The full moon day in the month of
Ashadh (July) of the Hindu calendar is celebrated as Guru
Purnima by all Hindus all over. This day is celebrated as a
mark of respect to the “Guru” i.e. a teacher or a preacher.
Observed as a sacred memory of the great sage Vyasa, the
ancient saint who compiled the four Vedas, wrote 18 Puranas,
the Mahabharata and the Srimad Bhagavata. Guru, the teacher
is respected by students. Here's a card given to me on
Gurupurnima with the students wishing me with a quote 'Shine
like a star' and saying, 'A good teacher is like a candle -
it consumes itself to light the way for others.' Find
