The most auspicious time for the Purnima Tithi will begin from 4 am (morning) on 13 July, 2022 and end at 12:06 pm (afternoon) on 14 July, 2022. Full Moon day or Purnima that occurs in the Hindu month, Ashadha. 

On this occasion, people worship Lord Vishnu and observe Gopadam Vrat. Ashadha Purnima is also celebrated as Guru Purunima, a full moon day when people seek blessings of their Guru or mentor teachers. 

Purnima Tithi 2022

Guru Purnima has ancient roots and is celebrated by several traditions around the world: the Hindu, Jain and Buddhist communities celebrate with great love and joy, paying respect to their gurus. In the Buddhist tradition, it is said that the Buddha gave his first satsang on Guru Purnima.

We embrace this day to wholeheartedly express our gratitude to our true teachers, in recognition of our great fortune to have encountered such a one who dispels ignorance and reveals true life, boundless freedom and unmoving awareness as our own Being.

Moojibaba

“What is the significance of Guru Purnima day? It is to be reminded of and be one with the inner guru, the Satguru inside our heart—the true heart of being. The Satguru is formless but appears with form only to remind us of the inner, eternal Satguru, our timeless and unborn Reality.

All that exists is only the Supreme Lord of the Universe; with form, he is known by various names but is ever the unchanging One. For those who contemplate, He is discovered as pure and formless awareness within. The true purpose and opportunity of the human experience is to discover this and find true and lasting freedom. Know that this is possible.

I love you all as my own Self.” ~ Mooji
