How to identify and follow a true Guru?

Schools and colleges have redefined the relationship between the teacher and student, since the early years of civilisation in the Indian subcontinent. At that time, the relationship was a sacred bond that could not be violated, by the teacher, student or the parents of the student. But today, the process has become much more intrusive. The trust that parents placed in the teacher to guide their student along the right path has become rare. So rare that it can only be found in certain kinds of institutions and ways of life. What has changed since that time? Have we moved to a time where a teacher's wisdom and the student's hunger to learn don't count for anything anymore? In this episode, we discuss these dynamics and compare it to the sacred relationship of 'Guru and Shishya/Disciple'. It is not as simple as attending class one day and then flitting off till the next class. It is a bond so sacred where they pledge each other's time and loyalty for mutual growth and development. Listen in to learn how that dynamic has changed and how you can identify the 'Real Gurus' who are really worth following.
