Annidamamulalonu anna daname goppa
Kanna vari kante Ghanulu leru
Enna Gurunikanna nekkuava leraya
Viswadha Abhirama Vinura Vema.
Telugu Version :
అన్ని దానములలోను అన్న దాన మే గొప్ప
కన్నా వారి కంటే ఘనులు లేరు.
ఎన్న గురునికన్నా నెక్కువలేరయా
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ
Meaning : Of all the Daanas (Charity) Anna Dana is the noblest one. Parents are the most valuable and Precious Jewels one can have and the Guru who dispels the ignorance from the minds has to be respected as Lord Brahma.
Respecting Parents and Guru is a noble quality that can be bequeathed for generations as the quality of charity is inherited from parents.
Story: Sandeepani Maharshi was the Guru of Krishna and Balarama. He always felt honored to teach LORD Vishnu in the form of Krishna. Both Balarama and Krishna had learned all the skills imparted by their Guru Sandipani with utmost interest and focus thus achieving success. The relationship between Guru(Sandipani)and his students(Krishna and Balarama) was so strong and stood exemplary.
On completion of the course,Krishna and Balarama bowed to sandipani and said that they want to pay "Guru Dakshina" for all the knowledge and skills that he imparted to them. Sandipani Maharshi said "I don't want any money but please rescue my son who was eaten away by the Ocean. Immediately, they went to the Ocean and asked to release Sandipani's son for which the Ocean replied that Panchajanya the demon had killed him. Krishna immediately killed Pachajanya to save the boy from his stomach but in vain. By then the boy reached Yamaoka . Yama, on hearing shankha blown by Krishna released Sandipani's son. Thus they could pay tribute to their teacher.
This story tells us that irrespective of our status, wealth, and position,we need to respect the teacher.
