गुरु पूर्णिमा गुरुओं के पूजन का पर्व है। गुरु की पूजा, उनका आदर, परमात्मा का ही आदर है। ज्ञान का आदर, ज्ञान का पूजन है, ब्रह्मपूजन करने का ही पर्व है ये गुरुपूर्णिमा। #GuruPurnima pic.twitter.com/PwvGKOJpj6

Guru Purnima is marked on the full-moon day of the Hindu month Ashadha and is celebrated by the Hindus, Jains and the Buddhists to honour one’s ‘gurus’ or teachers who guide us through our lives towards the path of enlightenment.
The celebration is marked by ritualistic respect to the guru called ‘Guru Puja’.
The Buddhists celebrate the festival in honour of the Lord Buddha, who dedicated his life to enlightenment. On the other hand, most Hindus celebrate the festival in honour of the great sage Vyasa, known as one of the greatest gurus of ancient Hindu traditions.
