Guru-Shishya Yoga

The relationship between the Guru and the disciple can be expressed through the relationship between the musician and the instrument...There are many ways that the two are tuned to one another...The tabla player hits the tabla (drum) with a hammer and continues to slap, tap and hit the disciple into perfection. The sitarist slowly harmonises the strings together in resonance - tightening, loosening & turning and tweaking. The vocalist tunes his vocal chords with breath. The disciple is internalised and is the exponent of the Guru's teachings.
