Vedanta - The River of WisdomShow Notes
Among young people these days, it is common to refer to each other as ‘Bro’ meaning a friend, a buddy, someone close like a brother.
While parent-child relationships often take centre stage in discussions about families, the sibling relationship is highly underrated and yet serves as a foundation for one’s maturity and personal growth.
How did siblings relate to each other in our Itihaasas, particularly the Ramayana and Mahabharata? We receive some insights on how they upheld Dharma.

Guru Paduka Stotram is a powerful set of well-known devotional verses that glorify the sacred “Padukas (Sandals) of the Guru. Why are the padukas or sandals sacred? Because of association with the feet of the guru. In the Vedic culture, the guru as well as his/her feet are worshipped. The feet represent the path taken by the teacher, the path prescribed by the Vedas of a life of Dharma and Moksha. The verses in this stotram describe the glory of the Guru-padukas, the qualities of the guru and how a seeker’s life transforms with a Guru’s grace. We look into the meaning and revel in the Guru's grace.
