Gurupurnima Satsang and Celebration
Today is Guru Pūrṇimā, an auspicious day for offering reverence at the Guru's feet. The program includes early morning initiations and ceremonies. A central event is the arrival and establishment of the twelve Jyotirliṅgas from the sky into the temple. This is a rare opportunity for devotees to witness and receive blessings. The schedule also includes devotional singing, discourse, and the distribution of sanctified food. All are welcome to participate in these observances to make their lives fruitful.
The twelve Jyotirliṅgas are sacred shrines across India. Each has its own history and grants the fulfillment of wishes to pilgrims. The Guru is the principle that leads from the darkness of ignorance to the light of wisdom, not merely a physical form. True devotion is directed toward the divine light within. Satsaṅg, the company of truth, refines the individual and leads to liberation.
"Without the Guru, no task is accomplished; even millions of efforts cannot cross the ocean of existence."
"The Guru is that one who is transforming that spiritual divine light into the disciples."
