Guru Purnima

Guru Purnima at Ramakrishna Math 

Guru Purnima, a day dedicated to venerating spiritual teachers, is a grand occasion at Ramakrishna Math. While the specific date may vary depending on the lunar calendar, the celebrations typically involve:

• Special Puja:  A puja, a reverential ceremony, is held to honor Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, and the lineage of Ramakrishna Math Gurus. Devotees offer prayers, flowers, and sacred substances.
• Bhajan:  Throughout the day, devotees come together to sing devotional songs (bhajans) in praise of the Gurus. The uplifting music creates a spiritually charged atmosphere.
• Spiritual Discourse:  Swamis (monks) may deliver lectures on the significance of Guru Purnima and the importance of the Guru-Shishya (teacher-disciple) relationship.

These are some general elements, and the specifics may vary depending on the location of the Ramakrishna Math branch.  However, you can always check the Ramakrishna Math website or social media pages for announcements about upcoming celebrations  (https://rkmath.org/events/).
