Guru Purnima (Vyas Purnima), is celebrated on Ashadh Sud Poonam, the day of the full moon in the month of Ashadh. On this day, Hindus remember Ved Vyas, the eternal guru of Hindu Sanatan Dharma, as he classified the 4 Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva) and wrote the Mahabharata and 18 Puranas. Guru, a Sanskrit word, comes from the root words ‘gu’ meaning darkness or ignorance, and ‘ru’ meaning remover of that darkness. A guru is one who removes our darkness in the form of ignorance, helps us overcome  Maya, and guides us on the path to realizing Bhagwan.  Join us in offering guru bhakti, our devotion, and earnest prayers,  to  His  Holiness Mahant  Swami  Maharaj, with bhajans, video presentations and spiritual discourses by  swamis and youth.

On Shravan Sud Punam, which generally falls in the middle of August, Hindus celebrate Raksha Bandhan. During this festival, sisters tie a rakdhi or raksha, a colorfully decorated string, on their brother’s wrist.

Rakhdi symbolizes protecting brother from negative influence. In return, he gives her a gift and vows to take care of her. In the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, Mahant Swami Maharaj and sadhus tie rakhdi’s on devotees. This practice reminds devotees to surrender themselves to Bhagwan, who protects them from maya and helps them progress on the spiritual path.

The month of Shravan in the Hindu calendar is considered among the holiest of the year. It brings many different festivals, one of the most significant is known as Janmashtami, or the birth of Bhagwan Shri Krishna. Janmashtami will be celebrated on Aug 24, 2019, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
