Ashadha Purnima · Deity: Vyasa / the Guru principle
Wednesday, July 29, 2026
Panchang that morning (IST): Shukla Purnima tithi · Uttara Ashadha pada 3 · Moon in Capricorn
Ashadha Purnima honors the guru — celebrated as the birthday of Veda Vyasa, who ordered the Vedas and composed the Mahabharata. It is the day students, disciples, and seekers formally thank those who carry knowledge to them.
Paduka puja or a simple offering to one’s teacher, guru-dakshina, and study of a text one’s guru gave. Many mark it by beginning a new discipline of practice.
A letter or call of genuine thanks to a teacher — academic, musical, or spiritual — is the living form of this festival anywhere.
