The Guru in the Hindu tradition is looked upon as an embodiment of God himself. For, it is through his grace and guidance that one reaches the highest state of wisdom and bliss. "My salutations to the Guru who is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara. The Guru is Parabrahma incarnate"
The guru-shishya tradition is the transmission of teachings from a guru (teacher), to a shishya (disciple). In this relationship, subtle and advanced knowledge is conveyed and received through the student's respect, commitment, devotion and obedience.

Bhagvad Geeta is the result of the teachings given to Arjuna by Krishna.
