Why Celebrate Vyasa Purnima?

The Purnima (Full Moon) Day in the month of Ashadha (July-August) is known as "Vyasa Purnima or Guru Purnima".

This is a very sacred day on which special worship is performed to the 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. Also to show gratitude to all those teachers who have made us who we are till today.

Among the Gurus, Sri Veda Vyasa stands the foremost and on this day, special pujas are offered to Vyasa Maharishi. He codified the Vedas into four divisions [1131 Sakhas or Recensions divided into Rig (21 sakhas), Yajur (101 sakhas), Sama (1000 sakhas) and Atharvana Veda (9 sakhas)]; wrote the Brahma Sutras (555 Sutras or Aphorisms integrating the messages of the Upanishads relating to Jiva, the Universe and Brahman); wrote 18 Maha Puranas. He had witnessed and narrated the various incidents of the Mahabharata (with Ganapati as the writer) which contains the crown jewel of our Dharma, the Bhagavad Gita. Sage Vyasa is also believed to be a Chirajeevin Deathless).
