                     Today, Guru purnima, is said to be the appearance day of Srila Vyasadeva and therefore all followers of the vedic literatures worship him today, including the mayavadis. And since the spiritual master is the representative of Vyasadeva he is also worshipped today. Therefore this day is known as Guru purnima also. In the Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya not only the diksa guru, initiating spiritual master, but also the siksa-guru, the instructing spiritual master, is worshipped, as well as the previous acaryas, who are also siksa-gurus.
