	Parmarth Update - Guru Purnima 24th July 2002
		Unlike a “preacher” or “minister” or “rabbi”, a guru does not necessarily have to be a religious figure, nor does it have to be a person of a specific religion, gender, age or ethnicity.
		Guru Purnima is the day in which we pay our reverence to the Guru — it is a day filled with devotion, with love, with piety.
		Guru Purnima is celebrated on the full moon day of Ashadha and the four month period of Chaturmas (the holy time of year in which the monsoons come and the saints refrain from movement).
