Udaipur, September 5, 2026: The ‘Apno Se Apni Baat’ programme was organised at Narayan Seva Sansthan on Saturday in the presence of Sansthan president Prashant Agrawal. Treated Divyangjan, trainees undergoing mobile, computer and tailoring courses, along with patients who had arrived from across the country for treatment and their family members, participated in the programme.

Guru-Shishya Tradition

Prashant Agrawal highlighted the traditional guru-shishya relationship and referred to the bond between Lord Krishna and Maharishi Sandipani, as well as Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda.

He said a guru is not merely someone who imparts knowledge but also a guide who gives the right direction to life. A disciple, meanwhile, has the responsibility of incorporating the knowledge, values and guidance received from the guru into his or her conduct.

Agrawal said that with a willingness to learn, a person can learn something from everyone, every situation and even from animals and birds. He cited Lord Dattatreya, who is believed to have learned from 24 gurus.

He said opportunities to learn are hidden in nature and even in small incidents of everyday life. The need is simply to observe and understand them.

Message of Karma Yoga

Referring to the message of Karma Yoga in the Bhagavad Gita, Agrawal said that the principle of continuing to perform one’s duties without being attached to the desire for results should be adopted by every disciple.

He said remaining honest towards one’s duties and goals and continuing to work consistently is the foundation of success.

During the programme, Agrawal interacted with the trainees and learned about their experiences, training and future plans. He encouraged them to continue learning, sharpen their skills and use their abilities for the benefit of society.
