Guru Purnima
“OUR GOD IS OUR GURU”
One who dispels the darkness of ignorance and guides towards the light, one who shows the right path to wandering aspirants, ends one’s ego and implants the seed of culture, one who transforms the incompetent and ignorant person into a competent, wise, and worthy person – this great person of excellence is Guru. Guru Purnima day is of profound importance to entire humankind. Following scriptures, this day is considered one of the most significant days and also regarded as a victory of light of knowledge over darkness. Hence, every students/ pupil and followers deem their Guru as God and worship, pray, adore their Guru as a tribute of thanks on this day. And say that “MY GURU IS MY GOD”. But in case we all Sai devotees there’s a slight difference. Because Our Guru is not equivalent to God. We have got God himself in a form of Guru. And this is an excessively fortunate thing for us. Maybe others say that ” My Guru is My God”. But we proudly affirm that ” Our God Is Our Guru”. God himself, world father himself, The Trinity “Brahma, Bishnu, Maheswar” in one form of Jagad Guru himself Bhagwan Shri Sanjay Sai Baba have taken incarnation in this sacred land. From very small things to the highest spiritual point, in every step of life to live in the right way Swami has been protecting, giving knowledge, love, and showing path as a Supreme Guru. That’s why for all Sai devotees Guru Purnima is even more significant. So, on this auspicious day, more than five thousand devotees from across the world visit Shri Sanjay Sai Vrindavan Aashram to have darshan of Our Supreme Guru, Bhagwan Shri Sanjay Baba and celebrate auspicious Guru Purnima every year.
