This day is very important because it honours the spiritual gurus and teachers who have generously mentored us over our life journey. Guru Purnima serves as a heartfelt tribute to these luminous mentors who have served as beacons of enlightenment in our lives.

Guru Purnima is a day to honour the academic or spiritual gurus who positively impact on a person's life by imparting wisdom, knowledge, and direction.

On the occasion of Guru Purnima this year, here are some message that you can send to your teachers, mentors and guides to show your respect and love for their contribution in your well-being:

1. You were a light for me in the dark, You were an inspiration and an aspiration, Support me always, I will succeed in all ways, Happy Guru Purnima!

2. Whenever I wanted inspiration, You were there to guide and be, Thanks Guru for being, Such a pillar of support for me, Happy Guru Purnima!

3. The grace of a Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup, he will only get a cupful. It's no use complaining about the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel, the more one will be able to carry. It's entirely up to him. Happy Guru Purnima!

4. Some people come in life and make you a better being, All these people are Guru’s who give you wings, Happy Guru Purnima!

5. It is time to pay respect to the Guru, for without the knowledge imparted by him, the mind would have become shallow, as Guru Nanak said, "Through shallow intellect, the mind becomes shallow, and one eats the fly, along with the sweets."
