🌕 What is Guru Purnima?

Guru Purnima is a sacred festival celebrated across India and Nepal to honour Gurus – our spiritual teachers, life mentors, and guides. It falls on the full moon day (Purnima) in the month of Ashadha July

Derived from the Sanskrit word “Guru” meaning dispeller of darkness and “Purnima” meaning full moon, this day symbolizes the removal of ignorance and the celebration of wisdom and enlightenment.

In Indian tradition, a Guru is more than just a teacher — a Guru is the one who shows the path to self-realization, spiritual awakening, and righteous living

Guru is Brahma, Guru is Vishnu, Guru is Maheshwara. Guru is the Supreme Brahman. Salutations to that Guru.

🌺 Cultural and Spiritual Importance

According to ancient texts, Guru Purnima marks the day when Maharishi Veda Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata and compiler of the Vedas, was born. This is why it is also celebrated as Vyasa Purnima. Disciples offer Guru Dakshina — a token of respect and devotion — and engage in spiritual practices like satsang, puja, meditation, and seva.

In modern life, Gurus can take many forms — from spiritual guides to school teachers, parents, elders, or anyone who has imparted life-changing wisdom. Guru Purnima becomes an opportunity to pause, reflect, and thank those who helped shape our path.

🪔 Jewellery – A Timeless Gesture of Gratitude

In Indian tradition, gifting is a powerful expression of respect. On Guru Purnima, devotees often offer simple, meaningful gifts to their Gurus — such as sacred cloth, garlands, or ornaments.

Inspired by this, Jwellery by Kajal presents ornaments that echo our cultural roots — from gold-finish temple-style necklaces to pearl earrings symbolizing peace and devotion. These pieces are not just decorative; they carry sentiment, tradition, and timeless value.

A small gesture, like a piece of jewelry, becomes a lasting reminder of the bond between the Guru and the disciple.

🌸 In Conclusion

Guru Purnima is not just a ritual — it is a feeling of deep devotion, spiritual respect, and surrender to truth. In a world full of distractions, a Guru lights the way with clarity, knowledge, and unconditional grace.

This Guru Purnima, let us fold our hands and bow our heads in gratitude.

Let us honour the light within and the light that guides us.
