July 26th, 2010 - 7:15 pm ICT by ANINevada (US), Juky 26 (ANI): Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has sent greetings to one billion Hindus worldwide on the occasion of Guru Purnima.In a statement in Nevada (USA) today, Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, urged Hindus to pay due respects and express gratitude on this auspicious
day to the guru/gurus to honor this sacred relationship.Rajan Zed further says that guru is a highly revered spiritual teacher/master/preceptor in Hinduism who helps remove the ignorance of the seeker and who leads one from
darkness to light. The guru-sishya (teacher-disciple) relationship lies at the heart of traditional Hinduism. Guru is often allied with the divine. Even Arjuna formally asked Lord
Krishna to be his guru in ancient Hindu scripture Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord).This day is also held sacred to the memory of celebrated rishi Vyasa, arranger of Vedas, and the compiler of Puranas and Mahabharata.Hinduism is oldest and third largest religion of the world and moksha (liberation) is its ultimate goal.
