[Advaita-l] गुरुपूर्णिमा शुभाशयाः

[Raghav Kumar Dwivedula]

Thank you for that quote from bhaviShyottara purANa to indicate that it's
important even fir grihasthas.

"मम जन्मदिने सम्यक् पूजनीयः प्रयत्नतः आषाढ शुक्लपक्षे तु पूर्णिमायां गुरौ
तथा पूजनीयो विशेषेण,
वस्त्राभरणधेनुभिः दक्षिणाभिः सुपुष्ठाभिः मत्स्वरूपं प्रपूजयेत् । एवं कृतं
त्वया विप्र मत्स्वरूपस्य दर्शनं  भविष्यति,
न संदेहो मयैवोक्तं द्विजोत्तम ।'
