"Worship Ideal, Not Individual or Book."
- Shri M. S. Golwalkar Guruji

Namaste,
Guru Poornima or Vyas Poornima (Ashadha Poornima) is the traditional day when the pupil renders homage to his teacher. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has given this day a national character. It is on this day that Sangh worships its guru, Bhagawa Dhwaj, the symbol of our dharma and our nationhood. Guru Poornima falls this year on 11 July.

The great and inspiring emblem that the Sangh has chosen is the immortal Bhagawa Dhwaj which brings before our eyes a living image of our ancient, sacred and integrated national life in all its pristine purity and entirely crossing all superficial barriers of province, sect, creed, caste, language and custom. Since times immemorial, it has been the symbol of our dharma, our culture, our traditions and ideals. It embodies the colour of the holy sacrificial fire that gives the message of self-dissolution in the fire of idealism and the glorious orange hue of the rising sun that dispels darkness and sheds light all around. It has been the one guiding star to all our endeavours, material as well as spiritual, the one unfailing witness to the penance of yogis and the sacrifices of heroes and symbolized the dreams of countless millions of this land all through the ages. In short, it has been the highest, the noblest and the truest symbol of our nationhood.

Dhanyawaad,
