Guru Purnima is a sacred festival celebrated to honor and express gratitude to gurus-teachers and spiritual guides-who illuminate our lives with wisdom. Observed on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July), it marks the birth anniversary of sage Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata and compiler of the Vedas.
Traditionally, disciples offer respect, perform rituals, and seek blessings from their gurus. The day reminds us that a guru removes the darkness of ignorance, guiding us toward knowledge and self-realisation. Across India, Nepal, and Bhutan, Guru Purnima celebrates the timeless bond between teacher and student. Here are quotes on Guru Purnima you can send to your gurus, mentor, friends or family.
