On 9th July 2017, thousands of devotees gathered at the Art of Living Retreat Centre in Boone, North Carolina to celebrate Guru Purnima with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Here’s what Gurudev Spoke...
The celebration of Guru Purnima is to remind you that you need to reflect on the truth that you are light. It is to refresh your knowledge and revive your emotions.
A celebration revives the emotions, rejuvenates the spirit and reminds you of the knowledge. This is the purpose of a celebration. Tough this is there all the time, an occasion is needed to bring it up. You see, the ocean has water all the time but when the full moon rises, the tide become higher. In the same way, a celebration reminds you that ‘you are the light’ that you are beautiful, loving and kind; It refreshes the knowledge and revives the emotions. Emotions need revival time and again, and that is what the celebration of Guru Purnima is all about.
You are part of an ancient tradition since millions of years. You are a drop in the river of wisdom, and on Guru Purnima, you remember this, you reflect and rejuvenate yourself! All that it needs is just remembrance. That brings the feeling of gratefulness.
