MENTOR-DESCIPLE RELATIONSHIP HAS NO ENDING

Madikeri Jan. 10

Mentor-disciple relationship has no ending. Even after the physical death the relationship continues through the communication of souls- analysed Shri Raghveshwara Bharathi swamiji of Gokarna temple. He delivered a blessing speech to Kodagu devotees in GSB hall Madikeri today after performing the morning pooja here.

The blood relationship between mother, father children, husband and wife may be disrupted for some or the other reasons. In many families pretentions are found for the outsiders that the family relationship is good, but internally those family members adjust themselves for selfish gains like property, dependability and for their personal future and actually they lack love towards each other. Other than blood relationship friends will be acquainted through mind set up. But, the relationship between mentor and disciple has crossed all these levels and that continues even after death- Swamiji explained.

New born child is entirely dependent on mother to grow up. But, the passing of time will convert the child’s mind to forget all those done by the parents when the youthfulness enters. When the physical body collapses, the relationship ends and the new birth makes the soul to have new blood relationships- said swamiji. He emphasized the need for strengthening the “Guru-disciple” relationship which makes one’s life change forever.

Kodagu “Hayaka samaja representative M.Ishwara Bhat welcomed the Swamiji. Gowda saraswatha brahmana samaj office bearers were honoured by Swamij for providing the GSB Bhavan for the stay and function..
