Guru Puja is an inspiring festival
celebrated in the Hindu
tradition. It is an auspicious day
for worshipping our guru. It is
celebrated on the day of Vyas
Poornima or Guru Poornima.
Guru = Gu + Ru. ‘Gu’ means
darkness or ignorance and ‘Ru’
means the remover. Guru means
someone who remove darkness
or ignorance.
What are qualities of a Guru? Guru
is like Lord Brahma because he
creates the character in
children.
The Guru is like Lord
Vishnu because he protects the
good qualities in his students.
The Guru is like Lord Shiva
because he destroys the bad
habits and bad qualities of his
children.
Guru Shishya Relationship: It is a
spiritual relationship where
knowledge is transmitted from
the guru to the shishya. This
relationship is based on
genuineness of the guru and the
respect, commitment, devotion
and obedience of the shishya. It
is the best way for knowledge to
be conveyed. The student
eventually masters the
knowledge that the guru
embodies.
Gurus help us realize
our true potential.
Examples of Guru- Shishya
relationship are:
• Krishna - Arjuna
• Ramakrishna - Vivekananda
• Chanakya - Chandragupta
• Vishwamitra - Ram/Laxman
Who is your Guru ? Have you
