Guru Purnima greetings to you all!
The day is also dedicated to all spiritual and academic
Gurus for their wisdom and enlightenment. The day is traditionally observed by
Hindus, Buddhists and Jains to express their gratitude for their teachers. The
festival is celebrated on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Ashadha
(June-July). This year it is being celebrated on July 5 (Sunday).
On this day, take the opportunity to recognise the
immense contribution a teacher has in my lives. Here are some heartfelt quotes,
wishes and messages that I can share. Take a look:
* A Guru always helps one to get knowledge and stands
beside students when they have problems.
* It is an incomparable journey where the Guru leads you
from the visible to the invisible, from the material to the divine, from the ephemeral
to the eternal.
Guru Purnima epitomizes
the importance given from time immemorial to Gurus, who continue to enrich the
lives of people with knowledge and wisdom, generations after generations. This
reverence, respect and tribute for teacher or Guru is seen in Guru Mantra; "Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru devo Maheshwara�Guru sakshat, para Brahma, tasmai shri gurave
namah" (Guru is the creator, Guru is the preserver, Guru is the transformer,
Guru is the supreme god or almighty, we bow to that Guru). In a somewhat
similar vein, Waheguru in Sikhism refers to the almighty God and is used as a
main mantra, called gurmantar. The Gurus and their wisdom contained in the
sacred text, “Guru Granth Sahib” are central to Sikhism.
A Guru is someone who
shares wisdom, imparts knowledge and guides disciples to sail through ups and
downs in life. He is someone who shapes character, preserves culture and
transforms our future. He shows us the righteous path. This day gives us an
opportunity to acknowledge Gurus’ contribution in our lives and express sincere
gratitude to me.
* Thanku being my guru.......!!!!Shri Shyam nandan
Thakur!!! (my primary teacher ) ...
* Happy Guru Purnima !!!
One of the most
inspirational stories of Guru-Shishya relationship is that of Swami Vivekananda
andhis Guru Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. They came from different backgrounds,
different belief systems and shared opposing views. For a long time,
Vivekananda did not accept Ramakrishna as his Guru and challenged his views.
Swami Vivekananda faced numerous challenges after the passing away of his
father and turned to Ramakrishna for his guidance. This was the turning point
in his life and with the guidance of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda began
his spiritual journey.
While paying his
reverential respect to his Guru, Swami Vivekananda once said: "I am what I
am, and what I am is always due to him. Whatever in me or in my words is good
and true and eternal came to me from his mouth, his heart, his soul. Sri Ramakrishna
is the spring of this phase of the earth’s religious life., of its impulses and
activities." In fact, Swami Vivekananda started and named the spiritual
organization, Ramakrishna Mission, after his Guru, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.
In India for ages, a Guru or a teacher has played a very significant role
in every individual's life and has been the most important influence after his
or her parents. According to our Puranas, Bhagwan Krishna studied under Sage
Sandeepani, Bhagwan Sri Rama was mentored by Sage Vasishtha and Viswamitra. An
ordinary boy met Chanakya and became the great Chandragupta… Arjuna became the
famed warrior under the guidance of Guru Dronacharya.
* To the world, you may just be a teacher but to your
students, you are a hero! Happy Guru Purnima!
* You are the inspiration, made me win with a spirit. It
wouldn’t have been possible without you, Happy Guru Purnima!
* You are a light for me in the dark. Support me always
and I will succeed in all ways.
