SHRI SHRI SHRI SHIRDI
SAIBABA SEVA ASHRAMAM

Guru Purnima is a festival of reverence and dedication to the Guru. This festival is a festival of salute and respect to the Guru. It is believed that by worshiping the Guru on this day, his disciples receive the full fruits of the Guru's initiation. Guru has great importance in our life. This Sanskrit word literally translates to 'the one who frees us of ignorance'.

The famous festival, Sri Rama Navami(the most popular one at Nashkal) is being celebrated on every 'Chaitra shuddha navami ' on the auspicious 'Punarvasu' -'Janma Nakshatra' (birth star), of Lord Sri Rama.

Dussehra is the most auspicious festival celebrated by Hindus across India. This festival is also popularly known as Vijayadashami in some parts of the country. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that on this day Goddess Durga eliminated the demon, Mahishasura from the earth. This is why we call it as Dussehra

The festival is linked to the mythical day on which Hindu god Brahma created time and universe. To some, it commemorates the coronation of Rama in Ayodhya after his victory over evil Ravana, or alternatively the start of Shalivahan calendar after he defeated the Huns invasion in the 1st century.

This day is celebrated with great zeal and zest across India. Lord Shiva balances nature by playing like a God of destruction. At the time of Samudra Manthan, Shiva swallowed the poison and all the gods performed dance and chant hymns to stay him awake.

He is described in the Mahabharata as an exceptional Rishi (sage) with extraordinary insights and knowledge, who is adored and raised to a Guru and an Avatar of Vishnu in the Puranas.
