Today everyone celebrates the festival of Dussehra without knowing its true significance. With the increasing stress and tension in modern society, festivals like Navratri and Dussehra have become an escape route for people to just forget their worries and dance for 10 days without knowing any importance to it.
Guiding Light: One Satguru
In India, the tradition of following a Guru dates back to many thousand years. In fact, in Hindu society, it is often believed that a person who dies without a Guru has led a useless life. That is why devotees flock to gurus and have staunch faith in them. There are many kinds of gurus in the world. Some of them are considered to be messiahs sent by God to redeem humans.
If we look closely at all these beliefs that surround many gurus, we can see that most of the beliefs or claims are exaggerated or ill-founded. Some gurus are even seen as avatars of Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva, and some goddesses and some also claim to be God in persona. In the Bhagavad Gita, it is said that God comes to liberate all human beings, even the sages and gurus are uplifted when He comes.
