ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ନିର୍ମାଣ ତଥା ସୁସ୍ଥ ସମାଜ ଗଠନରେ ଗୁରୁଙ୍କ ଭୂମିକା ମହତ୍ୱପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ। ଅଜ୍ଞାନର ଅନ୍ଧକାରରୁ ଆଲୋକର ମାର୍ଗରେ ପରିଚାଳିତ କରିବାରେ ଗୁରୁ ହିଁ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ପଥପ୍ରଦର୍ଶକ। ଜୀବନର ବିଭିନ୍ନ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରେ, ବିଭିନ୍ନ ରୂପରେ ଉଚିତ ମାର୍ଗଦର୍ଶନ କରୁଥିବା ଗୁରୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ପବିତ୍ର ଗୁରୁ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣିମାରେ ମୋର ପ୍ରଣାମ ଜଣାଉଛି। #GuruPurnima pic.twitter.com/tbZNdSlbct
