Guru Purnima, also known as Vyasa Purnima, is a traditional Hindu festival celebrated across India and Nepal to pay tribute to spiritual teachers. However, in the age of Kalyug where false practices are widespread, very few truly understand the original purpose of Guru Purnima. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, the only Tatvdarshi Saint of this era, has redefined the festival’s significance based on our holy scriptures. He reveals that Guru Purnima should not be just a ceremonial tribute but an occasion to recognize and surrender to the True Guru who grants salvation.
This article explores the real meaning, origin, and importance of Guru Purnima, as well as how it should be celebrated in light of the true spiritual knowledge given by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
🌕 What is Guru Purnima?
Guru Purnima is celebrated on the full moon (Purnima) day of the Ashadha month of the Hindu calendar (which usually falls in June–July). In 2025, Guru Purnima will be celebrated on Sunday, 13 July 2025.
The term "Guru" means teacher, and "Purnima" means full moon. Traditionally, this day is associated with Maharishi Ved Vyas, who is credited with compiling the Vedas and writing the Mahabharata. Hence, it is also called Vyasa Purnima.
On this day, people perform rituals like:
-
Offering garlands and gifts to their Gurus
-
Organizing discourses and bhajans
-
Lighting lamps and performing arti
However, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj asks a vital question: Is offering flowers and sweets enough to attain salvation?
📖 What Do Scriptures Say About a Guru?
Every holy scripture—whether it's the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Quran, or Guru Granth Sahib—clearly states that only a True Guru who is authorized by the Supreme God can grant salvation.
📚 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4, Verse 34:
“Approach a Tatvdarshi (Enlightened) Saint with humility and serve him; he will impart knowledge that will free you from bondage.”
📚 Yajurveda Chapter 19, Mantra 25:
"Only a Guru who imparts true spiritual knowledge and true mantra is authentic."
📚 Guru Granth Sahib, page 67:
“Without the True Guru, no one finds the path to salvation.”
This proves that Guru Purnima should not be a day of blind rituals, but a reminder to find and surrender to the real Tatvdarshi Guru.
🙏 Who Is a True Guru?
According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, the qualities of a True Guru are:
-
Gives evidence-based spiritual knowledge from all holy scriptures.
-
Identifies the Supreme God and reveals the path to reach Him.
-
Gives three divine mantras (Naam) as prescribed in Vedas and Gita.
-
Destroys sins and bad karmas through Satnaam and Saarnaam.
-
Does not ask for donations, dakshina, or perform meaningless rituals.
-
Leads the soul to Satlok, the eternal abode, beyond birth and death.
A True Guru is not one who just sings or tells religious stories. He must fulfill scriptural criteria and show the way to complete salvation.
🕯️ The Tragic Reality of Today’s Celebrations
Today, Guru Purnima has become a commercial event. People worship so-called gurus with drums, dance, and fanfare, but they:
-
Do not learn scriptural knowledge
-
Continue in the cycle of birth and death
-
Remain caught in worldly sorrow and illusion
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that mere idol worship, feet-washing, or singing bhajans without knowledge or Naam is not devotion. Real devotion begins only when a soul takes Naam initiation from a True Guru and walks the path of truth.
✨ Guru Kabir Sahib Ji on the Importance of Guru
Kabir Sahib, who is the Supreme God Himself and also came in the form of a Guru, emphasized the importance of a True Guru through his couplets:
“गुरु गोविंद दोनों खड़े, काके लागूं पाय।
बलिहारी गुरु आपने, गोविंद दियो बताय॥”
Translation: If both Guru and God appear before you, surrender to the Guru first, because he alone shows you the path to God.
This verse doesn’t glorify just any guru—it glorifies the True Guru, who connects the soul to the Supreme God (Kabir Sahib) and liberates it from the web of illusion.
🌼 Who Is the True Guru of the Present Era?
In the current age, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is the only True Guru who:
-
Provides spiritual knowledge backed by Vedas, Gita, Bible, Quran, and Guru Granth Sahib
-
Identifies Kabir Sahib as the Supreme God and proves it scripturally
-
Grants Naam Diksha (Initiation) free of cost
-
Emphasizes moral living, addiction-free life, and true devotion
-
Has transformed crores of lives through miracles of True Worship
Crores of people across the globe celebrate Guru Purnima in the true way—by remembering the grace of their Real Guru, taking part in Naam Jaap, satsangs, and collective spiritual service.

💡 Guru Purnima Is Not About One Day of Worship

❝ Remembering the Guru once a year is like remembering medicine after death. Devotion must be constant and guided. ❞
