A Teacher maketh a Man. On this auspicious day of Guru Purnima.
Indian culture holds the Guru in the highest pedestal than any other culture in the world. The mantra goes as maatha, pitha, guru, deivam. It is through one's parents that one enters this world. Thereafter, it is the Guru that opens the door to greater possibilities and growth. Since ancient times, this land that has seen many enlightened souls and masters, has celebrated and dedicated this day to one of the three most revered persons of one's life, the Guru.
It is befitting today, to quote the late Dr. APJ, who himself wanted to be remembered not as a scientist or a president, but as a teacher; he said, '3 people can change society: the mother, the father and the teacher.'
On this auspicious day, let us bow down to our Gurus, in devotion and gratitude, for the knowledge and wisdom that they have dispensed and taught us.
Wishes on this day of Guru Purnima.
