GURU PURNIMA MARKS OCCASION OF PASSING ON KNOWLEDGE OF YOGA BY ADIYOGI TO SAPTRISHIS

 


GURU PURNIMA MARKS OCCASION OF PASSING ON KNOWLEDGE OF YOGA BY ADIYOGI TO SAPTRISHIS 

In the year 2026, Guru Purnima is being observed on July 29 to revere spiritual guides, art teachers, educators and teachers with a resolve to evolve and grow in spiritual intelligence and minimalize materialism. 

According of Isha foundation [1], "The word 'Guru' in Sanskrit is translated as 'dispeller of darkness.' A Guru dispels the seeker’s ignorance, allowing him to experience the source of creation within. The day of Guru Purnima is traditionally the time when seekers offer the Guru their gratitude and receive his blessings. Guru Purnima is also considered an especially beneficial day to practice yogic sadhana and meditation." 

Isha Foundation adds that Guru Purnima 'marks the first transmission of the yogic sciences from Shiva – the Adiyogi or first yogi – to his first disciples, the Saptarishis, the seven celebrated sages.'  Further, ‘the Adiyogi became the Adi Guru or first Guru on this day. ‘ 

Thus, earlier, the day was meant to visit spiritual masters and seers to pay tribute to them and seek their blessings, however, now the practice has spread to the educational institutions too. The observance has been ritualized and monetized by institutions, social media and market forces. 

Let us know the difference between a Guru and a Teacher through a phrasal diamante poem 

CONTRAST DIAMANTE POEM: GURU AND TEACHER

Guru
Spiritual, divine
Knowing oneself, knowing cosmos, knowing suprem being
Guru dispels darkness of ignorance caused by materialism and egoism, while teacher imparts information about the world and academic disciplines for success in norm-referenced testing
Imparting information, transacting syllabus, testing and ranking students
Content master, classroom communicator
Teacher

An ink attack at Jantar Mantar and aftermath

Image
 An ink attack, which involves throwing ink at a rival, celebrity, politician, or public official, is typically intended to humiliate the target, attract media attention, and convey feelings of hate or disagreement. Such actions undermine democracy and hinder the potential for constructive and meaningful discussions. They substitute logical arguments with cheap publicity stunts. This type of attack goes beyond rational discourse and peaceful debate, creating panic as it may involve hazardous chemicals. However, when a government supporter targeted Abhijit Dipke of CJP at Jantar Mantar, he and his supporters managed to handle the situation calmly, preventing social unrest. A limerick  Young Dipke, a chap quite astute, Was ink-attacked, a messy pursuit. He stayed calm and meek, As the attacker woman did shriek, "Blue's my color!" he said, with sweet hoot.
