Our mother and father are first and foremost Gurus. Then teacher (who imparts knowledge for lively things) follows.. later stage Master (guides us in spritual path, supreme knowledge) for me Sri Ramana Maharishi, Om Kriya Babaji in Himalayas, 18 sidhhas including Thirummoolar, 63 nayanmars, 12 Azhwars and Four Saiva saints (Thirugnana sambandhar, Sundarar, Appar and Manickavasagar) are my guides to the spritual path..
My kids are studying in "Amrita Vidyalayam" - today the parents were done padha pooja by their kids, washing, aplying tilak, performing pooja ... it was heart touching...If most of the school follows, it will be great lift for our culture
