Guru Purnima is the day dedicated to expressing gratitude
and love for our teachers. This occasion is celebrated on the full moon day of the
Hindu month of Ashadha to commemorates the birth anniversary of Ved Vyasa, the
author of Mahabharata. The word ‘Guru’ comes from two Sanskrit words. ‘Gu’
means ‘darkness or ignorance’ and the word ‘Ru’ means ‘removal’. Hence, Guru is
believed to be the removal of darkness from our lives. It is also believed that
Gautam Buddha gave his first sermon at Sarnath in Uttar Pradesh on this day.
