Useful things to know.

If you want to share your Guru Purnima wishes quickly and easily, follow these tips.

Make digital cards that are easy to send.

Guru Purnima is also known as Vyasa Purnima as it marks the birth anniversary of Veda Vyasa. When creating digital cards, look for images of Veda Vyasa working on the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Consider adding quotes about gratitude or knowledge from the spiritual book as well. Make sure you reflect the spirit of devotion and acknowledge guidance received from your guru. Once you've made your festival card and saved it on your device, try sharing it as an Instagram post or WhatsApp message. For this auspicious occasion, you can also send greeting cards via email.

Illustrate your festival poster.

Veda Vyasa is acknowledged as one of the greatest gurus in Hinduism. Create an illustrated display poster for the classroom that explains the historical context and religious significance of this celebration to help children understand the importance of Guru Purnima in Indian tradition. Illuminate the poster with the full moon as a backdrop and include symbols of a spiritual life. Browse our professionally made templates and easy-to-use design elements to create something beautiful for this occasion in minutes.

Add quotes from a guiding light.

Sometimes a quote can help you express your wishes. On the day of Guru Purnima, create a striking poster and add a quote about the importance of gurus and teachers. Many famous people have talked about the contributions of a guru in shaping a young mind, so look up their words online. Or quote your favourite guru's special teachings. Take a philosophical approach and quote the gurus who explain more about the guru-disciple relationship. Look up what famous contemporary Gurus say about life without a guru or quote the words of Guru Nanak who said it's difficult to cross the water without a guru. If you do use a quote, make sure you acknowledge that it has been sourced from a sacred scripture by enclosing the words in quotation marks, like this - "Guru is the creator, Guru is the preserver, and Guru is the destroyer. Guru is the absolute Lord himself." – Shri Guru Gita. Use a graceful font like calligraphy or hand lettering to give authenticity to the quoted words.

Make flyers for your Guru Purnima celebrations.

If you're planning an Abhinandan ceremony at your school or college on Guru Purnima, make the program quickly and easily by using one of our flyer ideas. Upload your own photos or use some from the Adobe Express library of illustrations and high-quality stock photos. Choose images that suit the festival and pair them a prayer or spiritual quote for extra impact. Save time by using the same images and quotes in a keepsake certificate that you give to the teachers who are being honoured on the day.
