Guru Purnima Celebrations

July 29, 2026

"Guru Purnima celebrates the human ability to rise beyond physical nature, and the Greatness of Adiyogi, who made this possible." — Sadhguru

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. This ancient practice is a spiritual path in itself, and many beings down through the ages have attained to wonderful states by offering food to one and all. Even if you are not able to attend in person, food can be offered on your behalf through your contribution for Annadanam. You can also invite your family and friends to participate in the Annadanam process.
