Dedicated to all my students: past, present and future who are the
inspiring force behind this work.
I reproduce below the invocation from our great ancient scripture—the
Kathopanishad which shows the relationship between the teacher and the taught.
“O God, the almighty, bless us both (the teacher and the student)
together, develop us both together, give us strength together. Let the
knowledge acquired by us be bright and illuminant, and second to none.
Let both of us live together with love, affection and harmony. O God, let
there be physical, mental and spiritual peace.”
