Guru Purnima 2021: The day is celebrated to acknowledge the contribution made by teachers in the form of knowledge and wisdom. It is dedicated to gurus and has an immense significance for Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. The day is celebrated with much fervour not only in India but also in Nepal. The word Guru derived its origin from the Sanskrit language where ‘Gu’ means darkness and ‘Ru’ means the removal of darkness. Guru Purnima is also known as Vyasa Purnima, after the author and legendary sage who featured in the epic Mahabharata. 

It is observed on the full moon day during Ashadha month and the day commemorates the birth anniversary of Veda Vyasa and disciples offer Puja or pay respect to their Gurus. The day is also celebrated by Buddhists to commemorate the day when Gautama Buddha gave his first sermon at Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh. 

On Guru Purnima, people worship their spiritual preceptors or gurus. They bring them gifts, visit temples and offer them respect to seek their blessings. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people might not be able to visit their teachers. Therefore, we are here to bring forth some wishes and messages that you can send or post on WhatsApp and Facebook and quotes and images that can be sent on various social media platforms.
