Guru Purnima is primarily a day to express gratitude and reverence to our Gurus. These Gurus can be formal spiritual teachers, lineage holders, or any person who imparts knowledge and wisdom that guides us on our path of life.

-Disciples traditionally pray, perform puja (worship rituals), and recite mantras (sacred chants) to express their gratitude and seek blessings for continued guidance.
