Explaining the significance of the full moon on this day, Sadhguru said that the moon is closest to the earth on this Pournami among all the Pournamis in the year. He said it renders the human system receptive to the gravitational pull of the moon.

Sadhguru said that human beings must consciously choose to be in a pleasant state during this time as one’s emotions are amplified due to the influence of the moon. Hundreds of people braved rain and thunderstorms to attend the Satsangh at the Isha Institute. The Satsangh was telecast live and was watched by more than 500,000 people around the world.

Thousands of people from across Tamil Nadu visited Dhyanalingam, Linga Bhairavi and Adiyogi at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore. A traditional cultural performance by tribal folk artists and the Linga Bhairavi Yatra drew large crowds to the Yoga Center.

Guru Pournami is celebrated annually in July and is considered one of the most significant days for spiritual seekers. It was on this day that Adiyogi is said to have become Adi Guru or the First Guru and began to impart his teachings to the Saptarishis.
