Guru Purnima - Be in Sadhguru's Presence

On the occassion of Guru Purnima, we are delighted to announce a special event on Sunday, July 21, 2024. Immerse yourself in an evening filled with sadhana, guided meditation and insightful wisdom from our beloved Sadhguru.

"Guru Purnima celebrates the human ability to rise beyond physical nature, and the Greatness of Adiyogi, who made this possible." —Sadhguru

Importance and Significance of Guru Purnima

The first full moon after the summer solstice in the month of Ashadha (July-August) is known as Guru Purnima. This sacred day marks the first transmission of the Yogic sciences from Shiva – the Adiyogi or first Yogi – to his first disciples, the Saptarishis, the seven celebrated sages. Thus, the Adiyogi became the Adi Guru or first Guru on this day. The Saptarishis carried this knowing throughout the world and even today, every spiritual process on the planet draws from the spine of knowing created by Adiyogi.

The word “Guru” in Sanskrit is translated as “dispeller of darkness.” A Guru dispels the seeker’s ignorance, allowing him to experience the source of creation within. The day of Guru Purnima is traditionally the time when seekers offer the Guru their gratitude and receive his blessings. Guru Purnima is also considered an especially beneficial day to practice Yogic sadhana and meditation.

Why Do We Celebrate Guru Purnima?

Guru Purnima has always been celebrated in India as the day the first Guru was born and the transmission of the timeless science of Yoga began. For the first time in human history, on this day, Shiva the Adiyogi opened up the possibility for the human race to transcend the limitations set by nature. 

In Sadhguru’s words, “It is on this day, for the very first time in the history of humanity, that human beings were reminded that they are not a fixed life. If they are willing to strive, every door in the existence is open.” 

May this Guru Purnima be an impetus for your growth.
