The Power of a Teacher - Celebrating Mentors Who Shape Lives 📝


Listen to this Blog:By Ganesh Datta Lakkur


गुरू ब्रह्मा गुरू विष्णु, गुरु देवो महेश्वरा | गुरु साक्षात परब्रह्म, तस्मै श्री गुरुवे नम:


ಗುರುರ್ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾ ಗುರುರ್ವಿಷ್ಣುಃ ಗುರುರ್ದೇವೋ ಮಹೇಶ್ವರಃ | ಗುರುಃ ಸಾಕ್ಷಾತ್ ಪರಂ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ ತಸ್ಮೈ ಶ್ರೀಗುರವೇ ನಮಃ


Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu Gurur Devo Maheshwaraha | Gurur Saakshath Parabrahma Tasmay Sri Guravenamaha


This sacred shloka acknowledges the Guru as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—the creator, sustainer, and destroyer—because a true teacher creates knowledge, sustains it, and destroys ignorance. Through this divine process, the Guru liberates the disciple from the cycle of samsara and guides them toward enlightenment and Moksha. On this auspicious Teacher’s Day, I wish to begin with this shloka to honor all the teachers who have been guiding lights in my life and many others. A teacher is a beacon in the midst of the darkness that surrounds us, empowering us with the knowledge to stand firm on our feet, to navigate life’s challenges, and to succeed on our journey. The success of a teacher is beautifully intertwined with the success of their students, and this day serves as a reminder to express gratitude for the invaluable role teachers play in shaping lives.



A warm and heartfelt Teacher’s Day to all my readers. Reflecting on my own journey, I never imagined becoming a teacher when I was younger. Yet, today, I am immensely proud of the path I chose. Being a teacher, especially in today’s world, is no easy feat. In a time when information is available at our fingertips, thanks to the internet, the role of a teacher has evolved from being a source of knowledge to being a guide, a mentor, and an inspiration. And it is this transformation that makes teaching so fulfilling and rewarding.

When I look back, I realize how deeply I have been shaped by my teachers. My teachers have been my pillars of strength, not only imparting knowledge but also instilling values and beliefs that have guided me through life. Their words of wisdom, their patience, and their dedication left an indelible mark on my character. They encouraged me to dream big, to believe in myself, and to never give up in the face of adversity. Their influence didn’t just help me pass exams or get through school; they helped me become the person I am today—a person driven by the desire to inspire others, to share knowledge, and to make a difference. My heartfelt gratitude and pranaams to all the teachers who have been instrumental in my growth. Your teachings have been the foundation upon which I stand today, and I owe so much of my success to your guidance.


It was through the influence of these remarkable individuals that I discovered my own passion for teaching. I realized that the best way to honor my teachers and the lessons they instilled in me was to pass on that knowledge to others. I became passionate about helping people build their careers, especially by focusing on the skills that are crucial for success in today’s corporate world. In this ever-evolving landscape, where technical know-how and industry knowledge are vital, it is equally important to develop soft skills that enhance one's professional journey. Communication, leadership, teamwork, and emotional intelligence—these are the skills that can make all the difference in a person’s career trajectory.

My journey as an educator has allowed me to guide countless learners to acquire these essential skills and unlock their full potential. It is incredibly rewarding to see individuals, who once lacked confidence, transform into self-assured professionals ready to tackle the challenges of the corporate world. Helping people discover their strengths, overcome their weaknesses, and climb the corporate ladder has been my life’s greatest joy. The idea that I could contribute to someone’s success, just as my teachers contributed to mine, is what drives me every day.


But this journey wouldn’t have been possible without the collective effort of my team. I would be remiss not to mention the dedication and passion of my trainers who have stood by my side, inspiring learners and shaping the careers of so many individuals. Special thanks to my team of soft skills trainers at Imarticus Learning. Your tireless efforts, unwavering commitment, and passion for making a difference have been pivotal in our shared mission to empower others. Your ability to connect with students, understand their needs, and help them navigate their paths is nothing short of inspiring. Together, we are not just teaching; we are transforming lives, creating opportunities, and helping learners reach their fullest potential.


Each trainer on my team understands the importance of guiding learners not only through technical education but also through personal and professional development. You are helping them choose the right paths, instilling confidence, and equipping them with the tools they need to be self-sufficient and impactful in their careers. From communication to problem-solving, from leadership to collaboration, you are providing learners with the skills that truly matter in today’s fast-paced, competitive world.
