Guru Purnima: Why a Guru?
Since childhood, I kept hearing:
“Guru Govind dono khade, kake lagun paay;
Balihaari Guru aapne, Govind diyo milaye.”
I always wondered — How can a Guru be above God?
God is supreme. Why would we place anyone higher?
Honestly, the idea of a Guru even felt distant and a little scary to me.
Then, in 2019, something shifted.
I was sitting blank , full of confusion, anger, and pain… a storm within.
Just one glance at Him — and something inside me softened.In that moment, tears started flowing.
But on that day in 2019(that day was also Guru Purnima)
I felt seen, held, and guided in a way I had never known before possible.
It didn’t fix everything, but something quietly changed.Transformation is a lifelong journey — I am still walking it, still stumbling, still learning every single day.
Many friends have asked me, “Why are you so drawn to one person?”
I never really found words to explain it.
But maybe today, I can try
It’s not about blind devotion or putting someone on a pedestal.
It’s about having someone who lights up a path we might never dare to walk alone.
Someone who holds our hand through our chaos, doubts, and fears.
For most of us, God is a belief we grow up with — something we trust but rarely experience directly. A Guru gives you a glimpse, a taste of something beyond just belief.
On this Guru Purnima, I feel grateful for that
guidance and for the immense grace that keeps unfolding, every single day.
