Ans.The relationship between a Guru and Shishya during Vedic times was spiritual and intellectual, and guided by mutual trust and responsibility. The Shishya was expected to be 'Grihatyagi' - meaning, they had to leave their home to live with their Guru. The Shishya did everything to worship their Guru - from cleaning and cooking, to following every order without questions. It was the Guru’s responsibility to bring out the best in their Shishya. The Shishya continued to live with their Guru until the completion of all lessons pertaining to the skill and way of life.
