Sahana Vavatu
Student Teacher Mantra 

This mantra is used not only in yoga circles. It is commonly chanted in many schools and educational programs of India as a way to honor the student and teacher relationship to create a genuine learning and developmental collaboration. For the smooth flow of information, knowledge, and experience, the teacher must earn the trust of the students, the students must be receptive to receive the teacher's knowledge, and both must be passionate and focused on the subject matter, which can also be influenced by a passionate enough teacher who has the ability to awaken passion in others.
