Puja for Gurupurnima from Jadan
The Guru is the supreme reality and the sole source of liberation. The ceremony is an act of worship to that principle. The ritual involves purification, mantra chanting, and offerings to the divine. The Guru is visualized as the remover of all obstacles. Devotion is expressed through the sanctification of the seat and the elements. The practice centers on venerating the Guru's feet and form. The ultimate goal is to receive grace for enlightenment.
"Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ."
"Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Gurur Mūrtiḥ, Pūjā Mūlaṁ Guror Padam, Mantra Mūlaṁ Guror Vākyaṁ, Mokṣa Mūlaṁ Guru Kripa."
