Guru Purnima @HC - 10 July, 7:30 pm
At Hindu Centre, we always observe this with great care and devotion.
Knowledge underpins all our lives and knowledge comes from a guru.
We give our pranams at the feet of all our gurus from Ishwara to our great teachers in our schools and colleges, our mentors at work and in our daily lives.
Hindu Centre has held various talks about Gurus - Bhagavan Krishna, Dakshinamoorthy, Dattatreya, Surya as Guru to Hanuman, Agastya as guru to Sri Rama and many more.
In recent times, the Guru-power was manifested to its highest degree in Sri Ramakrishna.
The Yoga-Sutras [1.26] say: Sah purvesam api guruh, kalena anavacchedat, ‘God is the Guru of all ancient gurus, because He is not subject to time.’
To Sri Ramakrishna the word ‘guru’ applied in its fullest sense. Although he never had the consciousness of being a guru, whatever he said and did was what a guru does to disciples— namely, to awaken them spiritually and also to free them — yasmat bandha-vimoksanam.
