🪔 Introduction: The Essence of Guru Purnima
Guru Purnima, a sacred festival in Indian tradition, is celebrated to honor and express gratitude to the Guru — the spiritual teacher, mentor, and guide who removes darkness and leads one to enlightenment.

At Gyaan Sarjan, we believe that the role of a Guru is not limited to the classroom or ashram — the Guru is anyone who brings true knowledge (Gyaan), awakens consciousness, and inspires inner transformation.



📖 Historical and Spiritual Significance

Vedic Roots: The word Guru is derived from two Sanskrit syllables — "Gu" meaning darkness and "Ru" meaning remover. Thus, a Guru is one who removes ignorance and leads towards truth.

Vyasa Purnima: Guru Purnima is also known as Vyasa Purnima, marking the birth anniversary of Maharishi Ved Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata and compiler of the Vedas. He is regarded as the Adi Guru of the Vedic tradition.

Yogic Perspective: As per the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Guru holds a central role in guiding the student (Shishya) on the path of self-realization (Atma-Jnana). This bond is sacred, transformative, and timeless.

🌱 Relevance of Guru in Modern Times

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the presence of a true guide is more important than ever.

At Gyaan Sarjan, our vision is to preserve the ancient Guru-Shishya tradition while integrating it with modern education and holistic development. A Guru today may take the form of a Yoga Teacher, Life Coach, Professor, or even a parent — anyone who uplifts you mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.


💡 Guru and Inner Transformation

True education (Vidya) is not just the acquisition of degrees or skills — it is the awakening of inner potential. A Guru:

Helps discover your true purpose (Swadharma)

Instills discipline (Tapas)

Inspires self-inquiry (Svadhyaya)

Leads you to freedom (Moksha)


At Gyaan Sarjan, we cultivate these values in every workshop, course, and session we offer.



🙏 Gratitude to Our Gurus

On this auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima 2025, we bow down with deep respect to all the Gurus who have guided us — known and unknown, traditional and modern, physical and spiritual.

We especially thank all the Yoga Masters, Vedic Scholars, Educators, and Mentors who have shaped Gyaan Sarjan’s journey since its inception in 2019.
