It is only by the grace of the Guru that the disciple progresses from ignorance to self-realization, from darkness to light.
On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima, I bow down to the great Gurus who mould the personality of the disciple with the spirit of sanskar, service and truth and connect him with the highest ideals of life.
Happy Guru Purnima
This day marks the birthday of Veda Vyasa, the sage who authored the Mahabharata and complied with the Vedas. Guru Purnima is dedicated to honor all the Guru's, mentors & teachers.
