Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwara: I
Guru Sakshat Parabrahma, Tasmai Shri Guruve Namah ll

Vyas Gufa Mandir is an ancient cave that is situated at Mana village in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, just few kilometers away from the famous Badrinath shrine.It is believed that it is this place where Sage Veda Vyas composed the Mahabharata epic with the help of Lord Ganesha.Vyas Cave is located on the banks of Saraswati River at Mana village which is the last Indian village situated at Indo-China Border.

Vyasa is perhaps the greatest sage in the history of Hindu religion. He edited the four Vedas, wrote the 18 Puranas, the epic  Mahabharata, an the Srimad Bhagavatam and even taught Dattatreya, who is regarded as the ‘Guru of Gurus.’

Maharshi Veda Vyasa was born at the end of Dvapara Yuga. Also known as Krishna Dvaipayana, Vyasa was born of Sage Parashara and mother Satyavati Devi. Vyasa is considered one of the seven (long-lived, or immortals), who are still in existence according to Hindu tradition.

Vyas Gufa is believed to be the place where sage Vyas composed the Mahabharata epic with the help of Lord Ganesha. He also composed 18 Puranas, Brahma Sutras and four Vedas. Maharishi Vyas statue is installed in the caves and worshiped by the pilgrims. A distinct feature of the temple is the roof which resembles the pages from the collection of his holy scripts.

There is also an interesting story related to the place that explains the broken tusk of Lord Ganesh. When Vyas was composing Mahabharata, he needed someone to take down his dictation and asked the learned Ganesha for the same. Ganesh agreed but he had a condition – that Vyas would not stop even for a moment or else he would stop writing and leave. Vyas dictating as fast as he could and Ganesh bent down over the script pages. Finally, his reed pen broke.To which, he broke off a part of his tusk to be used as a pen thereon.

Veda Vyasa as he is believed to have arranged the single eternal Veda into four parts — Rigveda, Samaveda,  Yajurveda and Atharvaveda.
The word “Vyasa” (Vyasa) refers to “compiler,” “arranger,”and also means “separation,” “division.”

Guru Purnima Significance

Guru Purnima is the day dedicated to worship of Guru. On this day disciples offer Puja or pay respect to their Gurus.Guru Purnima is also known as Vyasa Purnima.

The word ‘Guru’ is elaborated as ‘Gu’ means ‘darkness’ and ‘Ru’ means ‘remover’ hence ‘Guru’ means ‘dispeller of darkness’. Guru is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and leads the disciple towards the path of enlightenment.

The day is celebrated by Hindu monks as a respect to Guru Vyasa, creator of four Vedas. It is the day when Lord Shiva became the first guru when he began transmitting yoga to his disciples, Saptarishis – seven sages. The day is celebrated as a symbol of guru-shishya tradition.
