The story of Guru Purnima is fascinating. Sarabini Rath feedback saying:
Within the yoga custom, Guru Purnima is claimed to be the day Shiva grew to become the Adi Guru or the primary Guru. The story goes that greater than 15,000 years in the past, a yogi appeared within the Himalayas. His presence was extraordinary, and other people gathered. Nonetheless, he confirmed no indicators of life, aside from occasional tears of ecstasy rolling down his face. The individuals started to maneuver away, however seven males remained. When he opened his eyes, they begged him, eager to expertise what was occurring to him. He dismissed them, however they persevered. Lastly, he gave them a easy preparatory step and closed his eyes once more. The seven males started to organize. Days changed into weeks, weeks into months, months into years, however the yogi's consideration didn’t fall upon them once more. After 84 years of sadhana, the yogi checked out them once more. That they had develop into glowing receptacles, splendidly receptive. I might not ignore them. On the subsequent full moon day, the yogi turned to the south and sat because the guru of those seven males. Shiva, the Adiyogi (the primary yogi) thus grew to become the Adi Guru. Adiyogi expounded this mechanics of life for a few years. The seven disciples had been celebrated because the Saptarishis and introduced this information to the entire world. Guru Purnima is taken into account sacred within the yogic custom as a result of the Adiyogi opened the chance for a human being to evolve consciously. The seven completely different points of yoga that had been put into these seven people grew to become the idea of the seven primary types of yoga, one thing that has endured even now.” (From Sarabini Rath).

I’ll go away you with an attractive quote from one of many nice non secular masters of my non secular custom, Swami Brahmanada Saraswati Jagaguru Bhavan Shankaracharya of Jyoti Math:
Getting a human physique is a uncommon factor. Take advantage of it. There are 4 million forms of lives {that a} soul can collect. After that, one will get an opportunity to be human. To get a human physique, subsequently, the chance shouldn’t be missed. In case you don't worth this, then you may be left with nothing in your hand and find yourself crying.
Since you are human, God has given you the facility to suppose and resolve good and unhealthy. Due to this fact, you need to by no means think about your self a weak or fallen creature. What occurred till now could also be since you didn't know, however now watch out… after changing into human, in the event you don't attain God, you've bought a diamond for the value of spinach.h.
