“Guru is a human being as well as an institution. The guru, a human being, provides us with a day for worshipping and celebrating the institution that transcends biographies.”

Just as you have Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, Gurupurnima is Guru’s Day. This is also called vyasa-purnima, the anniversary of Bhagavan Vyasa who occupies an exalted place in the hierarchy of teachers. Although there were gurus for Veda Vyasa, we look upon Veda Vyasa as the link between teachers we know and teachers we do not know.
