Guru Purnima Celebrations

Jul 12, 2025 11:30am-7:00pm (ended)

In every seeker’s heart stirs a quiet longing for a light that leads us out of the shadows of confusion. This light is the Guru’s presence, the Guru Tattva, the timeless truth that guides us from gu (darkness) to ru (light).

More than a mentor, the Guru is a Sacred Channel of Grace who rekindles the spark within us, dispels the shadows of ignorance, and steadily leads us towards Self-realization.

Let us come together in love, gratitude, and reverence to celebrate our Guru’s invincible light.
