The Guru Tradition

The Guru Tradition - This book is an excellent transalation of the lectures on Guru-tattva-the concept of the Educator (Perceptor)-delivered in Tamil by Pujyasri Chandrasekharendra Sarasvati Swami in Deivathin Kural. It is so simple as can be easily understood. Sri Paramacharyal's discourses on the concept of the Guru covered in this work emcompasses the entire ambit of preceptors and teachers from the sage-gurus, the preceptors of gurukulas of the distant past and adhyapakas of pathasalas down to the college professors and schoolteachers of the present time. Understanding the wide gap between the modern day teaching and the past-will induce the modern day teachers (willing to modify their own course) to adopt the course laid by our Purvacharyas as described by Paramacharyal in this book.
