Guru Purnima Quotes, Anmol Vachan & Wishes

A full moon dedicated to the teachers who guide us.

Guru Purnima falls on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Ashadha and is dedicated to honoring teachers and spiritual guides. Hindu tradition ties the day to the birth anniversary of Maharishi Ved Vyasa, the sage credited with compiling the Vedas and authoring the Mahabharata, which is why it is also known as Vyasa Purnima. Reflect on the day with our Quotes and Anmol Vachan collections.

The day carries meaning beyond Hindu tradition too: Buddhists mark it as the day Gautama Buddha delivered his first sermon at Sarnath, while Jains associate it with Lord Mahavira accepting Gautam Swami as his first disciple. Students across India use the occasion to express gratitude toward the teachers who have shaped their lives. Share your thanks with our Shayari and Wishes collections.
