Teacher taught relationship from Gorakhsutras
Abstract
The Guru-Shisya tradition denotes a succession of teachers and disciples in traditional Indian culture and religions. It is the tradition of spirtiutal relationship and mentoring where teachings are transmitted from a guru (Modern day teacher) to a shishya (Modern day disciple/taught). Such knowledge is imported through the developing relationship between the guru and disciple. It is considered that this relationship is based on mutual faith, tust, confidence, co-operation, committment and devotion. The student eventually masters the knowledge that guru imparts and embodies. Today, this relationship is under threat, challenge and is being looked upon with suspicion. it is in this atmoshere that authors look back at Indian wisdom more specifically the Gorakh sutras written by Maha Yogi Guru Gorakhnath for their relevance in teacher taught relationship and whether they could be of any help in restoring and rebuilding this relationshio.
