Happy Teachers Day
Happy Teachers Day to sll. The concept of honoring teachers is indeed deeply rooted in ancient Indian texts and traditions. Here's a brief overview:
Vedas and Upanishads:
- "Acharya Devo Bhava" (Teacher is God) - Taittiriya Upanishad
- Emphasize guru-shishya parampara (teacher-student tradition)
Bhagavad Gita:
- Stresses importance of seeking knowledge from realized teachers
Manu Smriti:
- Outlines respect due to gurus, even above parents
These texts highlight:
1. Teachers as divine/spiritual guides
2. Knowledge transfer as sacred duty
3. Reverence for educators in society
While modern Teachers Day is recent, it aligns with millennia-old Indian reverence for gurus and knowledge-givers.
