In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Isvara Samhita Vol 5Gurvādimudrā (गुर्वादिमुद्रा) or simply Gurvādi is the name of a mudrā described in the Īśvarasaṃhitā 59-60.—Accordingly, “the two hands are to be turned to make a casket in the direction of him who forms this mudrā. They should be stretched in front of the forehead, with the head bend. This is the mudrā of the three persons beginning from Guru and it pleases the mind”. Mūdra (eg., Gurvādimudrā) is so called as it gives joy to the tattvas in the form of karman for those who offer spotless worship, drive out the defects which move about within and without and sealing up of what is done.
