About the Festival
Guru Purnima is the most sacred full moon of the Hindu year — the day the cosmos itself turns inward, creating the most potent conditions to receive the grace of the Guru.

Across 29 days, the Sangha gathers worldwide for daily homas, Alankara Sevas honouring the Sarvajnapeethams, and the culminating Guru Purnima celebration.

Jeevan Mukti Vratham
The Jeevan Mukti Vratham is a sacred observance instituted by THE SPH — a complete preparation of body, mind, and spirit to receive the full grace of Guru Purnima. Jeevanmukti declares the supreme truth that liberation is not deferred to death but is available now, in the living body. Through daily Agamic practices, the disciple aligns with the living Guru and builds the sacred Gurumudi offering, day by day, toward the Guru Purnima culmination.
9 July – 29 July 2026 — concluding on the auspicious day of Guru Purnima.
The Guru & the Guru Gita
The Guru is the greatest force in the universe. As the Sri Guru Gita declares — "Gu" denotes darkness, "Ru" denotes light; the Guru is Brahman who swallows the ignorance of the disciple. Every other relationship adds something to you; the Guru-Disciple relationship adds You to you. Guru Purnima is the day to offer our gratitude, our seva, and our very self at the feet of the living Guru.
"The root of meditation is the Guru's form. The root of worship is the Guru's feet. The root of mantra is the Guru's word. And the root of liberation is the Guru's grace." — Sri Guru Gita, Verse 86
Guru Purnima Sevas
The highest offerings of the festival — the sacred sevas of Guru Purnima Day. Each is a direct expression of gratitude and surrender to the living Guru. Tap any seva to explore its significance, ritual, and how to participate.
