Guru Purnima is also known as Vyas Purnima. Maharishi Ved Vyas, who attained the status of Guru, was born on this
day.
Guru is worshiped on this special full moon date. We acquire knowledge only through the Guru. Guru shows us the way to move from darkness to light.
The importance, respect and sense of true loyalty and dedication of Guru has always been there in Indian culture. Maharishi Ved Vyas, who composed and taught the Vedas, has been given the status of the first Guru in Hinduism.
For this reason, Vyas Purnima is also celebrated every year on the date of Ashadha Purnima.
