These teachings, originally published in Tamil in the series \u003cem\u003eDaivattin Kural\u003c\/em\u003e (Voice of God), are translated into English by R.G.K., a former assistant editor of \u003cem\u003eThe Illustrated Weekly of India\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book discusses the evolution of the Guru tradition, beginning with the sage-gurus and preceptors of ancient times, progressing through the Gurukulas and Pathasalas, and concluding with modern-day schoolteachers and college professors. It emphasizes the importance of value-based education and contrasts it with the current education system, which often prioritizes material success over spiritual and intellectual growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePujyasri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swami was the 68th Sankaracharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Pitha.
