षडंगादिवेदो मुखे शास्त्रविद्या
कवित्वादि गद्यं सुपद्यं करोति
मनश्चेन्न लग्नं गुरोरंघ्रिपद्मे
ततः किं ततः किं ततः किं ततः किम्
sadangadivedo mukhe shastravidya
kavitvadi gadyam supadyam karoti |
manashcenna lagnam guroranghripadme
tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim tatah kim ||
which means "The Vedas with their six limbs and the knowledge of all sciences may be on one’s lips; one may possess the poetic gift and may compose fine prose and poetry; but if one’s mind be not centred upon the lotus feet of the Guru, what then, what then, what then?"
– Guruvastakam by Sri Adi Sankara
We can reach whatever heights we want in life, can mature with age and wisdom, can progress in every aspects in life but all these starts with the blessings of the teacher. There is no greater blessings than the love, hope, guidance, warmth and care of a teacher.
My humble Pranams to all my Teachers, my Facilitators, Seniors at my work place, my Husband, my invisible Gurus yet powerful Book Author's, especially Dr. Brain Weiss, my Trainers @ MDA/Ananya, My fellow Remedial Educators and all Teachers...Wishing everyone a Happy Teachers Day on this special day!
- Suganthi Sankaran
