Guru Pournima (“ Pournima means full-moon”) Day in the month of Ashadha (July-August) is the one which disciples and devotees honour and felicitate their guru and seek his or her special blessing. This is a very sacred day on which special worship is performed to the Acharyas(Gurus), who, through their Infinite Compassion and Supreme Grace, have imparted the Knowledge of the Absolute(Brahma Vidya) through a long and continuous line of Acharyas(Guru Parampara) to all the Seekers of the Self. It is of great importance in Shirdi, perhaps because it is the only festival which Baba asked us to celebrate. The festival originated in the Buddha’s time when the monks used to take diksha (instructions on their spiritual practice) at the beginning of the rainy season. The practice was then borrowed be the Jain tradition and later the Hindus. Hindu’s Puran says that programme respecting or worshiping ‘Guru’ on this day started at the time of ‘Vyas’ writer of Mahabharat Baba asserted the significance of this day indirectly.
