Swami Nirgunananda: On Guru Purnima, Take Personal Time to Meditate On Your Guru

Swamiji discusses the most important holiday of Guru Purnima. Whereever you find yourself in the world, you can celebrate it alone, in private.  On this day, the disciple meditates on their relationship with his/her guru. Guru is everything - my mother, my father, sister, brother, friend, the guru everything to me! We dedicate this day to this relationship.

This holiday stems back to the day of birth of Sage Vyasa. He was the sage who put in writing all the Vedas. Note: the day is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July). In 2018 it falls on July 27th.
