Observing Guru Poornima

How do we look at Guru Poornima?
Some observe Guru Poornima as “Teacher’s Day”, as a day of festivity. Some make it a day to express reverence towards the Guru. Some even see a deeper significance here, that of upholding the sacred teaching traditions of yore. The teacher is not just the human being in front of the students in a particular form, but the teacher symbolizes the tradition of teacher-ship and student-ship enshrining a very intimate relationship between the two down the ages.

भगवद्गीता से सीख: असली जीवन ही श्रेष्ठ है।
हमारी देश की संस्कृति में अनेक गुणों का, जीवन मूल्यों का वर्णन किया गया है जिनसे हम एक अच्छा, सच्चा और कुशल जीवन व्यतीत कर सकते हैं। इनका पालन करने के अनेक मार्ग भी हमारे सामने रखे गए हैं। और कई लोग ऐसे होते भी हैं जो पूरे मन से इन मूल्यों को मानते हैं। लेकिन कुछ लोग ऐसे भी होते हैं जो इन मूल्यों को दिल से मानने की जगह बस मानने का दिखावा कर रहे होते हैं। आइए देखते हैं कि ऐसे दिखावटी व्यवहार के बारे में श्रीकृष्ण क्या कहते हैं।
