GURU PŪRNIMĀ and MOON DAY — MOON DAY SATURDAY JULY 8 & GURU PŪRṆIMĀ Saturday July 8 is Guru Pūrnimā, the day on which we pay our deepest respects and receive the blessings of the Guru many fold more than usual. This particular full moon (Sunday in India) marks Guru Pūrṇimā, the day that students and spiritual seekers pay respects to their gurus, those who are responsible for leading them to the true knowledge of yoga. Guru Pūrṇimā falls on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Āṣāḍha, which takes place in June and July. Not by chance, founder of the Aṣṭāṅga yoga tradition, Śrī K Pattabhi Jois was born on Guru Pūrnimā in 1915.

to be honest, i really don't know what to say as i leave today, so i will let my sister harmony say it for me, and quite beautifully i may add. #Repost @harmony_ashtanga ・・・ One last look from the doorway... And just like that this season, this month, this Mysore trip comes to an end. It really felt like the closing of an era this morning as Sharath reminded us that "we don't know what the future holds." As I left the Shala after class, I caught this image, and I felt the reality of his words sink in... A piece of my heart will always live here, and "parting is such sweet sorrow." 💔 Words are never enough to express what we have received, the lessons learned, all the things we leave behind, nor all the subtle inner shifts that occur whilst here... but the ripples continue to be seen and felt. 🙏🏽 . . #guruji #paramaguru #sharathjois #gurujiliveshere #parampara #kpjayi #ashtangafamily #ashtangalove #ashtangayoga #grateful #blessed #sharathtour2017 #alliscoming #lovewins #firstdayofmylife #brighteyes #yogainspiration #harmonyslater #harmonyashtanga #patience (at Shri K.
