Taking place on July 21, 2024, is the full moon in Capricorn, in Vedic astrology sign of Uttara Ashada - a day revered as Guru Purnima.
This auspicious occasion is dedicated to honouring and expressing gratitude to one's spiritual and academic teachers, or "gurus," who impart wisdom and guidance. Traditionally, devotees gather to perform rituals, offer prayers, and participate in satsangs (spiritual gatherings) to celebrate the significance of their gurus in their lives.
The full moon in Capricorn, especially in the Nakshatra of Uttara Ashada, is thought to enhance qualities such as perseverance, determination, and success. It is a period that encourages individuals to contemplate their spiritual journey, recognize their achievements, and set goals for ongoing development and education.
Under the moonlit sky, communities unite to share stories, wisdom, and blessings, creating an atmosphere of respect, happiness, and optimism. Whether you are an experienced spiritual seeker or a novice, Guru Purnima serves as a reminder of the transformative power of knowledge and the significant influence teachers have on our lives.
A "Guru" is someone who dispels darkness and brings enlightenment.
This day is not only dedicated to human guides or teachers; it is a significant occasion to show appreciation for your life's experiences. These include the challenges or tragedies that have taught you valuable lessons about yourself, as well as the meaningful people, places, and things in your life.
The symbol of Uttara Ashada is an elephant's tusk, associated with Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.
This star, where the full moon occurs, is governed by the sun (surya), reflecting a state of being that is expansive, humanitarian, and spiritual.
Uttara Ashada symbolizes the ten directions and the higher qualities of humans, leading to success.
