Ujjain: On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima, holy Bhasma Aarti was performed at Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga temple

Ujjain: The Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple in Ujjain hosted the revered Bhasma Aarti on the auspicious day of Guru Purnima. The early morning rite, which is regarded as very heavenly, attracted a great number of devotees. Chants and spiritual passion filled the temple as Lord Shiva and spiritual masters were worshipped.

Additionally, the month of Ashadh comes to a close today, and the month of Sawan begins. The Kanwar Yatra will also start today.

The temple is visited by devotees after they have taken a holy plunge. Today, those who received the Guru Mantra and underwent initiation from their guru will visit and revere them.

A quote by Kabir Das that was written centuries ago, “Guru Govind dono khade kaake lagu paay balihari Guru aapne Govind diyo bataye,” emphasizes the Guru’s brilliance and is still applicable today.

A guru is seen as a necessary mentor for achieving success in life. In the holy city of Varanasi, the guru is the most important person. On this day, thousands of people visit their revered gurus and give them gifts according to their capacity.

On Guru Purnima, it is believed that honoring gurus improves people’s lives. In Varanasi, it is also customary to receive the Guru Mantra on this day.

Giving gifts and taking a bath are seen as very auspicious activities on the day of Ashadha Purnima.

Because Maharishi Ved Vyas was born on this day, Guru Purnima is also known as Ashadhi Purnima and Vyas Purnima.

In Indian tradition, a guru is more significant than God because of the guru’s unique significance in material existence. In addition to Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and Sikhs also commemorate this event. On this day in Buddhism, Lord Buddha bestowed his first Dharma Chakra Pravartan.
