Namaskaram,
Wish you all a blessed Gurupoornima.
I am not sure where these lines are from, but they are certainly worth a read. It explains the significance of Gurupoornima.
Guru poornima is sacred for many reasons. This day, the seeker who suffers from identification with the false objective world is initiated into the reality of the 'Unseen Motivator' within him. Guru poornima is not just one day in the year, marked out in the calendar. It is all days when the mind of man becomes full of pleasant wholeness, fully illumined with the light from the moon.
On this day, one should try to transform his heart making it pure and sacred. The realization of that wholeness is the real guru poornima and not the offering of pada puja to some guru and obtaining a mantra from him. One should resolve today to turn his thoughts to God; to strive for the purification of his heart and to seek self-realisation.
There is only one Guru. He is God. That Guru is within you.
Purify the heart to let the Guru dwell in it. GuruPoornima is an occasion for cleaning the mind to make it absolutely pure.
