Celebrate Guru Purnima by remembering the timeless teachings of Neem Karoli Baba — his life, his love, and how to honour Maharaj Ji at your home temple.

A celebration of wisdom, devotion, and the eternal bond between Guru and disciple What is Guru Purnima? Guru Purnima is one of the most sacred festivals in the Hindu spiritual calendar, celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) of the month of Ashadha (June-July). It is a day dedicated to expressing gratitude to our Gurus the spiritual teachers who illuminate the path from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom. The word Guru comes from two Sanskrit roots: Gu (darkness) and Ru (remover). A Guru is literally one who removes the darkness of ignorance. On this auspicious day, devotees across India and the world bow in reverence to their teachers, saints, and divine guides. The Legend Behind Guru Purnima Guru Purnima is traditionally associated with Maharishi Veda Vyasa, the great sage who compiled the Vedas, wrote the Mahabharata, and gifted humanity the Bhagavad Gita. It is also believed to be the day when Lord Shiva the Adi Guru (the first teacher) began transmitting the knowledge of yoga to the Saptarishis (seven sages). This day is not merely a ritual it is a living reminder that the Guru's grace is the most powerful force on the spiritual path.
