Teaching is considered as the noble profession in Indian customs and teachers are always held high in Hinduism. In the holy scriptures, teacher has been described as - Guru Brahma Gurur Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwaraha, Guru Saakshat Para Brahma, Tasmai Sree Gurave Namaha (Teacher is verily the representative of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. He creates, sustains knowledge and destroys the weeds of ignorance. I salute such a Guru.)
