Guru Purnima 2024 Vrat Katha

“According to the scriptures, once Sage Ved Vyas expressed his desire to his mother, Satyavati that he wanted to see God but his mother explained to Sage Ved Vyas that he would have to attain God himself. After this, Sage Ved Vyas went to the forest and started doing severe penance. When Rishi Ved Vyas's penance was completed, Lord Shiva appeared to him and explained the essence of Brahma knowledge to him. Also, Lord Shiva entrusted him with the responsibility of spreading this knowledge to everyone. Rishi Ved Vyas composed the four Vedas and many esoteric texts based on this knowledge. After this, Sage Ved Vyas built an ashram where he imparted Brahma knowledge to many other sages. Those sages considered Sage Ved Vyas as their Guru and worshipped him. From then onwards, the tradition of Guru disciple was established and education started in the ashram. However, the festival of Guru Purnima started being celebrated from the day when Sage Ved Vyas had requested Lord Ganesha to write the Mahabharata and before starting the writing of the Mahabharata, Lord Ganesha had worshipped Ved Vyas as his Guru on the day of Ashadha Purnima.”
