गुरु पूर्णिमाGuru Purnima

Also called Vyasa Purnima · Guru Poornima

The day the teacher is worshipped — the living one, and the line of them going back.

When it falls

The full moon of Āṣāḍha. Also called Vyāsa Pūrṇimā, for the compiler of the Vedas.

The tithi, not a date — the calendar date is a pañchāṅga reckoning and differs by region. Check your local pañchāṅga for this year.

The Reading

The Guru Gītā, read whole; the Guru Pādukā Stotram and the Guru Aṣṭakam; and, where the Datta tradition is kept, the Gurucharitra.
