Best Guru Dakshina ever !



In the Indian tradition, the gift given to the Guru by the disciple, for teaching him the principles of Wisdom, is called Guru Dakshina or a present to the Destroyer of Ignorance ! ( gu -ignorance, ru - destroyer )

The WC is the best Guru Dakshina ever given to a Guru. Sachin has served India well for more than 21 years, with 99 hundreds and more than 32 K runs. He is not only the Guru of Indian cricket, he is a Guru to all cricketing aspirants worldwide ! And this is the best Guru Dakshina which his team mates can give !

Another Guru figure is Gary Kirsten. It is he who has taken Indian Cricket to the numero uno position. There are reports that he is resigning. There are also reports that he has been approached by the South African board. It is not the prudentest of courses for India to let him go.

This is also a great Guru Dakshina to him. If he exits, he has exited as the Guru who had lifted Indian cricket to the number one spot and made India the WC winners !
