Towards the end of the month, a festival called Guru Puurnimaa (\u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0923\u093f\u092e\u093e<\/strong>) is celebrated in parts of India. This is a day where students offer puja (\u092a\u0942\u091c\u093e<\/strong>) or worship to their teacher or guru (\u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941<\/strong><\/span>). A puja (\u092a\u0942\u091c\u093e<\/strong>) is a religious ceremony performed by Hindus. It’s thought that by performing this ceremony, the student will receive a blessing or word of encouragement from the teacher. It’s India’s version of Teacher Appreciation Day.<\/p>\n

A puja (\u092a\u0942\u091c\u093e<\/strong>) can be very elaborate to very simple. Some Hindus designate a special place in their home to perform a puja (\u092a\u0942\u091c\u093e<\/strong>). This part of the home will usually contain an image\/photo of the teacher. For famous teachers with lots of followers, the puja (\u092a\u0942\u091c\u093e<\/strong>) may be held at a temple.<\/p>\n

Guru Puurnimaa (\u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0923\u093f\u092e\u093e<\/strong>) is the day of Vyaasa’s (\u0935\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0938<\/strong>) birth. Vyaasa (\u0935\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0938<\/strong>) is accredited as the one who wrote the Mahaabhaarata (\u092e\u0939\u093e\u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924<\/strong><\/span>). The Mahaabhaarata (\u092e\u0939\u093e\u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924<\/strong><\/span>) is a text that has a combination of Hindu mythology, history and religious teachings. Followers of this text perform a routine where they get up at four in the morning and meditate.<\/p>\n

At noon, the followers feed their teachers and wash the feet of their teachers out of respect. This is also a day where followers can be inducted into the sannyasa (\u0938\u0902\u0928\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0938<\/strong>) organization, which is basically a group of hermit monks. It’s also a day where followers determine the turning point of their lives, which is to lead\u00a0a life wholly devoted to spiritual resolutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
