Guru Purnima (Poornima) also known as Vyasa Purnima marks the birthday of Ved Vyasa. It is a spiritual tradition in Hindu culture dedicated to spiritual and academic teachers, who are evolved or enlightened humans, ready to share their wisdom, with very little or no monetary expectation, based on Karma Yoga. It is celebrated as a festival in India and Bhutan by the Hindus, Jains and Buddhists. This festival is traditionally observed by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains to revere their chosen spiritual teachers / leaders and express their gratitude. The festival is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July) as it is known in the Hindu calendar of India. The festival was revived by Mahatma Gandhi to pay tribute to his spiritual guru Shrimad Rajchandra.

Human beings are just flesh and bones without an enlightened mind and soul. It is the guru who imbibes good qualities and his teachings to make a human being a sophisticated individual. The first guru or teacher of a person is the mother, who makes him understand the true value of life and guide him on how to differentiate between the right and the wrong. She instills in him the moral values in the childhood which later gets taken over by the bonafide gurus in the form of teachers. So the celebration of this day by honoring our gurus becomes essential. Only the proper teachings and blessings of our gurus-parents, teachers, and our well-wishers can make us a cultured and refined individual.
