" We recall the guru-shishya parampara with legitimate pride: the care, devotion and commitment that is at the heart of this relationship. A guru much like the soft and skilful hands of a potter, moulds the destiny of shishya. The student with devotion and humility acknowledges the debt of the teacher." Speech extracts of President of India, 14-08-2015.
