Dear Jeyamohan,
In previous years, you participated in the celebration of Gurupurnima. This year, as per my understanding, you are not participating in these events. Is there any chance you take part in it? Or will this Guru Purnima be celebrated without the guru?
Arun
Dear Arun,
I am one of the worshipers of the guru. I am not the guru and am not going to be one in my life. I am a humble follower of the revered sage Vyasa and wrote a book on his way. So I have a qualification to sit at his feet as a student.
On that day I will be in Europe on a trip. I will participate through the web, if possible. Guru Soundar will conduct the event, which will include music, art, and a discussion on Venmurasu.
I expect my friends and readers to celebrate the day as Gurupurnima—Venmurasu Day. They can visit Vellimalai for the event. Or they can celebrate it at their homes; they can read Venmurasu on that day. It is enough.
