Amitabh Bachchan marks Guru Purnima with a heartfelt message in Sanskrit

Mumbai, July 29 (IANS) Megastar Amitabh Bachchan marked the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima on July 29, by sharing a heartfelt message on the timeless significance of the guru-disciple relationship.

Taking to his blog, the 83-year-old cine icon wrote in Sanskrit that in English reads, “Ekampyakshrm yastu guru shishye nivedyet. Pruthivham naasti taddravyam yadattva hranuni bhavet”, a verse from the Skanda Purana that states that even if a guru imparts a single word to a disciple, no material wealth on earth can repay that debt.
