Importance of relation between Guru and disciple from Ramayana to Mahabharata...Guru-disciple tradition has a special importance in ancient Indian history and culture. The teacher is the source of knowledge and the disciple is considered the character of that knowledge. We get to see this tradition everywhere from epic Ramayana to Mahabharata. In this context, the story of Lord Hanuman and Lav-Kush also explains us the importance of the relation between Guru and disciple.When the war of Ramayana ended and Shriram accepted Sita, Lav and Kush were born. Love and Kush studied knowledge, martial arts and Vedas at Valmiki Ashram. Valmiki gave him full knowledge of Ramayana and prepared him for his duties towards society. They were strong, heroic and fearless, but their training and intellectual growth took place completely under the guidance of their Guru Valmiki.Love and Kush also fought with Shriram's army showing valour, but still, temples of Luv-Kush are rarely seen in India. There is a deep spiritual and cultural education hidden behind this.Now see Hanumanji on the other side. Respect and devotion towards Hanumanji can be seen all over India. Hanumanji attained his immortality because of his service, loyalty and dedication towards Lord Ram. They were not only devotees of Ram, but also the greatest disciples of Ram. Hanumanji got great life lessons from Shriram and put it in his actions.This devotion and dedication of Hanumanji made him a precious disciple of God. That is why you will find temples of Hanumanji in every corner of India. People worship Hanumanji because he established the symbol of selfless service and devotion towards his Guru, Lord Ram.Love and Kush were brave and great, but their place is not as high as the tradition of Guru-Disciple, as Hanumanji. Because Hanumanji taught us that no knowledge or valour is complete without devotion, loyalty and dedication. Knowledge and guidance obtained from the Guru is the path to true success in life.It is clear through this narrative that the relationship between teacher and disciple is given the most importance in India. Hanumanji's selfless dedication and service towards Ram teaches us that Guru's guidance and dedication of disciple gives right direction to life. This is why Hanumanji's temples are available everywhere in India, but the temples of Love and Kush are limited. This culture repeatedly reminds us that the existence of a disciple is incomplete without a teacher.
