2024 WMHT Calendar

 

 

Guru Poornima/ Vyasa Poornima:

The day was Vyasa Poornima in the month Ashada. It was called Vyasa Poornima in recognition of Vyasa Maharshi, who authored the eighteen Puranas.


On this day disciples honor and felicitate their guru and seek his or her special blessing. Devotees also perform Sri Satyanaryana Vratam.


This festival is very important to Sai devotees as they worship their Guru according to their might and get the blessings from him. Those who worship their Guru with devotion and sincerity on this day, will always have the Guru with them. We should completely surrender ourselves to him and seek Jnana Marga.
