Every human needs guidance to step forward in their life, when they feel all alone. A guide, teacher or mentor brings that ray of light in their student’s life when he/she is lost and clueless about their life purpose.
Just like how Sri Krishna Ji was to Arjuna in the legendary Mahaharata. Even big warriors like Arjuna also need Guru Dronacharya and Sri Krishna Ji to pave the way for future prospects for regime, power, family and peace.
Guru Purnima 2026 is around the corner but the pious relation between a Guru (teacher) and student is celebrated and worshipped in Indian culture, since ages.

(Guru is the form of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. We worship Guru who is a supreme Brahmin)
