~Jacques Barzun
A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism.~
Louis A. BermanA teacher’s purpose is not to create students in his own image,but to develop students who can create their own image. ~
AnonTeaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures. ~Eugene P. BertinThe true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple. ~Amos Bronson AlcottA central piece in Hindu scripture reads “Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Guru devo Maheshwaraha - Gurussaakshaath param brahma tasmai shree gurave namaha,”which translates as
“The Guru (Teacher) is the
Lord Brahma (the Creator),the Guru is the Lord Vishnu (the Preserver),
the Guru is the Lord Shiva (the
Destroyer).The Guru is the Supreme Brahman (Ultimate Reality) visible to our eyes. To that Guru we offer our
salutations” -

September 5th is the Birth anniversary of one of the modern India’s most notable Teachers and philosophers, the Late Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was Independent India’s second President. We have been observing it ever since his passing away as our country’s Teachers’ Day. We take pride in the thoughts and teachings of this Guru of the Gurus, someone who possessed the qualities of a Rishi and a Raja and thus was considered a Rajarshi.
