Shri Guru Purnima Utsav

Shri Guru Purnima Utsav holds a special place for the devotees of Sai Baba of Shirdi. This auspicious day is dedicated to honoring Sai Baba as the supreme guru who imparts spiritual wisdom and guidance. Falling on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June-July), this day holds immense significance as it commemorates the birth of the great sage Vyasa, who authored the Mahabharata and classified the Vedas. Disciples offer their respects through rituals, prayers, and various forms of tribute to their gurus, acknowledging their guidance and wisdom. It is a time for reflection, seeking blessings, and reaffirming the commitment to the path of learning and spiritual growth.

During the Bhandara, devotees from all walks of life come together to prepare and serve food, reflecting the inclusive spirit promoted by Sai Baba. The event fosters a sense of community, humility, and gratitude as followers engage in selfless service, echoing Baba's teachings of love and compassion. The Utsav not only pays homage to Sai Baba but also reinforces his timeless message of kindness, charity, and devotion.
