Significance of Guru Purnima
Guru Purnima, the first full moon after the summer solstice, is especially significant. On this day, the first yogi, Shiva, became the Adi Guru, the first Guru, opening up the possibility of spiritual liberation to humanity. It is a powerful reminder that liberation is possible and for the first time, a doorway beyond all boundaries was opened to humanity.
The day of Guru Purnima is traditionally the time when seekers offer the Guru their gratitude and receive his blessings. Guru Purnima is also considered an especially beneficial day for Yogic practices and meditation.

Annadanam
Traditionally, offering food to spiritual seekers was considered the most supreme offering which is known as Annadanam.
