GURU PURNIMA
GURU PURNIMA
The journey of kaal chakra
From Satyayug to Kalyug
Every yug enlightened with
Gurus par excellence.
Vedvyas, Vasista, and Vishwamitra
Adi Shankaracharya and Buddha
Ramakrishna and Ramana Maharshi
Given us legacy of teachings profound.
Ashada Purnima in the Hindu calendar
Celebrated as Guru (Vyas) Purnima
To pay offerings to the role of a Guru
In one's journey from darkness to light.
Diverse curricula and innovative methods...
Nothing regarded as superior or inferior
The end is one, though means are many
The purpose is one, ideas are many...
All teachers work towards the one goal
Nurturing beliefs, values, and attitudes bold.
The world expects a lot from teachers
Who in turn aren't allowed to expect
With our weapons of sacrifice and compromise
We are none less than warriors who fight!
