Amitabh Bachchan: Greetings on Guru Purnima .. and may the blessings of our elders our teachers, ever remain with us.
The megastar also shared a picture of his father, late poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan on Instagram.
He wrote: "Poet Kabir says , that individual is blinded if he doth ignore or show no belief in the guru ; for if the Lord be upset, then doth the Guru give solace , but when the Guru be upset then there be no comforting solace, no other path .. without the guru , there be no knowledge ; without knowledge there be no sacrament ; without sacrament there be no culture ; without culture there be no conduct ; without conduct there be no respect ; without respect there be no humanness; greetings on guru purnima .. my deference on the feet of my guru.
Manoj Bajpayee: On the occasion of GURU PURNIMA I bow down to all my Gurus who shaped me and gave me a clear direction without which I would have been a lost man with no knowledge and purpose!
Subhash Ghai: GURU PURNIMA. The word guru comes from the two Sanskrit words agu'+'ru'. Gu' means ignorance or darkness and 'ru' means the removal of darkness. Gurus are named so because they remove the darkness from our lives by teaching us the right things and showing us the right path.
Kunal Kohli: #GuruPurnima like Eklavya I had gurus who didn't directly teach me but yet taught me everything. Yash Chopra. Guru Dutt. Raj Khosla. Raj Kapoor. Manoj Kumar. Vijay Anand. Subhash Ghai. @MaheshNBhatt @shekharkapur.
