Guru Purnima 2025: The True Way of Worship as Revealed by Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj
Introduction
Guru Purnima is a sacred occasion celebrated across India and other parts of the world to honor spiritual teachers and gurus. It is observed on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Ashadha month in the Hindu calendar. In 2025, Guru Purnima will be observed on Sunday, July 13. While traditionally associated with honoring teachers in various spiritual traditions, the true meaning of Guru Purnima has often been lost in rituals and misconceptions.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj, a truly enlightened Saint, has brought to light the authentic purpose of Guru Purnima. Based on holy scriptures from all major religions, He has shown the correct way of worship and the essential role of the Tatvdarshi Guru—the truly enlightened Saint—in leading the soul to salvation.
This article aims to explore Guru Purnima’s real significance and the right method of worship as taught by Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj.
1. The Significance of Guru in Spiritual Life
The word Guru is derived from two Sanskrit roots: Gu (darkness) and Ru (light). Therefore, Guru means one who dispels the darkness of ignorance and leads the disciple towards the light of true knowledge. According to the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4, Verse 34), it is advised:
"Tad viddhi pranipatena pariprashnena sevaya. Upadekshyanti te jnanam jnaninah tattva darshinah."
(Bhagavad Gita 4:34)
Translation: Seek the truth by approaching a Tatvdarshi Saint (Knower of the Supreme Truth). Surrender to Him, serve Him, and ask questions with humility. Such Saints can impart the real knowledge of God.
This verse clearly establishes that only a Tatvdarshi Guru can grant the knowledge that liberates the soul. Guru Purnima, therefore, should be the day to remember and revere such a genuine enlightened Guru—not a symbolic or blind-faith-based ritual.
