Know Guru Purnima 2025 date, rituals, puja time, and spiritual significance today
There is a certain hush on full‑moon nights in Ashadha. It feels like the world leans in to listen. July 10, 2025, isn’t just any Purnima, it is a cosmic RSVP to every teacher’s invitation, and if you are tuned into the Vedic beat, you will definitely feel its pulse.
What makes this Guru‑Moon special?
A full moon, shining brightly on Ashadha Purnima, is more than picturesque. It is symbolic. So, here’s the tea: Jupiter (yeah, Guru Graha, the big boss planet) is hanging out with the Moon on Guru Purnima, and honestly, it will give off major spiritual energy. Think gratitude, some deep self-reflection and maybe even a dash of cosmic glow-up. Supposedly, this is the birthday of Sage Veda Vyasa, the OG storyteller who basically dropped the Mahabharata and the Vedas on us. Basically, Guru Purnima is all about locking in that guru-disciple connection, big time.
Rituals to channel blessings on Guru Purnima

Sunrise bath cleanses the body and mind. Look out for the Snan‑Daan muhurat around 4:10 am–4:50 am.
-
Invite your guru, whether living, passed, or interior, onto a clean altar, offering flowers, fruits, incense, and a lamp. That’s the classic padapuja or sandalwood tribute to their feet.

Don’t skip charity. Giving food, clothes, or wisdom helps that cosmic circle pulse even stronger.
