In Indian culture and Sanatan Dharma, Guru has been given a higher status than God. The holy festival ‘Guru Purnima’, celebrated on the full moon day of Ashadh month, is being celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across the country this year too. It is believed that on this auspicious date, Maharishi Vedvyas ji, the author of Vedas, was born, hence it is also called Vyas Purnima. Worshiping Guru on this special day removes all the troubles of life and brings good fortune. But do you know that it is mandatory to follow some special rules on this day? Let us know what to do, what not to do on Guru Purnima and what gift to gift to your Gurudev so that you can get his special blessings.
What to do on the day of Guru Purnima and how to get the blessing of good luck
On this auspicious occasion, waking up before sunrise in the morning and taking bath in holy rivers or by mixing Ganga water at home is considered very auspicious. After this, wear clean clothes and go to your Guru, touch his feet and worship him as per the rituals. If your Guru is not present with you, then keep his picture or the statue of Maharishi Vedvyas Ji in front and offer incense, lamp, sandalwood and flowers. Donating food, clothes or money to the needy and Brahmins on this day calms the Pitra Dosh and Guru Dosh (Jupiter Dosh) of the horoscope, thereby opening the way for progress in life.
Do not do this work even by mistake, otherwise Devguru Brihaspati may get angry.
According to the scriptures, one should avoid committing some mistakes on the day of Guru Purnima, otherwise one may have to face financial and mental problems in life. On this day, do not even by mistake insult your teacher, parents, elders or any knowledgeable person nor use harsh words in front of them. On this holy date, one should not consume tamasic food like meat, alcohol or garlic and onion at home. Apart from this, by arguing with anyone on this day or creating an atmosphere of discord in the house, both Goddess Lakshmi and Devguru Jupiter get angry, due to which the happiness and prosperity of the house goes away.
