The Spiritual revolution that has been set in motion by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba for the revival of Dharma and thereby to lead mankind towards the ultimate goal of self-realisation, is based on the five cardinal principles - Human Values - Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence. The seed for this was sown, when the first message was promulgated through His Divine lips, when He was a boy of fourteen, guiding those who flocked around Him, to worship the Lotus Feet of the to cross the ocean of birth and death, through His famous bhajan:

" Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam
Dustara Bhava Sagara Taranam… "

Gurupurnima is the day on which one celebrates the dispersal of the darkness of ignorance from the mind." - Baba

Gurupurnima is the day on which one desire to worship the Guru and please him by propitiation. But, the real significance lays making the mind shine in the serene splendour without any trace of evil qualitites and fixing it firmly on the Supreme Being. When this real victory over mind is attained, that day is real Guru Purnima, when one mind itself becomes Guru, leading one to the right path, this is the full moon of the mind, for the moon is the presiding deity over the mind.

This day is also celebrated as Vyasa Purnima, the full moon day, dedicated to the memory of sage Vyasa. Vyasa was born on this full-moon day. He completed the codification of the four Vedas on this day. He completed the writing of the eighteen Puranas on this day. Owning to the passage of time, Vyasa Purnima came to be called Guru Purnima.

Bhagawan adds:

" Guru Purnima is considered as the day on which one celebrates the dispersal of the darkness of ignorance from the mind." Bhagawan, being the indweller in every being, is guiding and guarding individuals in their march towards the shore of eternity dispelling the darkness of ignorance. The march is on…as He keeps His focus on each one of us making strides towards Him, the Ultimate.
