From Home to Heart: The Many Faces of a Guru


GURU

G - Guide

U - Us through 

R - Right

U - Understanding 

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः।

गुरुः साक्षात् परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः॥

( The Guru is Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Shiva (the destroyer). The Guru is the Supreme Brahman itself. I bow with reverence to that divine Guru. )

In different stages of life, different people act as guru:
Teachers, Parents, Religious Gurus, Friends, our kids sometimes and even digital mentors can be considered modern gurus. A guru holds great importance in shaping our life. 

Why GURU Purnima celebrated?
It is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the month of Ashadha (June–July) according to the Hindu Calendar.

In Hindu tradition: 
It commemorates the birth of Sage Vyasa, who compiled the Vedas and authored the Mahabharata.
 
In Buddhism:  
It marks the day when Lord Buddha gave his first sermon at Sarnath. 

In Jainism:  
It is the day when Lord Mahavira made Gautam Swami his first disciple. 
(Ref: Internet).


A guru is anyone who opens our mind.
:::
A guru does not walk the path for you but shows the direction and lets you grow through the journey.
:::
A guru give you roots and wings.
:::
A guru not only share knowledge but also shape our character, values, and vision. 
:::
A guru helps us grow, overcome our challenges and walk the right path with confidence and humility with their wisdom.


Life itself becomes the guru through experiences, teaching us silently through every experience, shaping us with trials and failures and elevating us through moments of happiness. 

We can respect a guru by, 

  • Listening them with sincerity, 
  • Following their teachings with dedication,
  • showing gratitude through our actions. 


Our life, our inner self can be our best guru if we try to learn from it. It can guide us too if we preserve our values well and be clear about our goal. 

ONE NEED TO HAVE ATLEAST ONE GURU IN LIFE TO GUIDE US THROUGHT.

Today on the occasion of Guru Purnima celebrated this week, I would like to show my gratitude to all my gurus. Role of guru is vital in the success of a person.

🙏

KIDS : Our reflection, Our Responsibility

Friends, can we spare sometime and go back to our childhood....  The fun days we had, stress-free environment we lived, friend circle we had, level of communication we had with our family, games we used to play with our parents and lot many things.....  We did not have so many exposures but yes, the freedom (stress-free) to play and study. We did not have many activities around but still exposure with no competition around.  We did not have too many tuitions but still had professionals and skilled people around.  Feel so nice to think of all this.  BUT  Are we as parents really providing the same environment to our kids? They are always loaded with too much of competition, too many challenges, too many exams and evaluations, too many tuitions. It's an environment full of stress. Its good sometimes to have competition but everything in excess is harmful. Friends it's taking away their childhood. CHILDHOOD COMES ONLY ONCE LET's NOT SPOIL IT... LET THEM ENJOY...

International Mother Language day (21 feb) : માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ

Friends, tomorrow is International Mother language day , on this occasion i would like to ask that, when our child speaks English fluently we feel proud but at the same time when he/she cannot even utter a word in our mother tongue why are we not feeling shameful?  It's good and necessary to know fluent English but at the same time it's equally important to know fluent reading and writing of our mother tongue.  Mother tongue is our pride. માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ છે. 21મી ફેબ્રુઆરી આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય માતૃભાષા દિવસ તરીકે ઉજવવામાં આવે છે.
