Gurupournima is the pure full moon day of the Hindu calendar month of ashadh (usually coincides with July of the English calender). This day is celebrated every year to express gratitude unto the Guru Principle. The ArchGuru, Sage Vyas (founder of the Guru-disciple lineage), is worshipped on this day. This festival is the greatest festival in the life of a seeker. Of course, even this celebration in gratitude to the Guru is done for the seeker's spiritual progress, since the Guru is a manifest form of The Lord Himself. The Guru Principle is a thousand times more active on this day than on any other through out the year. Under the pretext of this celebration, the festival provides an unmatchable opportunity to progress spiritually through service and sacrifice unto the Truth. That is why seekers and Disciple participate in this mission for the Truth with all their body, wealth and mind. The Guru Lineage The Guru's energy of initiation (anugraha) itself is the universal energy of the Guru principle. This energy is transmitted from the Guru to the disciple. This energy originates from the God principle, gets transmitted through the Guru-disciple lineage, and culminates in God-realization by the disciples in the lineage. To augment a disciple's faith in his Guru, the Sadguru and Paratpar Guru of the Guru guide that disciple, using the Guru as the medium. It is the day that the Guru Principle or the Teaching Principle of God is thousand times more active than on any other day of the year.

Participating in Gurupournima preparations and celebrations provides seekers unmatchable opportunities to serve the Guru Principle and thus, progress spiritually. Thus, Gurupournima holds equal importance to every seeker, regardless of his religion or spiritual path. Why is Gurupournima celebrated and what is its importance? The real disciple remembers his Guru every moment and strives to do spiritual practice regularly. Even so, this day is especially celebrated for the following reasons: Seekers celebrate Gurupournima to express gratitude to the Guru. On Gurupournima day, the grace, blessings and non-verbal (subtle) knowledge endowed by the Guru principle is a thousand times more than that on any other day.
