The above quote in Sanskrit, few of here know it, some have heard it but many have never understood it.Well my dear friends I start with the salutation to my teachers all here.
The meaning & the translation of the above Sanskrit quote - goes like this – “I bow to my teacher who has opened my eyes blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with enlightening rays of knowledge.”
The phrase defines the way we are in our current state as a student – blind..!, ignorant…! and a no where…!.
Well our guru – the teacher, plays a phenomenal role in transforming us & bringing us to light from the world of darkness where we are in today. They devise us to choose a right path in achieving our dreams and objectives.
They enlighten us with knowledge – knowledge is power. They sculpt us with a power to make us look beyond our expectation. They fuel us to run in pursuit of excellence. They strengthen us to fight all odds in our life, which is tuff and yet to come.
The saga of Eklavya epitomizes the loyalty and respect to the teacher in Indian culture, well today my guru…! , my teacher…! We cannot render you guru dakshina for all that you have given us. But we render our loving heart and say aloud.
"Guru Brahma Gurur Vishnu
Guru Devo Maheshwaraha
Guru Saakshat Para Brahma
Tasmai Sree Gurave Namaha"
Guru is verily the representative of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. He creates, sustains knowledge and destroys the weeds of ignorance. I salute such a Guru. (Tell loudly)
Thank you.
