Spiritual and ethical pursuits are the highest goals in life. Unfolding ones happiness by actively interacting with the world is the meaning of ethics and spirituality. Listening about the wisdom the Self from a self realized Guru and reflectively practicing the wisdom in ever unfolding relationship is the means of self realization. Sage Veda Vyasa represent the dawn of Vedic Wisdom and is considered the Guru who initiated the systematic teaching of self knowledge by personal practice and social interventions.
Veda Vyasa brought the Vedas into Indian consciousness and expounded its wisdom through numerous commentaries and narratives. He is India's conscious keeper and value maker. On this auspicious occasion of Veda Vyasa's birth anniversary, 15 July, on the full moon day of the month of Ashada, we spiritual seekers prostrate at the lotus feet of our Guru and seek the blessings of all gurus who have come and blessed humanity.
Jai Jai Gurudeva
