Guru–shishya tradition

Résumé
The guru–shishya tradition, or parampara ("lineage"), denotes a succession of teachers and disciples in Indian-origin religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism (including Tibetan and Zen traditions). Each parampara belongs to a specific sampradaya, and may have its own gurukulas for teaching, which might be based at akharas, gompas, mathas, viharas or temples.

The student eventually masters the knowledge that the guru embodies. Guru–shishya means "succession from guru to disciple".

In the traditional residential form of education, the shishya remains with his or her guru as a family member and gets the education as a true learner.

The relationship between Krishna and Arjuna in the Mahabharata, and between Rama and Hanuman in the Ramayana, are examples of Bhakti. In the Upanishads, gurus and disciples appear in a variety of settings (e.g.
