The Full Moon Day in the month of Ashadha is known as Guru Purnima. This sacred day marks the very first transmission of the Nyanam from Shiva –First Yogi – to the Saptarishis, the seven celebrated sages.
This momentous occasion took place on the banks of the lake Kantisarovar, which stands a few kilometers above the Kedarnath Temple in the Himalayas. Thus, the Adiyogi became the Adi Guru or the First Guru on this day. The Saptarishis carried this knowing offered by Adiyogi throughout the world.
The word "Guru" in Sanskrit is translated as "dispeller of darkness." Hence the Guru dispels the darkness of ignorance and leads the aspirants on the path to enlightenment. The day of Guru Purnima is traditionally the time when seekers offer the Guru their gratitude and receive his blessings.
On this Ashada Purnima Day, sacred to the memory of the great sage Sri Vyasa Bhagavan, who has done unforgettable service to all humanity for all time by editing the four Vedas, writing the eighteen Puranas, the Mahabharata and the Bhagavata.
On this auspicious day let our Lord who resides in our hearts bless all of us with Sukshma Nyanam..... Sat Guru Nathane Sharanam Ayyappa........
