shaping one's life. Disciples approach their gurus to seek their guidance and blessings for their future progress. The Guru Purnima festival is not limited to any specific religion. The festival emphasises the universal importance of having a mentor in one's life, irrespective of what religion they belong to.
