Gurupurnima from Jadan
The Guru-Bhakti Satsaṅg gathers in the paṇḍal; on Guru Pūrṇimā, a resolution is taken for the whole year.
Once again, a request is made to the brothers and sisters. Come to the Guru-Bhakti Satsaṅg in the paṇḍal. This much is requested. At least this is done. Do not miss it. Tomorrow is Guru Pūrṇimā. There is one more special thing. On every Guru Pūrṇimā, a resolution is taken. That resolution spans the entire year. In this heat, the village fields are prepared. You all know this. Just as the fields are prepared, the mind must be prepared. A spiritual resolution is taken. It is taken once in the day. With thought, it is taken. Keep it in mind tomorrow. Śrī Gurujī will remind everyone. Even if the reminder is missed, the resolution must be taken. Then effort is made to fulfill it. That effort is for the whole year. This is the importance of Guru Pūrṇimā. This importance is the fulfillment of resolutions. By the blessings of Gurujī, they are fulfilled. This is a spiritual lecture about Yoga. It comes from the Indian tradition. Remember to take the resolution. Hold it with awareness. The blessings bring it to completion. So come to the satsaṅg. Take the resolution. Let it be fulfilled. The day is unique for this. Do not let the chance go. The Guru’s call is clear. Answer it with resolve. The year-long commitment begins now. The fields do not wait; neither should you. Prepare the mind. Plant the resolve. Let blessings nurture it. This is the essence of Guru Pūrṇimā.
"every Guru Pūrṇimā, one should take a resolution."
"these resolutions that we take, with the blessings of Gurujī, they are fulfilled."
