When Is Guru Purnima In 2025?

This year, Guru Purnima will be celebrated on Thursday, July 10, 2025. The day serves as a reminder of the vital role a guru plays in an individual's life. As Saint Kabir beautifully expressed in his couplet:
“Guru Govind dou khade, kaake laagun paay;
Balihaari Guru aapne, Govind diyo batay.”
It means, "If both God and Guru were to appear before me, whose feet should I touch first? I would bow to my Guru first, for he is the one who led me to God."

Why Is A Guru Considered Above God?

In spiritual traditions, the guru is revered even above God because it is the guru who shows the path to the divine. A guru dispels ignorance through wisdom, paving the way for success, knowledge, and respect in society. Hence, the significance of Guru Purnima lies in acknowledging the transformative power of a teacher’s guidance.

If you seek progress, success, and peace in life, certain rituals performed on Guru Purnima can bring fruitful results.
