Guru Purnima, or the full moon day (purnima) of the Hindu month of Ashadh, is also known as Vyas Purnima, as it is regarded as the birthday of Veda Vyas.
Veda Vyas is believed to have collated all the Vedic hymns and compiled them into the four Vedas. He also authored great Hindu epics such as the Mahabhharat, which encapsulates the Shrimad Bhagwad Gita, and the 18 purans, including the Shrimad Bhagwat Puran.
The day is also observed to pay respect to all teachers and mentors.
