What it means
Tulsidas begins his epic by honouring his teacher. Whoever guided you, a parent, mentor or teacher, their influence can heal confusion and pain in ways medicine cannot.How it helps in real life
- With family: Your mother taught you to read at the kitchen table. Next time you visit, tell her that's why you love books today.
- Studies & exams: You're stuck on your thesis and spiralling. Email your old professor, share where you're stuck, and ask for twenty minutes of guidance.
हिंदी में अर्थ
मैं गुरु के चरण-कमलों की धूल को प्रणाम करता हूँ, जो सुगंधित, रसीली और प्रेम से भरी है। यह अमृत जैसी जड़ी का चूर्ण है जो संसार के सारे रोगों को मिटा देता है।
तुलसीदास अपना महाकाव्य गुरु को प्रणाम करके शुरू करते हैं। जिसने भी राह दिखाई, माता-पिता या शिक्षक, उनका असर मन के उलझन और दर्द को ठीक करता है।
Spoken by Tulsidas.
