🌕 Purnima in July 2025: Celebrating the Sacred Guru Purnima

The Purnima (Full Moon) in Indian tradition is much more than a lunar event—it is a time of spiritual reflection, devotion, and gratitude. In July 2025, Purnima falls on Wednesday, July 10, and will be celebrated as Guru Purnima, a deeply revered day in Hindu culture.

📅 Date and Importance

In 2025, Guru Purnima is observed on July 10, aligning with the full moon of the Hindu month of Ashadha. This day is dedicated to spiritual teachers (Gurus)—those who guide us from darkness to light, from ignorance to knowledge.

🕉️ Spiritual Significance of Guru Purnima

The word “Guru” means “the one who dispels darkness.” On this auspicious full moon day, devotees honor their spiritual mentors, teachers, and guides who have contributed to their personal and spiritual growth.

It is also believed that Maharishi Ved Vyasa, the compiler of the Vedas and author of the Mahabharata, was born on this day. Hence, it is sometimes referred to as Vyasa Purnima.

• Early morning bath and fasting
• Worship of Guru or their photo/idol with flowers and offerings
