GURU PURNIMA

We all have teachers that have helped us to grow, to learn and to transform into the people we are today. Sometimes our teachers are obvious to us, we may have spent lots of time with them or we could have actively sought them out for specific guidance. Other times this student/teacher relationship is beyond our awareness. We have people and circumstances that sometimes unexpectedly offer an opportunity to learn, or to receive help in seeing a greater truth about ourselves and the world we live in. This serendipitous exchange can elude us in the moment and it could take many years of growth before our awareness reveals that we were actually a student in the thick of receiving a valuable lesson from a person who happens to be playing the role of the teacher.

Guru means remover of darkness. Purnima means full moon 

The full moon in July is a day of celebrating the teacher, the remover of the darkness of ignorance,  the ones that shepherd us towards a greater understanding of life and where we stand in it all. 

We all have been guided at times in the past and this is our opportunity to send a wave of gratitude into the hearts of those that we have been so fortunate to cross paths with, the ones we remember, the ones we don’t and the ones that are still to come.

Happy Guru Purnima
