The adoration of Guru Pūrṇimā is an embodiment of the ability to bring about perfection in life through elevating the soul. This upcoming Pūrṇimā (full moon) is additionally known as Guru Pūrṇimā or Vyāsa Pūrṇimā.

The disciple should worship the Guru daily and keep his name in mind in order to absorb the knowledge imparted by the Guru. The disciple constantly senses his proximity thanks to daily chanting. When a disciple forgets the Guru, the Guru likewise forgets him, and the disciple-guru relationship is broken. By keeping him in mind every day, relationships are preserved.

The worldwide celebration of Guru Pūrṇimā marks the attainment of infinity through receiving darshan (face to face) of Gurudev, as well as through worshipping him and remembering him.

Gurudev darshan and contemplating his shape is like contemplating Śiva’s limitless form. Anantaśiva nāma kīrtana is comparable to sankīrtana of Gurudev’s name and kīrtana of Gurupadiṣṭa mantra. Enlightenment is the result of the knowledge that the Guru imparts, and enlightenment can only be attained through the grace of the Guru. The light of enlightenment is seen everywhere 'in the whole universe', and this is Advaita.

On this auspicious event one should make a commitment to adore the Guru and serve for a year with determined spirit. Along with Guru Pūrṇimā devotion and Guru darshan, the service resolution should once more be renewed.

Our best wishes on this auspicious event go out to all trustees, seekers, followers and Mr Lambie, who lives his life in accordance with Advaita.
