Today is Guru purnima... the occasion when we pay our gratitude towards our past, present and future gurus.

Guru is the giver of knowledge.. the source of wisdom.
Without a guru one's life is like the directionless feather which wanders in the free air. Guru is the one who disciplines one. With guru's grace on one, one can reach liberation- liberation from pain, doubt, darkness of ignorance.

The most important thing which each of us should n ought to remember not taking our gurus for granted.. even though one gets the wisdom for free, one must pay something even a fruit to the master. This should be done cause we should never take anything especially from our guru for free or it'll n we lose its value!

When is it Guru Purnima celebrated?

In honor and birth celebrations of Ved Vyas as the foremost acharya and guru in Sanatan Dharma, the Guru Purnima festival is celebrated annually on Ashadh Punam. This is also known as Vyas Purnima. On this day, the spiritual guru is offered pujan.

Who is Ved Vyas?

Around some 5000 years ago, he was born on an island on the holy river Yamuna. His father was Parashar Rishi, a sage and his mother was Satyavati. He taught the Vedas to his pupils with ardent devotion and dedication. It is said that Mahabharata is the 18th Puran that was written by Ved Vyas. He fathered four famous sons, Pandu, Dhritarashtra, Vidur and Sukhdev. Ved Vyas received knowledge from great sages like Vasudeva and Sanakadik. He described that the most important goal in one's life is to attain Narayana or the Divine Supreme.

What are his works?

The author of the great epic Mahabharata, Ved Vyas was the first and greatest acharya of Sanatan Dharma. He is responsible for classifying the four Vedas, wrote the 18 Puranas and recited the great Mahabharata. In fact, the Mahabharata is often called as the fifth Veda. The most important and the most glorified section is the Bhagwad Gita, the lesson recited to Arjuna by Lord Krishna on the battlefield. The biography of Ved Vyas is very vivid and makes an interesting read.

Lets pay our revere to the great Ved vyas ji who relegated of four vedas .

And not to forget our Dakshinamurti Shiva...
